We can speak of various physical (topological, projective, linear, circular), metaphysical (mythical, sacred), social (sociological, national-historical, local, global, ethnic), communicative (linguistic, textual, contextual, narrative, hermeneutical) spaces, as structuring components providing access to various literary, linguistic and social phenomena, thus promoting the initiation of a cross-disciplinary dialogue. Conference Fee: 100 RON (25 EUR) to be paid upon arrival. It will cover meals and conference documents. Call for Papers: The conference primarily encourages investigations carried out in the above-mentioned research fields. Paper proposals are welcome in the following topics: intercultural and interethnic spaces; linguistic, textual space formation; the narratology of space, spatial-temporal relationships, space constructing mechanisms in literature and film; semantic and cognitive approaches to space in linguistics, literary and social studies; virtual and imaginary spaces.
