Editorial: Critical Perspectives on Ideology, Identity, and Interaction

Abstract

Interest in „language as social practice‟ and in the „context of its use‟ (Fairclough and Wodak 1997), which has been the defining feature of various frameworks and studies within the Critical Discourse Analysis programme, has generated continuous attempts to identify, analyse and describe various aspects and dimensions of the dialectics between discursive events and social structures, situations and institutions. One can get the idea of the scale of these attempts looking at the number of publications, conferences, and projects devoted to the discourse and society interface, aiming to address the complexity of the socially constituted nature of discourse and its socially constitutive function and to demonstrate how it both reflects and shapes (sustains, reproduces or transforms) social actions and relations, (self)identification of social actors and representations of the world. Critical research published regularly in Discourse, Dialogue and Discourse, Discourse and Society, Discourse and Communication, Journal of Language and Politics, Visual Semiotics, Critical Discourse Studies, CADAAD Journal, to name but a few discourse-cantered journals, brings forth new insights, perspectives and approaches to both old and emerging problems within theory, methodology and data analysed.
