<P><SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: purple">In keeping with past
conferences, the theme for the 8<SUP>th</SUP> Conference is framed in broad
terms with a focus on aspects of discursive production and re-production in and
around organizations. It is designed to encompass the discursive social
processes involved in naming, fixing and transforming the social aspects of
organization which are deployed by social actors engaging in organizing and/or
being organised. On this basis, the sub-themes of the conference (i.e.
translations, transformations and transgressions) should be read as indicative
rather than exhaustive. They are intended to highlight a range of contemporary
issues pertinent to the discursive analysis of organizations and organizing.
While the three concepts are fluid and interpenetrating, they could be deployed
separately. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="COLOR: purple">Papers are invited on talk and text which address
issues of social representation, social construction and social interaction in
relation to any aspect of organization or organizing in relation to these
themes. Contributions may adopt any epistemological perspective but we are
concerned to achieve a balance between empirical studies and
conceptual/theoretical contributions. </SPAN></P>
