Following the past and recent successes of the International Conference on Multicultural Discourses, with the latest held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2016, we have now decided to hold the event once every two years instead of three. This means that the 6th International Conference on Multicultural Discourses will be held from Oct 23-Oct 25, 2018 at the Department of Culture Studies – School of Humanities at Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
In photography, the lens of a camera can be tilted and shifted to create new perspectives. Using discourse analysis as a lens enables us to gain new perspectives on the social world and generate new insights into influences and changes in a range of social phenomena. Discourse analysis encompasses a diverse range of analytical techniques and draws on a variety of theoretical and epistemological perspectives. Through an examination of talk, text and associated social practices, issues of identity, agency, structure, representation, power and practice can be addressed.

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
