>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. This year it will take place for the first
>time in August 2003. The code 1.0 signifies version 1.0, the first
>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, group work and
>discussion sessions.
>
>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. The exact format
>and thematics of DeXus has not yet been finalised, but there are some
>features that are essential. We have invited a number of guests to play
>the role of 'wayfinders' or 'midwives'. Their job is to provide different
>resources for learning: to promote discussion, to clarify methods, and to
>illustrate analysis.
>
>Following the first day of lectures by the invited guests, which will
>establish a common ground work, we concentrate over the following three
>days on two or three themes around which the group work will cluster. On
>the last day, all groups will come together to report on their findings,
>solutions and applications, with commentary and discussion from the
>wayfinders. A poster session will take place during the first day for
>those who wish to present their research publicly. More details on the
>DeXus web site.
>
>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, organisational discourse
>analysis, social semiotics, practice theory, gender and discourse, and
>workplace studies.
>
>DeXus themes include:
> - Movement/Mobility/Flow/Scale
> - Structure/Ordering/Organisation
> - Change/Intervention/Critique
> - Interaction/Technology/Artefact
> - Nature/Environment/Habitus
> - Belonging/Citizenship/Linking/Relationality

>Note: DeXus draws upon the progressive pedagogical model at Aalborg
>University 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!
