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.

Objectives

The objective of this symposium is to strengthen communication and cooperation between scholars who deal with discourse analysis from different perspectives and epistemic fields. As with all editions of the EDiSo community symposia, this 7th edition also seeks to exchange knowledge and experiences on the most recent advances in the field of discourse studies and to create synergies from the different areas working on discourse.

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.

Jone Miren Hernández García

UPV/EHU

I graduated in Social Sciences and Communication (UPV/EHU) in the early 1990s, a time that coincided with my journey toward becoming fluent in Basque. This period marked the beginning of my research into various phenomena related to language. A milestone in this three-decade trajectory was completing my doctoral thesis under the supervision of Teresa Del Valle, whose mentorship steered my interests toward the anthropology and ethnography of language, and strengthened my commitment to feminist theory and methodology. Language(s) and feminism(s) are the two core pillars of my research and teaching practice, applied across diverse areas of study. Among the most recent are the analysis of bertsolarism (the Basque tradition of improvised poetry) and work with young Basque speakers - the latter in collaboration with Jaime Altuna Ramirez. Additionally, since 2020, I have been involved in the EquiLing project, which aims at developing critical sociolinguistics. Although I have published in Spanish and English, I consider myself part of a “situated” scientific community that produces knowledge in Basque.
