Conference

Globalization, post-9/11 politics and the post-2008 financial crisis have all birthed modes and histories of opposition and dissent, be they dissent from global political-economic systems or opposition to ranges of international authoritarian regimes. Contemporary dissent, however, oft-draws from forms and imaginations of earlier modes of protest, be they student protests from the late ‘60s onward, the peace movement in the same period, the anti-nukes movement of the 1980s or the anti-Apartheid movement spanning the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

This section will focus on interactions between the modalities of semiosis, which have recently become a topic of interest in sociosemiotics (Kress 2010), film studies (Bate-man/Schmidt 2011), and the general analysis of multimodal documents (Bateman 2008, Jewitt 2009).

We invite submissions for extended abstracts for a thematic panel, “Removing the Mask: Decoloniality in the 21st Century,” to be held during the annual meetings of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) in Chicago on August 21-23, 2015. This year, the conference theme is Removing the Mask, Lifting the Veil: Race, Class, and Gender in the 21st Century.

The last decade has witnessed a profound change in the interdisciplinary field of memory studies. Instead of analysing representations of memory in different media, researchers are increasingly paying attention to memory practices, i.e. how people in various sites and contexts negotiate the meanings they ascribe to the past.

Congress Theme

Language Evolving

As applied linguistics matures as an academic field, the range and variety of areas of interest are expanding rapidly, perhaps to the extent that the field is in danger of becoming fragmented. Research provides a common language for applied linguists from different sub-fields, with research approaches and research issues applicable to all applied linguists irrespective of their specific field of interest. With this awareness, this Conference was initiated under collaboration between Macquarie University and the School of Liberal Arts, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi.
