Meeting Description
Inaugural World Conference: Ideology and Discourse Analysis (IDA). 'Rethinking Political Frontiers and Democracy in a New World Order'
Over the course of the last 25 years, the Essex School in Ideology and Discourse Analysis has established itself as an important and distinctive alternative to mainstream social science approaches. Established in 1982 by Professor Ernesto Laclau, the intellectual programme in Ideology and Discourse Analysis draws on a wide range of traditions and disciplines to develop a novel set of conceptual tools intended to enhance theoretical, empirical, and normative research.
Taking an anti-essentialist conception of discourse as a central theoretical category, the IDA programme draws on and engages with post-marxism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, post-Heideggerian phenomenology and hermeneutics, post-analytical philosophy, among others. Discourse theory, as deployed by the IDA research programme has thus come to be associated with a series of proper names, such as Marx, Gramsci, Althusser, Saussure, Barthes, Laclau and Mouffe, Lacan, Zizek, Derrida, Wittgenstein, and Foucault.
It is in the context of its now quarter-century history that we are pleased to announce the inaugural IDA world conference, held at Roskilde University, Denmark. This conference aims to support the continuing development of the IDA approach and to establish dialogues with related approaches. The conference is thus designed to offer opportunities for discussion and debate on a range of theoretical, methodological and substantive topics of analysis.
Panel topics might include: Political theory Post-marxism Discourse Analysis Identity Ideology Ethics Critique Psychoanalysis Rhetoric Democracy Critical Management Studies Critical Policy Analysis Policy Networks Political Economy Methodology Multiculturalism Islamism New World Orders Environmentalism
