The politics of remembering and forgetting are important social and cultural issues. The authority, power and resources with which to create hegemonic versions of the past – to give authoritative accounts that are available in the public domain – are largely the property of institutions. Questions of power, voice, representation and identity are central to Cultural and Collective Memory.
Conference Keynote: Lisa Blackman, Professor in Media and Communications, Goldsmiths

Narratives are present in all societies. They are present in myths, legends, news, rumors, in historical and artistic texts, in politics, in everyday conversation. Stories are able to construct reality. As Roland Barthes suggested (1966) the most important issue is to describe the code by which the narrator and the reader are signified in a narrative. In this sense, an author is not the one who invents a narrative but the one who possesses best the code used by the participants.
Call for papers:
CLS10 will be hosted by the Centre for Language and Communication Research (CLCR) at Cardiff University, Wales. CLCR works at the interface of theoretical and applied research in the domains of identity and culture, linguistic knowledge, and professional and public discourse.
Organizations 2.0, whether we talk about companies, political parties, national public institutions or European institutions, should, on the one hand, allow a collaborative construction of knowledge where citizens/consumers/ clients are significant prosumers of information and, on the other hand, select those online instruments which allow not only informing, but participating, sharing, mobilizing and interactivity as well.
The New Zealand Discourse Conference is a cornerstone event for research applying discourse analytic approaches. The 6th New Zealand Discourse Conference also includes an emphasis on multimodal discourse analysis.
