CRITICAL
DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
PROFESSOR RUTH WODAK
Hii guys I
will introduce you to my inspired professor, she is a professor of Critical
Discourse Analysis the name is Ruth Wodak. Ruth is Emerita Distinguished
Professor at Lancaster University. She is also affiliated to the University of
Vienna where she is currently PI of a 3-year research project on the
"Discursive Construction of National Identity - Austria 2015" (see https://medienportal.univie.ac.at/en/uniview/forschung/detailansicht/artikel/wie-oesterreicherinnen-gemacht-werden/;http://pf.fwf.ac.at/de/wissenschaft-konkret/projectfinder/33284).
She is also continuing to supervise 6 PhD students at Lancaster University, one
PhD student at Leipzig University, and one PhD student at University Vienna.
She
participates in the LIP group (Language, Ideology, and Power) which meets every week
during term time, and is also affiliated to CPERC (Cultural Political Economy Research Centre)
and DoM (Dynamics of Memory Cluster) at Lancaster
University.
Current Research
Ruth's main
research agenda focus the development of theoretical approaches in discourse
studies (combining ethnography, argumentation theory, rhetoric, and text
linguistics); organizational communication; identity politics and politics of
the past; language and/in politics; racism, prejudice and discrimination.
Combining several fields in discourse studies, she continues to develop the Discourse-Historical
Approach in CDA, an interdisciplinary, problem-oriented approach which
analyses the changes of discursive practices over time and in various genres.
Her monograph
entitled The Politics of Fear - What Right-Wing Populist Discourses Mean
(Sage, 2015) has just been published (https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/the-politics-of-fear/book237802).
In it, she focusses on the discourse, rhetoric, performance and argumentation
of populist right-wing politicians across Europe (compared with the
“tea-party/ies” movement in the US) on the front- and back-stage. Specifically,
she elaborates on the (inter)dependencies between politics and the media in
several case studies. The recontextualisation and glocalisation of images and
posters across several European right-wing political parties also form a
relevant focus of this book. Click here for an interview
with Ruth about the rise of right-wing populist politics in Europe.
Currently, she is also preparing the Handbook of Discourse and Politics
(with Bernhardt Forchtner, Routledge) and a new edition of Methods of
Critical Discourse Analysis (with Michael Meyer, Sage, to be published in
October 2015).
Moreover,
Ruth's research projects, apart from the study on national identity politics
mentioned above, include a study on Language change in Austrian German
(from 1970 - 2010), while exploring several genres in various social fields
(with Markus Rheindorf, Vienna). Moreover, Ruth participates in an
interdisciplinary team of historians/journalists, psychiatrists and linguists
which is investigating the discursive and psychological dynamics of a unique
network consisting of children of Holocaust survivors and resistance fighters
in Vienna (Kinderjause - Zur Geschichte einer marginalisierten Gruppe;
'Childrens' party - the history of a marginalised peer group) (http://www.univie.ac.at/kijauprojekt/).
In 2012, Ruth
edited Critical Discourse Analysis (Sage), four comprehensive volumes (readers)
on CDA, and Advances in Critical Discourse Studies (with John
Richardson, Michal Krzyzanowski, and David Machin; Routledge). In 2013, she
co-edited two volumes about right-wing populist discourse, Analysing
European Fascism: Fascism in Text and Talk (co-edited with John
Richardson; Routledge), and Rightwing Populism across Europe: Discourse and
Politics (co-edited with Majid KhosraviNik and Brigitte Mral; Bloomsbury).
Three articles related to the latter volume were also published on Opendemocracy. Ruth’s other more
recent monograph The discourse of politics in action: politics as usual,
was published in June 2011 in paperback (second revised edition, with
Palgrave). The co-edited book Migration, Identity and Belonging (with
Gerard Delanty and Paul Jones) was also published as paperback in March 2011
(Liverpool University Press). In 2010, Ruth edited a new comprehensive Handbook of Sociolinguistics (with
Paul Kerswill and Barbara Johnstone, Sage) which was published as paperback
2013.
Current Teaching
Ruth is
currently supervising 8 PhD students in the areas of Identity Politics,
Language Policy Studies, Political Communication, Comics and Discrimination,
and Media Studies. While in Lancaster, she has supervised 17 PhD students to
completion (since 2004). As she is retired now, she is not accepting any new
PhD students.

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has become a well-established field in
the social sciences. However, in contrast with some branches of linguistics,
CDA is not a discrete academic discipline in the traditional sense, with a
fixed set of research methods.
The manifold roots of CDA lie in a myriad of disciplines including
rhetoric, anthropology, philosophy and cognitive science, to name a few. This
four-volume set brings together seminal articles on the subject from varied
sources, creating an invaluable roadmap for scholars seeking to consolidate
their knowledge of CDA, and of its continued development. Sculpted and edited
by a leading voice in the field, this work covers the interdisciplinary roots,
the most important approaches and methodologies of CDA, as well as applications
in other disciplines in an updated and comprehensive way.
