Abstract

ABSTRACTScholars in transnationalism studies, a diverse and dynamic research field, emphasise the need for transdisciplinarity and diversification of empirical areas and issues, in order to cast light on the particularities of transnational practices, agency and emerging power relations. Starting from the premise that discourse is constitutive of transnational social fields, the articles in this special issue propose the integration of discourse analysis into the study of transnational processes and the exploration of public and semi-public discourses in a variety of specific contexts. They identify multiple symbolic positionings and discursive strategies, such as instrumentalisation, legitimation, reification, bringing to attention the complexity of practices and power relations through which transnational social fields are (re)produced.
