Indeed\, in some memb er states of the European Union\, the propagation of a new European identi ty was accompanied by the emergence or re-emergence of fragmented and unst able national\, sometimes even nativist\, and ethnic identities. Seemingly established collective\, national identities became contested political t errain and the focus of political struggles. Moreover\, threats and crises of various kinds have re-invigorated discussions of national or cultural identities across Europe\, alongside the rise of various far-right and rig ht-wing populist parties and movements. In my lecture\, I illustrate the c onsiderations above with the help of a case study about the discursive con struction of Austrian national identities 1995-2015. First\, I will briefl y present my theoretical and methodological framework (the Discourse-Histo rical Approach in Critical Discourse Studies) and then provide an overview of the types of discourse and data analyzed\, including political speeche s\, commemorative events\, media\, group discussions as well as in-depth i nterviews. Covering crucial analytical categories\, I discuss our findings in comparison to data collected in 1995 and 2005 and conclude with a long itudinal perspective on the discursive construction of (Austrian) national identities.BiographyRuth Wodak is Emerita Distinguished Professor of Disc ourse Studies at Lancaster University\, UK\, and affiliated to the Univers ity of Vienna.
