CFP Discourse: Multidisciplinary Perspectives – Reflections on Representation, Identity and/or (Non)Belonging

The English Language & Linguistics group at the University of Sussex is organizing a one-day colloquium on ‘Discourse: Multidisciplinary Perspectives’. We invite papers from the full range of disciplines that use discourse analysis, such as media studies, anthropology, history, linguistics, politics, psychology, gender studies, medicine, education and more.  The sub-topic of the colloquium is ‘Reflections on Representation, Identity and/or (Non)Belonging’, which we encourage participants to interpret in the broadest sense. As such, we welcome both illustrative research papers detailing discourse analyses on the topic/s, as well as position papers which help show how representation, identity and (non)belonging are understood from a discourse perspective within your particular discipline. Various perspectives are encouraged and some themes which have emerged from discussions with colleagues across disciplines include:
• representation of public/political figures or groups in the media,
• patients’ self-accounts in medicine/psychology,
• defendants’ self-presentations in criminology/law,
• negotiation of self-identity in the classroom in sociology/education or representation of values in public and/or educational texts
• identity construction in oral/written memories of war veterans and/or historical crucial moments in oral history
and much more.

We hope that the event will lead to greater understanding of how discourse is conceptualised and approached across disciplines and reveal opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Depending on interest, we also envisage a selection of papers being published in a special issue of CADAAD Journal (Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines).

If you are interested in contributing a paper, please send a 300 word abstract to Roberta Piazza (r.piazza[at]sussex.ac.uk) by September 30th 2016.

CFP Rhetoric Society of Europe (UK)

CFP: The Sixth “Rhetoric in Society” Conference of the RSE
University of East Anglia, Norwich
July 3rd-5th 2017

The School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies, University of East Anglia
“Rhetorics of Unity and Division”

Keynote speakers include:
Gerard Hauser (University of Colorado, Boulder)

CALL FOR PAPERS
Proposals are invited for panels, papers, roundtables and other forms of presentation to be delivered at the Sixth Conference of the Rhetoric Society of Europe. The conference will take place from July 3rd to 5th 2017 at The University of East Anglia in the medieval city of Norwich, in the United Kingdom.

We welcome proposals for:
– papers or panels which speak to the conference theme (explained below)
– papers or panels which address general issues related to the theory, analysis & practice of rhetoric in society
– other kinds of presentation such as roundtables or debates

Conference Theme: Rhetorics of Unity and Division
We particularly welcome proposals which speak to the conference theme of Rhetorics of Unity and Division. As Kenneth Burke showed us, rhetoric has the capacity to generate ‘identification’ between people, forging and affirming community. It also has the capacity to create divisions, distinctions and differences – as a way of creating new communities but also as a way of maintaining hierarchies and exclusions or of promoting and prolonging hostility. This is not only a social or political effect of rhetoric. It goes to the core of what rhetoric is: a practice which involves inventive ‘division’ – persuading people by breaking up issues and phenomena in particular ways, connecting some ideas while constituting others as antithetical.

It is possible to see the present day as marked by a rise in rhetorics of division – between ‘them’ and ‘us’, nations and regions, religions and classes. What forms does such rhetoric take? Does it repeat old and well-known rhetorical strategies or are there new forms of divisive rhetoric? To what extent is such rhetoric merely reflecting deep social divisions and to what extent does it create them? How are changes in the modes and means of communication enabling or disabling such division? Are these best conceived of as private or public, everyday and vernacular or exceptional and elite forms of rhetoric?

It is also possible to see the present as marked by a rise in new kinds of rhetoric of unity. There are many examples of new claims about identity and community (sometimes made against ‘traditional’ identifications) and contemporary means of communication are enabling people to form new rhetorics of unity across once impermeable borders (and with new kinds of intensity). How can we best understand these new kinds of rhetorical identity? What kinds of distinct strategies do we find in contemporary rhetorics of unity? What sorts of division, or unity, can be identified as outcomes of rhetorical strategies and actions?

We welcome proposals for papers or panels that address these themes and issues in any way.

General Papers
We also invite proposals for papers and panels more generally concerned with the theory, practice or analysis of rhetoric. This may include, for example, historical scholarship, theoretical analysis and contemporary cultural or political critique; work grounded in political theory, philosophy, languages and linguistics, argumentation, literary studies, communication studies, composition, media studies, psychology, sociology, history, cultural studies and more. Papers might be comparative, national or international in focus, concerned with particular orators, ideologies or movements; they might draw on queer theory, critical race theory, post colonialism and focus on spoken, written or audio-visual communication.

Alternative Presentations
We welcome proposals for forms of presentation other than panels and papers. This might include: roundtables addressing key rhetorical themes, works or phenomena; debates between contending positions; other, novel and effective ways of communicating research findings, claims and arguments.

How to Submit a Proposal
Please email: RSEconference6[at]gmail.com
In your proposal be sure to provide the following details:
*Your name and institutional affiliation
*What you are proposing (paper, panel, roundtable etc.)
*Title

CFP Int’l Association for Dialogue Analysis 2017 (Italy)

The 2017 International Association for Dialogue Analysis (IADA) conference will be held from October 11th-14th, 2017 at the University of Bologna (Department of Education) and is sponsored by the School of Psychology and Education, the FAM (Fondazione Alma Mater), and the International Association for Dialogue Analysis.

The conference focuses on the role of dialogue or interaction in displaying, maintaining, creating yet also defying the crucial dimensions of the world we live in. This process is particularly at play – although not necessarily noticed – in everyday life. Rather than a context, this phenomenological notion indicates the obvious, routine, quasi-natural quality of most human practices taking place in ordinary as well as institutional contexts. Quoting a well known formula by John Heritage (1984) yet applying it beyond the micro-level of the hic et nunc discursive environment, we propose to conceive dialogue as “context shaped and context renewing”. Overcoming the “interactional reductionism” (Levinson, 2005) implied in focusing solely on the emergent properties of language use, as well as any simplistic return to sociocultural, psychological an even material determinism, dialogue and interaction are seen as an “intermediate variable” (Ibidem) or faits d’interface (Descola, 2016) connecting the micro-order of everyday life and the macro-order of shared culture and social structure. As Rommetveit put it forty years ago, dialogue is “the skeleton” or “the architecture of intersubjectivity” (1976).

The 2017 International Association for Dialogue Analysis conference (Bologna, October 11th-14th, 2017) welcomes empirical and methodological extended abstracts and full papers from different disciplinary perspectives that focus on dialogue and interaction as carriers of, and tools for culture, social organization, moral horizons, identities and change.

The notion of action is at the core of the conference main theme: the contributors are asked to focus on dialogue and social interaction as –  at the same time – presupposing  and producing the crucial dimensions of the world we live in.

Theoretical papers are more than welcome insofar as they provide some empirical illustration of the paper’s theoretical point(s).

The conference includes but it is not limited to, the following subthemes:
• Dialogue and Health (e.g. dialogue as therapy; dialogue in clinical settings; medical interaction; dialogue in multilingual-multicultural healthcare contexts; dialogue in social work).
• Dialogue, Justice and Social Change  (e.g.; dialogue in policing including interrogation, citizen calls; criminal, civil and administrative law; transidioma and  asylum; intercultural institutional talk; social conflicts and Alternative Dispute Resolution practices; family and social mediation; restorative justice).
• Dialogue and Materiality (e.g. inter-objectivity; Actor-Network-Theory; things as dialogic entities; humans and non-humans interaction; sociosemiotics; dialogue and technologically saturated environment; the object’s affordances and the user’s agenda).
• Dialogue and Organization (e.g. dialogue as an organizing phenomenon; leadership and dialogue; expert-novice interaction; authority and power in organizational communication).
• Dialogue, Socialization and Education (e.g. dialogue in friendship and peer culture; family everyday talk; language socialization; classroom talk; dialogue in everyday school-life; assessment as a dialogic practice; teachers-parents conference; L2 learning activities; coaching and training).
• Dialogue, Text and Language (e.g. dialogue as text; dialogue in literary texts, CMC and audiovisual texts; text and reader dialogue; textual representations of dialogues; dialogue in advertising, advertising as dialogue; dialogue in propaganda and political speech; grammar, lexicon and cultural norms in everyday talk).We invite extended abstracts (500 to 700 words) or full papers of a maximum of 30 pages, including references. Any citation style is permitted (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago).

Submission opens on June 30th, 2016, and closes on November 30th, 2016 at 23:59 local time in Italy. Notification of acceptance in March 2017.

We look forward to your contributions!

2017 Convention – Salt Lake City, Utah

Conference Theme: Centralizing Marginality, Marginalizing the Center

Reflecting on nascent activity in social and political contexts brings to the fore various tensions: in particular, that of the margin(s) and the center. Multiple and significant strides, as well as setbacks, in society communicate particular rights, groups or populations moving from the margins to the center of a controversy. In those instances, we must inquire if what we observe are efforts to centralize marginality or efforts to marginalize the center. Similarly, for some of us, the experience of being marginalized, living on the margins, or working on/at the margins are familiar. Those experiences likely produce an array of communicative approaches and tactics of survival, regardless of the settings in which we exist.  Alternatively, our positionalities as teachers, scholars or (un/documented) citizens likely have us occupy spaces that both centralize and marginalize us. We may (un)knowingly center particular epistemologies in the classroom and in scholarship, adopt ontologies that carry the potential to shift how we study that which we do, and/or embrace pedagogies that require we rethink how marginality and the center manifest in our classrooms.

The 2017 WSCA conference theme “Centralizing Marginality, Marginalizing the Center” asks participants to think in diverse and innovative ways about the relational natures of margin(ality) and center (centrality). This theme encourages us to consider the ways that centralizing marginality carries the potential to reshape how we think about, study, and teach processes of communication. When marginality is centralized, what foundational theories are we encouraged to reconsider from the position of the margins? Which, if any, approaches to communication call for marginalizing the center in order to bring to light new ways of producing scholarship? Alternatively, we might reflect upon does the center need to be marginalized? If so, in what instances and why? Finally, the conference theme asks us to think of the dialectic of margin/center as the fulcrum of communicative activity and scholarly activity.

The Intercultural Communication Interest Group encourages papers and programs that explore this year’s conference theme, “Centralizing Marginality, Marginalizing the Center.”  Open to different topics relevant to Intercultural Communication, ICIG especially invites submissions from teachers, scholars, and practitioners who examine work within international contexts and topics that challenge Western constructs and performances of culture, identity, gender, queerness, and other identity markers in various environments.  ICIG also supports co-sponsored programs with other interest groups that consider the conference theme.

CFP Critical Issues in Eastern and Western Philosophy (Nepal)

Critical Issues in Eastern and Western Philosophy
19th December 2016
Nepal Academy Hall, Kathmandu, Nepal

The Department of Philosophy at the Nepal Academy, Kathmandu, Nepal, together with the Department of Philosophy at the University of Malta, Malta are collaborating by organizing a conference at the Nepal Academy on issues that are pertinent to the Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.

Philosophy, as a discipline with its own distinct territory, is undergoing a current revival of interest that is encouraging to practitioners of the subject. The questions that philosophers of both traditions are engaging with appeal, not only to academic professionals, but also to a broader public that thirsts for a greater degree of understanding of issues that are central to their lives.

To this end, a call for papers is being issued for those who are interested in presenting a 20-minute paper (3,000 words max.). Speakers are invited to discuss any theme related to:
Metaphysics
Philosophy of Ethics
Philosophy of Technology
Political Philosophy
Philosophy of Communication
Comparative Philosophy

Those interested in participating are asked to submit an abstract of a paper (c. 300 words) by email to the seminar organizing team. For Nepali contributors the abstract should be sent to Dinesh Raj, while international contributors should send their papers to Claude Mangion by Friday 14th October. Notification on acceptance of papers will be sent by Friday 28th October. The deadline for submission of papers is Friday 2nd December 2016.
