This is the second call for abstracts for papers and posters for the 2012 conference Explorations in Ethnography, Language and Communication. The theme of the conference is ‘Analysis and Impact in Linguistic Ethnography’. We invite contributions from across disciplines and topics such as research on health, education, culture and identity. Abstracts should provide a clear focus on what kinds of results can be achieved with an ethnographic approach to linguistic and communicative data. How do we interpret our data? How do our analyses add to wider knowledge of our target disciplines?

The 7th Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS-2014) will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, which has been awarded as one among Top 7 Intelligent Communities in 2013. Estonia is often called "e-Estonia" to describe Estonia's emergence as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world and Estonians have the privilege to enjoy a large range of e-solutions and services. Since Estonia is willing to be the example for others who wish to follow the same path, the theme of "knowledge-based services" is selected as the overall theme of KCWS-2014.
i-mean 4@ Warwick: Language and Impact

Abstract Submission Deadline: 31st JAN
University of Warwick
Content
The i-mean 4 conference will address the relationship between language and impact:
The session will discuss empirical research on discourses and regimes of power/knowledge in different social areas, using the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD). This perspective on discourses and their analysis draws on Foucault, Berger and Luckmann and the interpretative paradigm of sociology including symbolic interactionism and "communicative constructivism". In comparison to the Foucauldian tradition, SKAD focuses more on social actors and societal arenas of discursive disputes.
