Présentation des thèmes de recherche

Jan Zienkowski has a long-standing research interest in the transdisciplinary field of discourse studies. He published 'Articulations of self and politics in activist discourse' (Zienkowski 2017) and co-edited 'Imagining the peoples of Europe' (Zienkowski and Breeze 2019).

His books and articles focus on issues of reflexivity, critique, discourse, politics and metapolitics and propaganda, ideology and hegemony as articulated in large-scale debates on migration, populism and neoliberalism. Recently he took an interest in the metapolitical dimension of debates within and about civil society organisations in European democracies.

Jan Zienkowski aims to re-articulate linguistic pragmatic, critical and poststructuralist approaches to signification in order to understand how human beings deal with hegemony with varying degrees of awareness. He has a background in communication sciences, international relations and linguistics.

He is an associate researcher of Engage: Research Centre for Publicness in Contemporary Communication at the Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles. He is also an associated researcher of the ILC (Institut Langage et Communication / UCLouvain) / Social Media Lab.

Jan Zienkowski has organised various DiscourseNet events and is a member of the DiscourseNet Board. He is a member of DESIRE (Centre for Democracy, Signification and Resistance).
