Conference

The proposed panel aims at bringing together an international group of pragmatics scholars working on health communication, and in particular the issues related to global transitions in health care. In a broader area of workplace communication transitions are typically understood as periods of change and discontinuity in professional life space (e.g. Westerman, 2012: 11). Much has been written about transitions in the workplace, particularly in the contexts of career change, novice-expert experiences, inter-organizational job change, and organizational mergers and acquisitions.

The Conference on “Reported speech and its markers: theoretical and pedagogical perspectives” is organised by the NaviLireResearch Group” (NRG), comprising researchers from different countries and with different mother tongues. The group has initiated a project which makes use of the principles of contrastive textual linguistics using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. It is in this context that the NaviLire software package has been developed, enabling the identification and visualisation of the linguistic markers which characterise the various textual logics.

The stigma of violence in Latin American foundational fictions is well understood. From the Crónicas de la conquista to the representation of excess in national politics, be it the banana strikers’ massacre in One Hundred Years of Solitude or the cycle of vengeance in La Fiesta del Chivo, violence underscores fiction’s capacity to “protest against the insufficiencies of life”, as Vargas Llosa proposed in his Nobel lecture. In recent decades however, a subjective sensibility towards violence has taken hold.

Der professorale Habitus im Wettbewerb um Exzellenz. Die Geisteswissenschaften zwischen Autonomie und Anpassung im akademischen Feld

The idea for this conference arose from a discussion at the BSA Race and Ethnicity Study Group business meeting at the annual conference in 2013. Our aim is to bring to light the diverse range of theoretical work that is being developed and to consider how the theory is brought to bear on current issues of race, racism and ethnicity.

Papers are invited that both explore contemporary theoretical debates and consider the ways in which diverse theoretical frameworks are deployed in specific areas of study. Paper topics include, but are not restricted to, the following themes:

The conference organisers of the first Perspectives on Conflict Conference, to be held on Friday 6th June 2014 at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, invite submissions from academics working on the theme of conflict in the areas of law, economics, education and social sciences more generally.
