Conference

Hybridity and the News: Hybrid Forms of Journalism in the 21st Century

Recent years have witnessed major critical reappraisals of British Cultural Studies and its key figures. This one-day conference, organised by the Greater Manchester-based Radical Studies Network, continues that process through assessment of Raymond Williams’ work and legacy.

The event will feature a keynote lecture from Professor Tony Crowley. Artist Ruth Beale will present a film of her 30-minute performance, ‘Performing Keywords’, first performed at the Turner Contemporary, 2013. The day will conclude with a round-table discussion on Raymond Williams and the contemporary Left.

**EXTENDED DEADLINE - 16th January 2016**

We are glad to announce that the 5th Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines Conference (CADAAD) will take place 5-7 September 2016 and will be hosted by the Università di Catania, Sicily.

The proposed panel aims at bringing together an international group of pragmatics scholars working on health communication, and in particular the issues related to global transitions in health care. In a broader area of workplace communication transitions are typically understood as periods of change and discontinuity in professional life space (e.g. Westerman, 2012: 11). Much has been written about transitions in the workplace, particularly in the contexts of career change, novice-expert experiences, inter-organizational job change, and organizational mergers and acquisitions.

12th INTERNATIONAL PRAGMATICS CONFERENCE
3-8 July 2011, Manchester, UK

SPECIAL THEME: Pragmatics and its interfaces

The stigma of violence in Latin American foundational fictions is well understood. From the Crónicas de la conquista to the representation of excess in national politics, be it the banana strikers’ massacre in One Hundred Years of Solitude or the cycle of vengeance in La Fiesta del Chivo, violence underscores fiction’s capacity to “protest against the insufficiencies of life”, as Vargas Llosa proposed in his Nobel lecture. In recent decades however, a subjective sensibility towards violence has taken hold.

Der professorale Habitus im Wettbewerb um Exzellenz. Die Geisteswissenschaften zwischen Autonomie und Anpassung im akademischen Feld

The idea for this conference arose from a discussion at the BSA Race and Ethnicity Study Group business meeting at the annual conference in 2013. Our aim is to bring to light the diverse range of theoretical work that is being developed and to consider how the theory is brought to bear on current issues of race, racism and ethnicity.

Papers are invited that both explore contemporary theoretical debates and consider the ways in which diverse theoretical frameworks are deployed in specific areas of study. Paper topics include, but are not restricted to, the following themes:
