Abstract Submission Deadline: October 31, 2011
IGALA 7 (7th International Gender and Language Association Conference)
invites submissions for oral presentations, posters, organized round tables
(aka panels), and workshops on all scientific approaches and disciplines to
analyzing and interpreting the relationships among language, gender and
sexuality.
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

Pre- and post-referendum discursive strategies
The category of visibility constitutes a key dimension of the public sphere, up to the extent that the public sphere can be characterized as constituted in/by struggles over visibility. At the threshold of visibility, one often encounters power struggles over what aspects of social and cultural practices deserve a public stage, and what aspects should be relegated to the private sphere (or made invisible altogether).
