The project on Racism
and Discourse is an ongoing, long-term project that has been active
since 1981, when I started to investigate the role of the Dutch media
in the reproduction of racism. Since then, many other sub-projects have
been carried out, for instance on everyday conversations and
storytelling about immigrants (in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and San
Diego, California), the representation of immigrants and Third World
peoples in (Dutch) social science textbooks, the discourses of
politicians, both in Europe and the USA, on immigration (a project
carried out by a team led by Ruth Wodak and myself), as well as the
discourses of business managers. Racism and the media has been a
permanent concern of this project. One of the major findings of these
projects was about the prominent role of the "symbolic elites" in the
(pre) formulation of racism in society. The last years the project has
focused on the same topics in Spain and Latin America. Results of all
these projects have been published in a large number of books and
articles (see below). It is also this project that has ongoingly been
the inspiration for my more general motivation to engage
in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) - which I now prefer to
call CDS - as well as my study of ideology and related topics.
