Conference

The world is ever ‘on the move’. The opportunities and challenges of both real and virtual travel are very much at the heart of the emergent interdisciplinary field of ‘mobilities’, which deals with the movement of peoples, objects, capital, information and cultures across an increasingly globalised and apparently borderless world. In the practices, processes and performances of moving – whether for voluntary leisure, forced migration or economic pragmatism – we are faced with the negotiation and re-negotiation of identities and meaning relating to places and pasts.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the panel (P04) "Agency and Strategy in Discursive Policy Analysis" at the 10th Interpretive Policy Analysis Conference (IPA), July 8-10, 2015 in Lille, France

The call is now open and paper proposals can be submitted through the conference website (http://ipa2015.sciencesconf.org ) until February 3, 2015.

Chairs and discussants: Georg Winkel & Sina Leipold (University of Freiburg)

Background and Project Description:
Over the past few decades, following a more general trend towards social rationalization, a growing Verwissenschaftlichung (“scientization”) of politics can be observed – that is, the ways in which science and quantitative measures increasingly come to define and shape politics. Today, empirics and evidence almost always accompany policy making, and quantification and the use of statistics have become increasingly central to the practice of contemporary politics.

This 8th edition of the NDLP conference series aims to respond to a surge of new research in pragmatics, with a view to bringing together the novel, empirically, experimentally and clinically based models, and classical topics/frameworks such as Gricean pragmatics, Speech Act Theory and presupposition. We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics boundary, which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and the traditional frameworks.
