CALL FOR PAPERS


http://languageinthemedia.com/



The International Conference Language in the Media 8 will be hosted by the
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Federal University of
the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) from July 23rd to 26, 2019. The
conference aims to discuss the theme mediatising resistance. The relation
between language and the mediatisation of resistance is particularly
relevant these days in view of the intensification of tensions, bigotry,
and polarization we have been witnessing worldwide.


A well-established body of research indicates that this state of conflict
is partly articulated in media communication. It also shows just how high
the stakes rise when attrition gets commodified. Although media interaction
involves complex and layered power relations, it only exists amidst
constant battles for meaning and contextualization. One can thus say that
the production, circulation and interpretation of media texts are always
power-resistance actions. However, the dynamics of these complementary
practices and their transformation possibilities still demand thorough
exploration. Foucault has taught us that power games are fluid and
relational and, as such, are prone to instability and insubordination.
These concerns embody the conference’s focus on struggles for
domination-reversal enhanced by media semiosis. These topics will be
addressed in keynotes by Daniel Silva (UFSC, Brazil), Deborah Cameron
(University of Oxford, UK), and H. Samy Alim (UCLA, USA).



While favoring the focus on power-resistance processes, LinM8 will keep the
interest in other broad sociolinguistic topics and their relations to processes
of mediatisation. Submissions whose focus lies in the following areas are
welcome:



-          Language standardization and style

-          Language policy and practice

-          Language acquisition

-          Multilingualism and cross-/inter-cultural communication

-          Communication in professional contexts

-          Representations of speech, thought, and writing

-          Language and class, dis/ability, race/ethnicity,
gender/sexuality and age

-          Political discourse, commerce and global capitalism

-          Language and education



The deadline for submission is *10/October/2018*. Abstracts in English or
Portuguese must be *300 words* long and must be submitted via EasyCair in
