Description
This doctoral research is rooted in Critical Discourse Studies and takes the link between time, temporality, and the COVID-19 pandemic as its starting point. It mainly focuses on the way time and discourse are intertwined in the decision-making process of the COVID-19 pandemic through political and scientific discourse. The aim of this research is therefore to study the evolution of discourses on time and temporality over time of the crisis as various experiences of time coexist in the discourses of implied actors and have implications on the power relationships at stake in this peculiar context.
The analysis of the corpus of political and scientific discourses is based on an analytical framework established in the Discourse-Historical Approach (e.g. Wodak, 2015) integrating the diachronic aspect of time and the way time is elaborated within discourse, allowing it to become meaningful, to represent and regulate social practices and at the same time to convey the subjective experience of actors.
