The special theme of this edition is:
Narrative pragmatics: Culture, cognition, context.
But as always, the conference is open to ALL OTHER PRAGMATICS-RELATED TOPICS as well (where pragmatics is conceived broadly as a cognitive, social, and cultural perspective on language and communication).
Keynote speakers:
- Nicholas Johnson, former FCC Commissioner and Visiting Faculty, University of Iowa College of Law
- Des Freedman, Reader in Communications and Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths University of London
The Carsey-Wolf Center’s Media Industries Project [MIP] announces a call for participants in the Dirty, Sexy Policy Conference at UC Santa Barbara.
The goal of the joint conference is to promote both theoretical and
applied research in pragmatics, and bring together scholars who are
interested in different subfields of pragmatics (philosophical,
linguistic, cognitive, social, intercultural, interlanguage, etc.).
Three main topics of the conference are as follows:
Conference Panels:
• The Embodied Discourses: Discursive Positioning in Narrations
• Materialities and Boundaries of Discourse
• Counter-Discourses and Cooptation
• Governmentality and Poverty: On the Intricate Relation between Discourses on Economics, Identities, and the Government of the Self
