The 7th Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS-2014) will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, which has been awarded as one among Top 7 Intelligent Communities in 2013. Estonia is often called "e-Estonia" to describe Estonia's emergence as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world and Estonians have the privilege to enjoy a large range of e-solutions and services. Since Estonia is willing to be the example for others who wish to follow the same path, the theme of "knowledge-based services" is selected as the overall theme of KCWS-2014.

In marking the 10th anniversary gathering, the 2018 workshop is being organized under the theme of X-SCAPES as a deliberately and pointedly non-thematic theme. We thereby invite participants (old and new) to reconsider and re-imagine the field’s methodologies and intellectual priorities for the next ten years.

X = the number ten
X = numeric and alphabetic
X = semiotic and embodied
X = ancient and futuristic
X = unknowable and mysterious
X marks the spot

General theme: Ideology, identity and interaction

We are pleased to announce that the third international conference Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines will take place 13-15 September 2010.

The legitimacy of international organizations seems more contested than ever today. Recent debates on the politicization of international organizations illustrate that IOs have increasingly become subject to critical public review. While the legitimacy of international governance has long been treated as a non-issue, IOs such as the EU or the G8 are now suffering a legitimacy crisis. This panel will explore how IOs attempt to deal with these legitimacy challenges.

The biannual Organizational Discourse Conference celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2012. In the past two decades ‘discourse analysis’ has firmly established itself as a topic of interest, an analytical perspective informing a variety of critical theoretical approaches, and a methodology for organizational research. A discursive approach has been widely adopted in a variety of subfields.

This symposium will be a space for the researchers, professors and students interested in the field to gather
and exchange theoretical and methodological proposals, and research results.
