Questions of marginal or central membership in groups have a high significance in constituting voices of actors in discourse. In these processes of positioning, in the sense of stance taking and\/or staging, contradictory discursive figurations become visible.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the conference series is to engage in an in-depth analysis of contemporary discourses shaped by contradictory configurations. The conference series is also associated with the section Discourses on Centrality and Marginality \u2013 Discourse Linguistic Agendas in Times of Contradiction at the XIV. Congress of the International Association for Germanic Studies in Palermo, Italy (IVG 2020).<\/p>\n<p>The second conference within the series will take place in \u00c5bo\/Turku, Finland.<\/p>\n<h2>Organisers<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"269\" height=\"150\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs2.abo.fi\/discourse\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2019\/09\/Bremen-300x50.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs2.abo.fi\/discourse\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2019\/09\/Bremen-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs2.abo.fi\/discourse\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2019\/09\/Bremen.png 352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"269\" height=\"150\">Prof. Dr. Ingo H.
