Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Contact Person: Noritah Omar
Meeting Email: nomar at fbmk.upm.edu.my

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.
