Approaches to Digital Discourse Analysis 4 (ADDA 4)

ADDA 4 - Contemporary Societies in Digital Discourse

The 4th Approaches to Digital Discourse Analysis Conference (ADDA 4) will be held at the campus of the University of Klagenfurt (Austria). 

The theme of this ADDA conference is "Contemporary Societies in Digital Discourses". The focus lies on identities in digital discourses in light of individualization, singularization, but also (anti-)globalization, interconnectedness, social changes, tensions, and crises.

ADDA aims to bring together (early career and experienced) researchers interested in the analysis of digital discourse(s) from different disciplines, approaches, and traditions. Thus, it seeks to foster state-of-the-art debates and discussions on this burgeoning field of research and to provide opportunities for inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary research and critical reflection.
