Conference

BreMM17 is the third in a series of conferences dedicated to bringing together different disciplinary and methodological approaches to the study of multimodality in various academic contexts. More than ever, multimodality is one of the most influential semiotic theories for analyzing media artifacts, and it enjoys growing global popularity. However, this popularity does not imply universality: the conceptual anchoring of multimodality as well as its empirical applications often remain nationally and regionally grounded.

The Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, Ministry of Education and Culture, Cyprus, in collaboration with the University of Cyprus, announce the 2nd International Scientific Conference on “Literacy and Contemporary Society”, titled:

ABSTRACTS TO
http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/CCPII 2011 (see call for paper below)

This panel will examine how conflict characterizes modernity and post modernity, and how the response to crisis often takes a militarized tone. Even within literary discourse, the division resulting from Gender is one which suggests combat.

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE

1) To bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the globe to contribute to a stimulating and rewarding exchange of ideas and techniques regarding discourse studies;

2) To enhance cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and research innovation in discourse studies;

3) To facilitate the formation of collaborative research networks among conference participants.

THEMES OF THE CONFERENCE

Cultural reflexivity and innovation in discourse studies

Organized by Babylon, Center for the Study of Superdiversity and the Network on Globalization in the Margins

Following up on a very successful workshop in June 2012, Babylon organizes a sequel workshop addressing new forms of authenticity in an age of globalization and superdiversity. The central argument in the workshop is that forms of authenticity today need to be understood in terms of complexity rather than multiplicity, and thus demand a new and creative framework for addressing them.

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
