Workers' Mobility: Linguistic Representations of European Institutions and Citizens

This work focuses on the communication strategies implemented by the European Commission in the aftermath of the referendum failures in France and the Netherlands (2005). Following a critical and interdisciplinary approach to discourse analysis, the work frames the strategy in its political context and then tries to investigate the micro-textual variables that subsume the attempt to restructure participants’ identities (institutions, European workers and social players), their roles and functions.
