Theme: Towards Sustainable Peace, Security and Development in Nigeria

Over the past decade, the rise of populist democracies in South America has taken place against a backdrop of growing corporate media opposition. The legitimacy of the governments of Bolivia, Venezuela, Argentina, Ecuador, and to a certain extent, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay has been questioned most harshly, not by elected oppositional political parties, but by media conglomerates acting as de facto powers.

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce that the 5th international conference in the 360o series will be held in Aarhus, Denmark May 8th –May 10th 2014. The conference features three key note addresses:

Professor Theo van Leeuwen
Professor Carey Jewitt
Professor David Machin.

In this two-day conference we would like to address culture and intercultural communication from a micro-perspective. Commonly the linguistic study of intercultural communication is concerned with analysing miscommunication between speakers from two or more different ‘cultures’, defined predominantly as large-scale nation and language communities.

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 15 FEBRUARY 2015
