Argumentation et Analyse du Discours
Scope & Guideline
Innovating Research in the Art of Persuasion.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Discourse Analysis:
The journal emphasizes the importance of discourse analysis, examining how language constructs meaning and influences societal perspectives. This involves analyzing various forms of discourse, including literary texts, political speeches, and digital communications. - Ethos and Identity Construction:
A core focus is on the concept of ethos and how it relates to identity formation. The journal investigates the ways in which authors, speakers, and translators construct their identities through discourse and how these identities affect audience reception. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages interdisciplinary methodologies, integrating insights from linguistics, sociology, rhetoric, and cultural studies. This broadens the scope of discourse analysis, allowing for richer interpretations of texts and their contexts. - Cultural and Political Contexts:
Attention is given to the cultural and political dimensions of discourse, especially in relation to contemporary issues such as nationalism, feminism, and identity politics. The journal seeks to uncover how these contexts shape discursive practices. - Critical Examination of Power Dynamics:
The journal critically examines the power dynamics inherent in discourse, exploring how language can be used to both uphold and challenge authority, legitimacy, and social norms.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital and Social Media Discourse:
There is a noticeable increase in the examination of discourse within digital and social media contexts, particularly regarding influencers and public figures. This trend underscores the importance of understanding how discourse operates in online environments and influences public opinion. - Intersectionality in Discourse:
Emerging studies are increasingly addressing intersectionality, exploring how various identities (gender, race, class) intersect within discourse. This focus highlights the complexity of identity construction and the nuances of power dynamics in contemporary discussions. - Environmental Discourse:
The journal is placing greater emphasis on environmental discourse, particularly in relation to activism and public policy. This reflects a broader societal concern with climate change and sustainability, making it a relevant and urgent area of study. - Crisis Communication:
The analysis of discourse surrounding crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, is gaining traction. This theme examines how language shapes responses to crises and the construction of authority and legitimacy during such times. - Populism and Nationalism:
There is a growing interest in the discourse of populism and nationalism, particularly in political contexts. This trend reflects global political shifts and the need to understand the rhetorical strategies employed by populist movements.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Rhetorical Analysis:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on classical rhetorical analysis, which traditionally focused on the structures and techniques of persuasion. Recent publications lean more towards contemporary applications and real-world contexts of discourse. - Historical Discourse Studies:
Interest in historical discourse, particularly analysis of texts from earlier periods, is less prominent. The journal's focus has shifted towards contemporary issues and current events, which may overshadow historical perspectives. - Focus on Literary Canon:
The exploration of canonical literary texts is waning as the journal increasingly highlights diverse, contemporary voices and discourses. The shift reflects a broader trend in academia towards inclusivity and representation. - Static Definitions of Ethos:
The understanding of ethos as a static concept is less frequently explored. Instead, there is a growing interest in dynamic, context-specific constructions of identity and authority, indicating a shift in theoretical frameworks. - Narrowly Defined Contexts:
Studies that focus narrowly on specific texts or isolated contexts are becoming less common. The journal appears to favor broader, comparative analyses that consider multiple discourses and their interrelations.
