Institute of Culture, Discourse and Communication
Situated in the Faculty of Applied Humanities, the Institute of Culture, Discourse and Communication (ICDC) is grounded in collaborative, trans-disciplinary research projects.
The Institute engages with contemporary cultural issues, while analysing the social, economic and political discourses and communicative practices that shape meaning around these.
Recent research projects
In recent years, work at the Institute has focused on the key concerns of culture, discourse and communication. Scholars from various disciplines have come together on projects spanning language use, media such as the internet and television, and national identity.Specific projects Include:
- Research on the animated series bro’Town
- PhD investigations into the online world Second Life
- Online discourses of national identity and partnership in an international collaborative survey with the World Internet Project.
These initiatives have included an unpacking of the discursive constructions of culture and identity in New Zealand and globally, to highlight the dialectic between micro-level, interpersonal interactions and broader, global dynamics.
