Meeting Description:
Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads II: Linguistic and Cultural
Representations across Media
Wednesday 29 June-Friday 1 July 2011, University of East Anglia, Norwich UK
The conference will focus principally, but not exclusively, on European
languages, still unevenly represented in cross-cultural pragmatics. It will, by
virtue of its themes and of the inbuilt interdisciplinarity of cross-cultural
pragmatics generally, be informed by different methodological paradigms (e.g.
CA, interactional discourse analysis, discourse analysis, cross- and
intercultural pragmatics, politeness theory, psycholinguistics).
Plenary Speakers
Juliane House (Hamburg University, Germany)
Gunther Kress (University of London. UK)
Michel Marcoccia (University of Troyes, France)
Jeremy Munday (University of Leeds, UK)
Luis Pérez-González (University of Manchester, UK)
Miranda Stewart (University of Strathclyde, UK)
Call for Papers
This conference is the second in a series launched in 2006 with "Cross-cultural
Pragmatics at a Crossroads: Speech Frames and Cultural Perceptions" at the
University of East Anglia. Like its 2006 forerunner, this second event will be
interdisciplinary. It aims to bring together, under the umbrella of
cross-cultural pragmatics, researchers from domains which are particularly
sensitive to cross-cultural issues, to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas
and theoretical approaches, and explore key concerns associated with
communication across language and culture boundaries.
The theme of this second conference is 'Linguistic and Cultural Representations
across Media', understood broadly as relating to the cross-over of language,
mediation activities and media in a multilingual framework. It is intended to
encompass communication and information flows in a range of contexts (e.g. the
press, television and computer games, cinema, the theatre, museums, and the
world wide web or other information channels); and to explore a range of
activities central to the sharing of information and knowledge across languages
and cultures in a global context: news transfer, multimedia and screen
translation (e.g. subtitling, dubbing, etc.), stage translation and adaptation,
the provision of multilingual information (e.g. in museums, trade fairs, etc.).
Questions that the conference will aim to explore across media under the theme
of linguistic and cultural representations include:
- Representations and the perpetuation of cultural a-priori and/or conflict
- Representations as a vehicle promoting cross-cultural and cross-linguistic
sensitivity
- Representations as a locus for (re)-negotiations of individual and group
identities
- Representations as agents of hybridization of communicative practices
- Responses to representations
- Shifts in response paradigms
Research papers focusing on the little explored domain of audience reception
will be particularly welcome.
Proposals are invited for individual papers (20 minutes) or proposer-led panels
on a particular theme (90 to 150 minutes). Abstracts (300 words for individual
papers, 600 words for panels) should be submitted through the Linguist List at
http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/CCPII 2011
Abstracts will be expected clearly to identify their theoretical frame(s) of
reference and methodological approach.
Languages: English, French or Spanish
The general framework for the conference will be provided by plenary papers
delivered by distinguished scholars representing different languages and
complementary perspectives: intercultural communication, cross-cultural
pragmatics, discourse studies (including media discourse), translation studies
(including screen translation and theatre adaptation), with application to
English as a lingua franca, French, German, Spanish inter alia.
