Meeting Description:

Dialogue and Representation
IADA -- International Association for Dialogue Analysis
13th International Conference on Dialogue Analysis
www.dialogue-representation.org

April 26-30, 2011
Université de Montréal, Québec, Canada

One basic issue of Dialogue Analysis draws on the problem of how to represent
the object 'dialogue'. There is no generally agreed concept of dialogue; various
perspectives can be taken which result in different concepts of dialogue and
correspondingly in different methodologies of Dialogue Analysis. For this 13th
international conference of the International Association for Dialogue Analysis,
papers are invited which address this basic question of the relationship between
the object dialogue and the methodology of representation. We also invite
researchers to submit proposals that more generally address the connections of
representation with dialogue.

Conference Theme
The object-of-study 'dialogue' and its representation

One basic issue of Dialogue Analysis draws on the problem of how to represent
the object 'dialogue'. There is no generally agreed concept of dialogue; various
perspectives can be taken which result in different concepts of dialogue and
correspondingly in different methodologies of Dialogue Analysis. Besides
competence models which search for underlying rules and performance models which
focus on ever-varying spoken language or individual inferences, there is the
model of competence-in-performance which tries to grasp how human beings come to
grips with dialogue in real life. Research could start  from spoken discourse or
reflect the 'model of the mixed game' which mediates between order and disorder
and combines regularity and individuality. All issues could be looked at both on
a case-analysis basis and on a more theoretical approach.

Papers are invited which address this basic question of the relationship between
the object dialogue and the methodology of representation. We also invite
researchers to submit proposals that more generally address the connections of
representation with dialogue, which can be problematized in at least the six
following ways: 

1. Dialogue as representation (1)
Etymologically, representing means "making something or someone present."
Applied to a dialogic situation, this acceptation of the term invites to insist
on the actional dimension of activities of representation, which then leads to
questions of representativeness, spokespersons, translation, incarnation,
embodiment, materialization, truth, etc. 

2. Dialogue as representation (2)
In many different ways, dialogue (as a space or dimension of concrete exchanges)
functions as a means of representation of entities: political, social,
organizational, ethical, etc. Said otherwise, if the emphasis in (1) is placed
on the content and character manifested in dialogue, here the emphasis could be
on the dialogue itself as it functions as a locus of expression of social entities. 

3. Representations on effective dialogue
These approaches could procure a critical and/or metatheoretical analysis of the
ways in which dialogue occurs about representation, in terms of practical
modalities but also in terms of criteria of validity and success in
representation (relevance, sufficient adequacy).

4. Normative perspectives on dialogue/representation issues
The questions of dialogue evaluation are manifold and could be considered more
closely here. Norms of dialogue include formalizations about competence,
performance and their combination but also the relationships between Bakhtinian
perspectives on dialogue and critical perspectives assuming that dialogue
permits to overcome some limits of representation, for instance by recourse to
co-construction of problems and descriptions.

5. Representation of dialogue (1)
How can dialogic language use be represented? The idea of representation is an
opportunity to connect dialogue studies with a plurality of rich trends of
thinking and research: Kenneth Burke's rhetoric, Goffman's interactionism,
Bakhtin's convergence of logics can give a context for the theme of
representation as a scene, a display of roles or a distribution of
relationships. Representation of dialogue could also be discussed in terms of
schematism, graphical figurations or mapping of dialogue settings.

6. Representation of dialogue (2)
Representation frames, theories, or constructs can be seen as somehow expressing
forms or manifestations of dialogic experiences or expressions. These
theoretical constructs could be articulated as deformations of dialogue or as
valid expressions.
