Conference

Discourse, Communication and the Enterprise (DICOEN9)

Dear Colleagues,
we kindly invite you to the 9th international conference on Discourse, Communication and the Enterprise. The conference aims to promote and foster interaction between those interested in discourse and communication in organisational settings, and follows a series of successful conferences (Lisbon 2001, Vigo 2003, Rio de Janeiro 2005, Nottingham 2007, Milan 2009, Hong Kong 2011, Beijing 2013 and Naples 2015).

Violence, Space and the Political

In this multi-disciplinary conference we wish to think through the imbrications of violence, space, and the political. Given that our present conjuncture is one constituted by innumerable sites of apartheid, exclusion, oppression, and indeed, resistance(s), such an interrogation is both crucial and potentially productive in re-thinking questions of power and radical politics.

Language and Superdiversity

During the past few decades, the face of social, cultural and linguistic diversity in societies all over the world has changed radically, producing complexity of a different kind than what has traditionally been captured in the notion of multiculturalism. This ‘new’ diversity, or super-diversity (Vertovec 2007), encompasses a wide range of societal and cultural transformations that stem mainly from accelerated processes of geocultural and mediated globalization of the last two decades.

Translating Asia: Now and Then. First International Conference on Translation Studies

We welcome submissions to the First International Conference on Translation Studies which will be held on 8-9 May 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. ICTS2014 aims to be a supportive space for those who wish to present their latest studies and research projects related to Asian languages and cultures. It further seeks to create a dynamic network of researchers working in Translation Studies. This interdisciplinary conference further welcomes researchers of related disciplines who focus their studies on Asian languages and cultures.
