Discourses in/of Disruption (Diskurs – interdisziplinär 12)

Abstract

Discursive orders are particularly evident where they are disrupted or show breaks. This volume is dedicated to the concept of disruption from a discourse-analytical perspective, which focuses on both the continuities and regularities as well as the unpredictability and contradictoriness of discursive events. The analysis of (attributions of) disruptions makes it possible to grasp the reciprocal constitution of social and epistemic orders in a pointed manner. The contributions in this volume deal with disruptive aspects of discursive orders as well as discursive negotiations of disruptive events and dynamics using the example of different epochs and social domains and illustrate the great potential of discourse-analytically oriented disruption research.

Complete volume, edited by Simon Meier-Vieracker, Silvia Bonacchi, Hanna Acke, Mark Dang-Anh and Ingo H. Warnke
