Conference

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.

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.

In today’s world, shaken by the effects of globalization, the aftermath of the financial crisis and widespread political corruption, people in many countries are reaching out for radical political solutions. In many parts of Europe, experts have perceived a growing mistrust of conventional politics: as the perceived gap between citizens and their representatives has widened, new political formations have arisen that promise to shake up the status quo and give more concrete expression to people’s real needs and desires.

General theme: Ideology, identity and interaction

We are pleased to announce that the third international conference Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines will take place 13-15 September 2010.

The legitimacy of international organizations seems more contested than ever today. Recent debates on the politicization of international organizations illustrate that IOs have increasingly become subject to critical public review. While the legitimacy of international governance has long been treated as a non-issue, IOs such as the EU or the G8 are now suffering a legitimacy crisis. This panel will explore how IOs attempt to deal with these legitimacy challenges.

The biannual Organizational Discourse Conference celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2012. In the past two decades ‘discourse analysis’ has firmly established itself as a topic of interest, an analytical perspective informing a variety of critical theoretical approaches, and a methodology for organizational research. A discursive approach has been widely adopted in a variety of subfields.

This symposium will be a space for the researchers, professors and students interested in the field to gather
and exchange theoretical and methodological proposals, and research results.
