Conference

The last decade has witnessed a profound change in the interdisciplinary field of memory studies. Instead of analysing representations of memory in different media, researchers are increasingly paying attention to memory practices, i.e. how people in various sites and contexts negotiate the meanings they ascribe to the past.

Analyzing Discourse and Regimes of Power/Knowledge with the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) and related perspectives

Keynote speakers:

2018 is a year to celebrate two important milestones in the history of social semiotics – publication of landmark books in 1978 and 1988. Forty years ago, Michael Halliday issued Language as a Social Semiotic. Ten years after, Robert Hodge and Gunther Kress published Social Semiotics. To mark these two important anniversaries the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University holds the conference Social Science as Social Semiotics as a part of wider research and education program Baltic Modes of Social Semiotics.

Congress Theme

Language Evolving

As applied linguistics matures as an academic field, the range and variety of areas of interest are expanding rapidly, perhaps to the extent that the field is in danger of becoming fragmented. Research provides a common language for applied linguists from different sub-fields, with research approaches and research issues applicable to all applied linguists irrespective of their specific field of interest. With this awareness, this Conference was initiated under collaboration between Macquarie University and the School of Liberal Arts, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi.

In practice and theory, in daily life choices and organizational changes, in legislative initiatives, in entrepreneurial education, in artistic inventions, in individual and collective projects interesting work is being done to unfold immaterial values, human resources and utopias within a capitalist framework.
