DeXus is the name given to the Discourse Nexus
alternative summer school for discourse studies to be held yearly in the
Centre for Discourse Studies at Aalborg University. DeXus, which took place
very successfully for the first time in August 2003. The code
4.0 signifies
the fourth version, the fourth actualisation, with progressively refined
versions to come. DeXus will
focus on innovative research in discourse studies and its application
to a variety of settings and data sets, using a mix of lectures,
workshops, group
work and discussion sessions.
| Aalborg University,
founded in 1974, has successfully established a progressive
pedagogical model as the foundation for its curriculum across all
Faculties. Every semester, students at Aalborg form groups and take
relevant courses in order to independently solve a problem they
themselves have formulated based on their studies. They are
officially appointed a vejleder -- a ‘path leader’
or 'wayfinder' -- whose job it is to guide the students to a
successful solution to their ‘problem’ over the course of the
semester. In conclusion, students write a project report and are
assessed on their work in a group discussion/oral exam at the end
of the semester.
DeXus draws upon this tradition to
experiment with a problem-based, project-centred research summer
school for postgraduates and scholars in the field of discourse
studies. The core concept is the free play of ideas within the
thematic context of group-derived problems and reflexive project
work developed during the six fruitful days of DeXus —
Dissective, Dissensual, Dextrous and Delectable! |
The
goal of DeXus is to create a space in which attendees — invited
guests, students, postgrads and established scholars — can discuss the latest
moves in discourse studies, apply approaches in discourse studies to
‘real world’ problems, learn hands-on in a positive environment and
find new relays between academic work and social change.
We have invited a number of
guests to play the role of ‘wayfinders’ or 'midwives'. Their job is to provide
a range of resources for learning: to give lectures, to hold workshops,
to promote discussion and reflection, to clarify
methods, and to illustrate analysis.
Following the first two days of
keynote lectures and workshops by the invited
guests, which will establish a common framework, group project
work will begin.
The titles and abstracts for the lectures and
workshops are now online!
Each
project group will work on a set of problems that are to be
decided by the groups themselves, which may or may not be derived from
the lectures and workshops on the first two days. Furthermore, the wayfinders are assigned to work with a specific thematic group on each of
days
3 and 5. We trust that the pairings of wayfinders from
different disciplinary backgrounds generates novel ideas and
fruitful challenges that benefit the problem-based learning. Day 4 is
either a free day or a working day for the participants. Optional
activities for the guests and participants will be arranged. On the
last day, all groups come together to report on their findings,
solutions and applications, with commentary and discussion from the wayfinders.

The poster session on the first day
is for those who wish to present their research publicly.
The summer school is international and open to all
scholars, researchers and
PhD students. Student
helpers from our own programmes will be taking part to assist
participants.

DeXus will interest students and scholars
who work in the diverse fields of discourse studies, particularly
mediated discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, interactional
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, multimodal discourse
analysis, educational discourse analysis, narrative inquiry, discursive
psychology, political discourse analysis, social semiotics, practice
theory, and language and gender studies.
In relation to theorising and
analysing discourse, DeXus themes this year include:
 | Narrative/Memory/Experience/Autobiography |
 | Mediation/Modality/Action/Practice |
 | Belonging/Citizenship/Linking/Relationality |
 | Identity/Gender/Sexuality/'Race'/Ethnicity/Kinship |
 | Habitus/Embodiment/Mediational
Means/Context |
 | Change/Intervention/Critique |
 
Wireless LAN facilities are offered
on campus during DeXus. Bring your laptop computer with an installed wireless 802.11b
or g Wi-Fi card (or MAC Airport), and you can be mobile and surf the web,
read email, take part in web chat, and so on. We integrate Wi-Fi
into the DeXus group work by using open source social software (such as
wikis, blogs and Skype), which enables us to chat, share files and
collaborate on discussion topics before, during and after DeXus. Internet-connected PCs will be
available in each room, and extra laptops will be available for groups
to use. Multimedia equipment, such as digital video cameras,
microphones, video players, projectors and televisions, will also be
available for use.

For more academic information, contact Paul
McIlvenny or Pirkko Raudaskoski.

Invited Guests

Michael
Bamberg is Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark
University, USA
Dr. Bamberg's research is in the area of Language,
Talk, and Interaction with an emphasis on how Narratives ("Small Stories")
are embedded in conversations and employed as general sense-making and
identity-building strategies. His current research projects are in the
areas of adolescent and gendered identities in 10-15-year-old males.
Another, though closely related issue is the role of emotions, values
and morality in how people construct their selfhood and identity. In
addition to Qualitative Methods and courses in his research areas he
teaches a long-distance course in the Diploma Program in 'Discursive
Therapies'.
He is editor of the international journal Narrative
Inquiry and book series editor of
Studies in Narrative (John Benjamins).

Currently, Sigrid Norris
teaches in the Program of Communication, Culture and Technology at
Georgetown University. Her research interests include theoretical and
methodological foundations of multimodal discourse analysis, the
analysis of multiparty interaction, multimodal transcription, and the
analysis of multimodal personal identity construction. Her work largely
grew out of Scollon’s Mediated Discourse Analysis, Gumperz’ and Tannen’s
Interactional Sociolinguistics, the work of Goffman, and Kress and Van
Leeuwen’s approach to multimodality.
