A topic of controversial debate today, “discourse & culture” points to fundamental questions in contemporary society such as the role of mass media in the construction and transformation of reality, the interrela-tionships between high and mass culture, or the interpellations of sub-jects in their communities. Discourse is seen as a set of enacted process-es that establish, protect, or change conventions and thus reassemble the wide area of both the material and immaterial environment. Therefore, the question of how discourse affects culture through a long chain of mediated actions and reactions stands at the focal point of many dis-course researchers. The main aim of the DN15 conference is to open an interdisciplinary dialogue concerning discourse and culture. Contribu-tors are invited to make (sub-)culture(s) a central concern within dis-course studies or to explore discursive phenomena in terms of culture. DN15 welcomes critical reflection upon the discursive and cultural as-pects of meaning, identity, and communication.

This conference welcomes new methodological and theoretical ap-proaches dealing with the nexus of discourse and culture. Contributors are invited to focus on inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in media studies and digital humanities, sociology, political studies, linguistics, lit-erary criticism, and cultural studies. The meeting also presents the op-portunity to join the DiscourseNet network and to develop new projects and cooperations. The working language is English, all contributions will be recorded (with the consent of the presenters), and a publication is planned.

Conference participants are also invited to take part in the planning meeting of DiscourseNet which will take place on the Saturday, at the end of the conference. All those who wish to become members, propose new ideas, or talk about collaborative perspectives for the discourse re-search network are most welcome. Please send an email to the organiz-ers if you want to join this meeting.

The event is free, but a small contribution for coffee etc. may be charged. Travel assistance may be available for a limited number of participants who are in need of financial support (please justify). The deadline for conference paper proposals (with name, title, a half-page abstract and a short cv) is 1st January 2015. Please contact the organizers via dis-coursenet15@ubsm.rs or dn15@ubsm.rs, and visit the conference webpage at dn15.unilib.rs or dn15.ubsm.rs.
