"Conspiracy Theory Discourses addresses a crucial phenomenon in the current political and communicative context: conspiracy theories. The social impact of conspiracy theories is wide-ranging and their influence on the political life of many nations is increasing. Conspiracy Theory Discourses bridges an important gap by bringing discourse-based insights to existing knowledge about conspiracy theories, which has so far developed in research areas other than Linguistics and Discourse Studies. The chapters in this volume call attention to conspiracist discourses as deeply ingrained ways to interpret reality and construct social identities. They are based on multiple, partly overlapping analytical frameworks, including Critical Discourse Analysis, rhetoric, metaphor studies, multimodality, and corpus-based, quali-quantitative approaches. These approaches are an entry point to further explore the environments which enable the proliferation of conspiracy theory, and the paramount role of discourse in furthering conspiracist interpretations of reality"--

"Discourse in Foreign Policy" published on by Oxford University Press.

This thesis studies the discourse of the European Union about the European Judicial Network between 1996 and 1999. Using discourse analysis and lexicometrics within the theoretical framework of argumentative semantics, it explores the meaning of words associated with the expression of « area of freedom, security and justice ». The research mainly aims at understanding how the discourse reappropriate universal values in order to construct, through argumentative processes, a European identity that embodies the European Judicial Network. After presenting the political context and the linguistic theories used in the analysis methods, the thesis examines the conditions of discourse production and its semantic particularities. It argues that the discourse constructs an identity based on the values (liberty, security and justice) conveyed by the three pillars of the European Judicial Network : institutions, organised crime and citizens. The thesis then puts forward the idea of a "discursive normalisation" that helps, through its linguistic forms, to legitimate the identity construction and its political issues. It also defines a process of "argumentative manipulation" resulting from this "discursive normalisation" implementing a very distinctive linguistic frame. According to those results, the research concludes that normalisation and manipulation generate circularity of the discourse, which is based on the conflict between two discursive orientations, on the one hand security and on the other hand democracy and the Rule of law. ; La recherche menée dans cette thèse traite du discours de l'Union européenne sur l'espace judiciaire européen entre 1996 et 1999. En convoquant l'analyse du discours et la lexicométrie dans un cadre théorique de la sémantique argumentative, elle analyse le sens des mots autour de l'expression « espace de liberté, de sécurité et de justice ». L'objectif est de définir comment s'élabore la réappropriation de valeurs universelles au profit du discours et de l'identité européenne véhiculée par ...

Like Fernand Leger at the 1933 CIAM IV, I find myself invited to this conference as an interloper: not as a painter, but as an art historian among architects, to deliver, like Leger, a "Discours aux architectes". A few years ago I published a book that tried to present an overview of anti-modernism in France between the two world wars. My argument was —succinctly put–– that reactionary issues such as the return to the soil, anti-urbanism, the questioning of technology and their ideological corollaries— agrarianism, regionalism, Corporatism— had a profound impact not only on mainstream French culture but on French modernism in the aftermath of World War I. This was the country that although victorious had been destroyed was thus psychologically and historically most inclined to try to restore its patrimoine. The Great Depression had only intensified the French disenchantment with industrialization. The "rural" came to occupy a crucial place in the French imagination in the 1930s. All these tendencies, I argued, slid imperceptibly, into the Fascist ideology of Vichy. The one other European country that played a role in my account was Spain. Spain, I claimed, functioned for the French as a purer, benign, less-industrialized, alter-ego in the 1930s, and indeed in the "imaginaire" of both the political Left and Right. Spain was the antithesis to the overly industrialized and commodified society of the United States. ; El artículo retorna sobre el profundo impacto que produjeron los temas reaccionarios en la modernidad francesa tras la Primera Guerra Mundial. Para ello, considera el regionalismo en las permutaciones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y explica sus diferentes significados en Italia y Alemania como base interpretativa para el caso de España. Aplica la distinción entre el regionalismo, el parroquialismo y el provincialismo, considera su susceptibilidad a las condiciones de neo-, pseudo-, y faux-, y diferencia los conceptos de hibricidad y eclecticismo Beaux-Arts. Estas condiciones llevan a su fin la distancia de la obra de Le corbusier con el regionalismo en los años 30. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial lo vernacular reemplazó al regionalismo y Gran Bretaña emergió por su posición insular respecto a la vanguardia histórica europea, que por su antagonismo entre el romanticismo, nuevo humanismo, nuevo empirismo, nueva pintoresca y el abandono atropellado vernacular del nuevo brutalismo, consigue crear una ruptura con los años de entreguerras.
