'Framing Analysis of the 2016 Taiwan Presidential Election Campaign'
On 20 May 2021, Lutgard Lams gave an (online) lecture at the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies of the Department of Chinese Studies, at the University of Zurich. She focused on framing strategies, used by the main contenders in the 2016 Taiwan presidential campaign. Besides outlining major campaign themes and observing how the candidates frame the Self and the Other, the talk also pointed out discursive complexities or ambiguities concerning cross-Strait relations. Since presidential elections provide the perfect arena to either disambiguate or obfuscate positions in this matter, she probed into the use of certain terms and set phrases, such as ‘1992 consensus’, ‘status-quo’ in the 2016 presidential campaign.

BCCDS Outreach: Lectures (2018)
On 29 May 2018, the Department of Informatics and Media of Uppsala University (Sweden) hosted a ’higher seminar’ by dr. Lutgard Lams, entitled “Examining strategic narratives in the Chinese official discourse under Xi Jinping's rule”. Lutgard Lams presented her study about the ways China has, in recent years, used its soft power to spread the ’China story’ internationally and how its strategic narratives differ depending on the targeted audience, either international or domestic or both. She also looked into divergences/convergences with the political discourse of previous generations of leadership by examining argumentation patterns and discursive strategies used in speeches and texts produced by top-level officials and their ‘core’ leader, Xi Jinping. The focus lay on Xi Jinping’s hallmark slogans, such as ‘the China dream’, the ‘new normal’ and the ‘Four Comprehensives’.
The presentation was followed up with an interesting discussion on how these ideas are spread through the Chinese and foreign media.
