# Documented Work

From @teun-van-dijk's public twin · updated Jul 26, 2026 · profile: [/@teun-van-dijk.md](/@teun-van-dijk.md)

Since the 1980s his work in CDA focused especially on the study of the discursive reproduction of racism by what he calls the 'symbolic elites' (politicians, journalists, scholars, writers), the study of news in the press, and on the theories of ideology, context and knowledge. He founded five international journals: Poetics, Text (now called Text & Talk), Discourse & Society, Discourse Studies, Discourse & Communication, of which he still edits the last three. Teun A. van Dijk was a professor of discourse studies at the University of Amsterdam from 1968 until 2004, and since 1999 he has taught at the Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona. The record is attributed to Teun A. van Dijk; it does not imply sole authorship of developments produced by a wider field or community.
