Message 2: Malaysia International Conference on Languages, Literatures, and CulturesDate: 24-Sep-2004From: Shamala Paramasivam <shamala putra.upm.edu.my>Subject: Malaysia International Conference on Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Malaysia International Conference on Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Short Title: MICOLLAC Date: 23-Apr-2005 - 25-Apr-2005 Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Contact Person: Noritah Omar Meeting Email: nomar fbmk.upm.edu.my
Web Site: http://www.fbmk.upm.edu.my/~micollac ; Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics Subject Language(s): English Call Deadline: 23-Jan-2005 Meeting Description: This conference is concerned with ''Critical Perspectives on Theory and Practice in the New World Order'' in relation to the study of language, literature and culture. The idea of this conference starts with the premise that exploration of theory helps raise important questions which contextualize, frame, and problematise critical issues which are faced by society. Amongst the critical issues relating to language, literature, and culture that are continuously debated and problematized are the validation, dominance, and negotiation of culture and geographical borders, religious and cultural identity, language and education policies, resistance to hegemony and ideology, the politics of media, language and power, neocolonialism, new literatures, and cultural and linguistic imperialism. As well as addressing pressing issues in relation to current state of the world, the conference also aims to provide a space for discussion of theory, thus making theory appear more friendly and accessible to academics and practitioners in the fields of language, literature and culture. The complexity of theory can be unpacked to promote participation of educational practitioners and policy makers to see how they can contextualize educational, cultural and social issues within more systematic evaluation. Thus, the questions to be addressed in the conference are questions relating to the 'making sense' of theory and questions relating to the 'making sense' of the new world order.
