Description

Welcome to the 7th edition of the Symposia of the Asociación de Estudios del Discurso y Sociedad (EDiSo), which this time is organized around the theme “Transversalities, intersections, and peripheries. Methodological approaches in discourse and society studies in the 21st century”. The symposium will take place on 2-4 July 2025 at the University of the Basque Country (in Bilbao, Bizkaia Aretoa), Spain. This is the first time that this meeting is organized in the Basque Country and we are very excited about it. In this seventh edition we seek to offer a platform to interact with the different methods that are currently being used to study the relationships between discourse and society: mixed methods, multimodal methods, computational and experimental methods, new ethnographic and creative methods, among many others. The meeting will be in person.

Methodology

The EDiSo 2025 symposium will include plenary sessions, papers, workshops and a round table. EDiSo's language policy is multilingual with the aim of promoting linguistic inclusion and equality. The languages of the symposium are Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician and Portuguese, as well as English. Each speaker speaks in the language of their choice, ensuring, through the use of visual (e.g. PPT) and audio (e.g. simultaneous interpretation) resources, that their speech reaches the audience. This methodology has already been successfully tested in the different editions of the EDiSo symposium. The symposium mode is offline with the possibility of streaming for the plenary sessions and the round table.
