S5 Episode 6: Jewish co-resistance to colonial disinformation

In this episode, we speak with Awni Etaywe from Charles Darwin University in Australia about his upcoming publication, 'A CDA/PDA of Jewish Co-Resistance to Colonial Disinformation'. We discuss how disinformation in colonial contexts operates as epistemic and symbolic violence and discuss how Jewish organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace, Breaking the Silence, and the Jewish Council of Australia construct counter-narratives to challenge dominant Zionist framings of the Palestinian struggle. Dr. Etaywe explains his analysis of how alternative Jewish movements are leveraging discourse to foster trans-communal communities of trust and pro-Palestinian moral bonds, and explores the use of linguistic mechanisms such as evaluative couplings and morally charged language to resist colonial disinformation and reframe moral understanding.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:24 Overview of the Article02:15 Origins and Objectives of the Article03:43 Jewish Movements and Colonial Framing04:18 Disinformation and Moral Orders11:24 Evaluative Couplings and Bond Clusters23:36 Counter Framing and Activist Discourse54:24 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsWe’ll add a link to the article here when it has been publishedIn-person workshop: How to use CDA in your research projectLanguage & Power Podcast WebpageDiscourse Academy Webpage
