This panel will examine how conflict characterizes modernity and post modernity, and how the response to crisis often takes a militarized tone. Even within literary discourse, the division resulting from Gender is one which suggests combat.
AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
1) To bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the globe to contribute to a stimulating and rewarding exchange of ideas and techniques regarding discourse studies;
2) To enhance cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and research innovation in discourse studies;
3) To facilitate the formation of collaborative research networks among conference participants.
THEMES OF THE CONFERENCE
Cultural reflexivity and innovation in discourse studies
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to announce that the 5th international conference in the 360o series will be held in Aarhus, Denmark May 8th –May 10th 2014. The conference features three key note addresses:
Professor Theo van Leeuwen
Professor Carey Jewitt
Professor David Machin.
In this two-day conference we would like to address culture and intercultural communication from a micro-perspective. Commonly the linguistic study of intercultural communication is concerned with analysing miscommunication between speakers from two or more different ‘cultures’, defined predominantly as large-scale nation and language communities.
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 15 FEBRUARY 2015
