Analysing   the relationship between text and context from a discourse theoretical   perspective (35min +   Q&A 20min)

从话语理论角度分析文本与语境的关系

Abstract: Discourse   studies is mainly associated with the discipline of linguistics, and the   development of concrete textual analysis methods.  However, following on from the influence of   thinkers like Michel Foucault, we can also point to another influential   tradition of discourse analysis that has been informed by an expansive   understanding of discourse that goes beyond a narrow linguistic focus on   ‘discourse which is there’ (Blommaert, 2005, p. 35) in the text. This   presentation talks about my own longstanding engagement with one example of   this latter approach: the ‘post-Marxist’ discourse theoretical tradition   associated with Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe (Dahlberg & Phelan,   2011; Glynos & Howarth, 2007; Laclau & Mouffe, 2001. Mouffe, 2005),   which, as a disciplinary identity, is primarily aligned with the field of   critical political theory. I discuss how this approach shaped (in a general   way) the theoretical and methodological rationale of a 2022 paper I published   in Discourse & Society (Phelan, 2002), which examined a November   2020 BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) current affairs broadcast about   how the science of COVID-19 was politicized during the pandemic (BBC   Newsnight, 2020). I discuss how the article conceptualized the relationship   between text and context, by highlighting how the BBC text implicitly spoke   to ‘culture war’ discourses and conflicts (Hunter, 1991) that were never   explicitly mentioned in the text. I end by summarizing some of the relative   strengths of discourse theory as a framework for critically understanding the   political and social logic of discourse.

Analysing action in interaction (35min + Q&A 20min)

分析互动中的行动

Abstract: In this Data Session, we will   analyse two short videoclips of a 20-month old baby interacting with her   mother. We will employ sequential analysis and draw on Enfield and Sidnell’s   (2017) study of 'action in interaction' to illustrate the relationships between   words and actions and the goal-directed nature of social   behaviour.  Our attention will be directed towards the detailed   examination of turns-at-talk and operate under the assumption that the   speaker's conduct is driven by purpose and goals, recognizing their relevance   in determining the subsequent course of action and the manner in which it   unfolds.

From idea to paper:   Talking through the process (35min +   Q&A 20min)

从想法到成文：对学术写作过程的讨论

Abstract: In this short presentation, I take one   project and walk participants through my research methods and the thinking   that goes behind them. First, I talk about my philosophy and creative process   behind what I choose to research and what questions I want to answer in my   qualitative research using my work with Peiwen Wang on the ‘Chinese virus’   discourse (Catalano & Wang 2022; Wang & Catalano, 2021, 2023). Next,   I discuss how I select my data and how I initially code and organize it. I   then show students how I use MAXQDA to further code and organize the data   into patterns that I can create meaning from. Later, I demonstrate the   iterative approach to data analysis in which I repeatedly “go back and forth   between various stages of research” looking at the data, returning to theory   in order to make sense of it, and ensuring academic rigor in the process   (Bhattacharya, 2017, p. 23). Finally, I present how I am able to make   conclusions from the data and end with a few final thoughts about the value   of qualitative research and the way in which the process can vary depending   on a variety of factors.

Doing analysis:   From finding the Phenomena to the Rule of Threes (35min +   Q&A 20min)

进行分析：从发现现象到“三原则”

Abstract: The process of analysis can often seem like a   mysterious art that requires a magical key to unlock. There is of course no   magical key, but rather, doing effective and engaging analysis requires large   amounts of time in developing analytic insight and honing intellectual   dexterity, but it also involves routine practice and practical stages that   structures both the work of analysis and the work of writing and presenting   research. Drawing on examples from my recent research on Chinese social   media, I will focus on these two aspects as entwined, the process and   practice of analysis and the presentation of research. I begin with reasons   for choosing some data for analysis, the why this now?, before then   discussing how to build levels of depth to analysis. As important as the   skill of analysis is, the art of writing and the presentation of analysis as   research is equally important as each informs the other. In the second part   of the talk I discuss the analytic and practical work of organising and   presenting research effectively for an audience or reader. A thread running   through the talk is the orientation to the ‘rule of threes’ as a practical   organising principle, or my key, that I have found useful in both my   own analysis and in research training.

Critical text ethnography   – combining CDA and ethnographic approaches to analyse contemporary media   discourse (35min +   Q&A 20min)

批判性文本民族志学——结合CDA和民族志方法分析当代媒体话语

Abstract:   Norman Fairclough's (1992) Critical Discourse Analysis and Dell Hymes's   (1974) Ethnography of Communication can be positioned diametrically apart on   a methodological continuum. On the one hand, the starting point for CDA is   the discovering of bias, inequality and power in public, generally written   text. Ethnography of Communication starts with a particular communicative   interaction, generally spoken, working from no assumptions through   observation and description. Over time, as methodological boundaries have   blurred, both approaches have evolved significantly, with the emergence of   critical ethnographic approaches and the development of   discourse-ethnographic approaches, particularly in relation to policy and   institutional studies (e.g. Krzyżanowski 2011). In this talk, I demonstrate   how an adapted model of Dell Hymes's SPEAKING framework can be fruitfully   combined with Fairclough's three-dimensional model to analyse media texts   across a range of genres and modes, using a worked example.

Refugees   Welcome discourse (35min + Q&A 20min)

“欢迎难民”运动的话语分析

Abstract:In the summer of 2025 hundreds of thousands of   refugees from the Middle East arrived in Western Europe. Different from the   official anti-refugee policies in Europe, these refugees were received by   volunteers of the new social movement Refugees Welcome. This lecture is about   the discourse of this kind of solidarity movement, in general, and about the   Refugees Welcome movement in particular. We'll examine fragments of   interviews with volunteers, Facebook posts, as well as media articles and   debates in UK Parliament on the Refugees Welcome movement. Details of this   lecture can be found in my new book Social Movement Discourse. An   Introduction, to be published by Routledge in December 2023.

Collective memory,   necropolitics and discourse: the Vietnam War remembered (35min + Q&A 20min)

集体记忆、死亡政治和话语：记忆中的越南战争

Abstract: This research presents a critical multimodal discourse analysis   (CMDA) of collective remembering of the Vietnam War. Collective memory and   commemoration are seen as political practices (Milani & Richardson,   2022), that have been used historically to frame what Mbembe calls the   “necropolitics of death” (2003) on the racialized Other (in this case the   Vietnamese). This project makes a novel contribution to the burgeoning body   of research on the discourse of necropolitics in war remembrance (Evershed,   2019; McIntosh, 2021) that has focused mainly on textual data; it also adds   to the existing literature on collective memory in the context of Critical   Discourse Studies (Milani & Richardson, 2022; Wodak & Richardson,   2009; Strath & Wodak, 2009; Heer at al., 2008). Our dataset includes 49   photographs, taken during the Vietnam war. These photographs were published   on the occasion of the 42nd ‘Vietnam War’ commemoration in the New York Times   in 2016 and were reproduced as part of the NYT’s Learning Network that includes   “resources, strategies and ideas for teaching with the New York Times.” In an   attempt to reveal how cultural artifacts can be used to sustain the   necropolitical architecture utilized from the past into the present and into   the future, we seek to explore in what ways Vietnam War necropolitics   are reproduced discursively and multimodally in this set of photographs. We   draw on van Leeuwen’s (2008) CMDA framework (depicting strategies, symbolic   social dimensions between the depicted and the viewer) to analyze our data.   The data showcases an excessive presentation of the racialized and gendered   Vietnamese as the living dead in brutally destroyed deathworlds. Meanwhile,   images of Americans taken on the same battlefields, project the dynamic   nature of life and living. We discuss the findings in the context and history   of racialization and imperial colonialization with a focus on how   commemorations continue to establish the power to kill and provoke   sentimentalism toward the Other who is necessarily disposed (Stoler, 2010).

A Sample of Research from “A Multimodal Critical Discourses Study of   Children’s ELT Textbooks” (35min + Q&A 20min)

儿童英语教材的多模态批评话语研究个案分析

Abstract:   Textbooks are indispensable components and in   some case the cornerstones of the mission of English Language Teaching (ELT).   However, they are artefacts of a pedagogical culture that rarely echo the   concerns of their most prolific consumers: teachers and students. This sample   of research is a follow-up to some research already presented to students at   the Institute of Corpus Studies and Applications - Shanghai International   Studies University – earlier in 2023 and features analyses of a few excerpts   in popular, children’s English Language Teaching textbooks from   Pearson-Longman Publishing, Cambridge University Press and Oxford University   Press. The analysis uses a framework for evaluating ELT textbooks from a   critical discourse perspective; one that is based on sound current research   but also offers practical guidance to teachers. Building from a foundational   understanding of ELT textbooks, we will explore a systematic procedure to   critically analyze their multimodal discourses, where not only the text but   the pictures, websites, audio, visual elements are examined to reveal   underlying ideologies, assumptions, omissions and reifications. The critical   multimodal analysis template (CMAT) featured in this presentation is one   facet of a larger triangulated analytical framework designed to help students   and practitioners understand the multimodal discourses in their textbooks.

Analysing   Embodied Teaching from a Systemic-Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis   Approach [SF-MDA] (35min + Q&A 20min)

运用系统-功能多模态话语分析考察具身化教学

Abstract:   In this   presentation, I will walk the participants through how I would analyse a   segment of the teacher’s embodied teaching in a video lecture from a   systemic-functional multimodal discourse analysis (SF-MDA) approach   (O’Halloran & Lim, 2014). The video is Professor W. Gilbert Strang’s   first lecture in Linear Algebra accessed from Massachusetts Institute of   Technology (MIT) Open Courseware (OCW). I will show how the professor’s use   of language and gestures can be analysed and interpreted in the context of specific   episodic stages during the mathematics lecture using the multimodal analysis   video software (O’Halloran, et al., 2013). The analysis reveals the interplay   of experiential, interpersonal and textual meanings to construct a sense of   structured informality (Lim, 2021). I will conclude by inviting the   participants to reflect on the value and limitations of the SF-MDA approach.

Analysing   ‘intersectionalisation’ in discourse (35min + Q&A 20min)

分析话语中的“交叠化”现象

Abstract:   The term   ‘Intersectionality’, coined by Kimberle Crenshaw (1989, 1991) to refer to the   multiple dimensions of oppression experienced by socially marginalized   subjects, has been advanced in critical legal, race and gender studies. In   this talk, I discuss some recent work I’ve undertaken in employing the   concept in the critical discourse analysis of an LGBT social movement   discourse (Lazar, in press). Specifically, I’ve proposed the term   ‘intersectionalisation’ as a meta-discursive strategy that mobilises the intersectionality   of multiple social identities (e.g. gender, sexuality, race, class,   generation) for sociopolitical and ideological purposes. I’ll talk about my   data selection from a corpus of publicly available videos released by the   LGBT movement and the analysis of excerpts from one of the videos to   demonstrate how the intersectionalisation of identities is brought into play   for the purpose of social movement-building.

Working   with (small) stories on social media (35min + Q&A 20min)

社交媒体（小）故事研究

Abstract:   Drawing   on a longitudinal study of how, what I have called in prior work, small   stories are reconfigured and shaped by social media affordances, I will   present a step-by-step way of working with stories on social media. This   approach is located within discourse analysis and sociolinguistic   perspectives on social media communication. I will first outline the   key-elements of technography, as a synthesizing method (e.g. combining   ethnographic observations with corpus compilation) that allows me to explore   the interconnections between platform discourses about stories, the   technological affordances offered for telling stories, and users’   storytelling practices. I will then show how we can collect, code and analyze   stories as multi-modal, ephemeral data, with specific reference to my study   of influencers’ Instagram Stories. In doing so, I will tease out key-findings   about sharing-life-in-the-moment as a salient narrative practice in the   digital era, with implications for how storytellers, in particular, the so   called Gen Z, present themselves.

‘Seeing is believing’:   The semiotics of online news photographs (35min + Q&A 20min)

“眼见为实”：在线新闻照片的符号学分析

Abstract:   This talk shows how the accompanying visual material in news stories   can be analysed in order to reveal underlying perspectives and ideologies. In   this way, it challenges the traditional lay belief that press photographs   provide a more ‘objective’ account of reality in news accounts than the   verbal description of the events covered. Adopting a social semiotic and   critical perspective, the presentation discusses the meaning potential of   single photographs and image sequences, showing how they can be used not only   as units of representation but also as distinct storytelling devices.   Additionally, the talk addresses the issues of authenticity and visual   verisimilitude, which are based on the ideal of documentary realism, and   notes some of the opposing trends in journalistic visual.

Studying emotion in political discourse (35min + Q&A 20min)

政治话语中的情感研究

Abstract: Recent interest in   political discourse has focused on the way that some political leaders use   emotions in media and social media. IN particular, the use of strong, often   negative, emotions has been linked to a populist style in politics. In this   presentation I will provide a framework for studying emotions in political   discourse, illustrated by some recent examples (Farage, Trump, Iglesias).
