It has been initiated by the speakers of the DVPW discourse research group, Christiane Barnickel, Elena Dück and Amelie Kutter.

The special issue “Discourses of Covid-19 and the reconfiguration of the political” to be published in the CADAAD Journal is a follow-up to the first edition of the Crisis Discourse Blog. It invites contributions that decipher what reconfigurations of the political have unfolded in and through the pandemic when looked at from a discourse perspective. It raises the question how debates on Covid-19 schallenged regimes of knowledge and shifted epistemic boundaries that used to constitute the political in our (democratic) societies. By focusing on ’the political‘, we aim to move beyond a mere understanding of ‘politics’ as procedures and processes of decision making and mine the specific contribution that discourse studies can make to the exploration of changing conceptions of the political.

We welcome contributions from different discourse theoretical approaches and different disciplines that are grounded in or connected to theoretical or empirical considerations on the political and its reconfiguration in and through crisis discourse. Individual papers might be inspired by – but are not restricted to – considerations of discourse and the political as elaborated by, e.g., Michel Foucault, Chantal Mouffe & Ernesto Laclau or Jacques Rancière.
