  Advances in research into disabilities in the humanities and social sciences

  La conférence vise à offrir une perspective internationale et multidisciplinaire de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales sur le handicap dans sa diversité, du point de vue de ses dimensions socio-historiques et politiques autant que des expériences subjectives des acteurs concernés (les personnes handicapées elles-mêmes et leur entourage, les professionnels du domaine du handicap ainsi que d’autres acteurs sociaux et politiques impliqués). Considérer le handicap comme une catégorie d’analyse est également susceptible d’apporter un éclairage sur les modes d’organisation des sociétés contemporaines.

  Les discours politiques dans les pays de langues romanes

  Nouvelles perspectives au carrefour des sciences du langage et des sciences sociales

  Political discourse is omnipresent in our societies since we have access to a never-ending stream of political messages through media, messages about how the outside world is governed or should be governed. Politics is basically about ideas, ideologies, visions, and arguments, conveyed by language, with which it is closely connected. It is difficult to study one aspect without taking the other into account. In other words, the different approaches (linguistics, discourse analysis, history, political and social sciences) are complementary to each other, as the starting point of analysis is different. Whereas linguistic and discourse analytical approaches have as starting point concrete textual elements and discourse practices (micro-level analyses), the political and social science approach often takes as its starting point society at a macro-structural level. Thus, while the latter gives a picture of general tendencies, the former highlights the practices of individual politicians and political parties.
