PhD course
Discourse Studies and Method: Using Discourse-Theoretical Analysis and
Discursive-Material Analysis
https://iksz.fsv.cuni.cz/en/phd-program/phd-course
at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
About the course
Course title: Discourse Studies and Method: Using Discourse-Theoretical
Analysis and Discursive-Material Analysis
Course coordinator and leader: Professor Nico Carpentier
Course credits: 5 credits
Course timing: The course will be organised on 10 February - 14 February
2020
Course location: Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
Course background and purpose
The course aims to discuss two methods in the field of discourse
studies: Discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) and Discursive-material
analysis (DMA). Both are grounded in so-called high theory, with
discourse theory as its main starting point, but with elements of actor
network theory and new materialism. This course will start with an
introduction to these theoretical models, but will then move on to their
analytical deployment in communication and media studies research.
Special attention will be spent on the creation of a theory-grounded
analytical model to guide the research. Apart from attending lectures,
participants will be expected to participate in both theoretical and
research-driven workshops.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this course successful students will be able to:
• have a deeper understanding of the field of discourse studies, and in
particular of its discourse-theoretical component
• have a deeper understanding of the theoretical relationship between
the discursive and the material -know how to translate
discourse-theoretical models into analytical practice, through the use
of the notion of the sensitizing concept (applied to discourse theory,
and to discourse-theoretical rereading of other theories) -be able to
set up an analytical model for a discourse-theoretical analysis and a
discursive-material analysis
Teaching and evaluation
The one-week course will be organised in 10 teaching slots, combining
lectures and workshops. These workshops are partially theoretical
(presenting an article or chapter), and partially research-driven
(presenting an analytical model).
A certificate (with a grade “Pass”) is given after 1) attendance of
minimally 8 meetings, 2) a working group theoretical presentation, 3) an
individual case study presentation.
Available participant slots and costs
A total number of 20 participant slots are available. The participation
fee is 50 Euro, and only covers course attendance. Participants are
required to pay themselves for their travel and accommodation costs, and
