Call for Papers:

Faculty of Foreign Languages, Alfa BK University in Belgrade (Serbia) is happy
to invite you to the 5th International Conference on Language and Literary
Studies: Language, Literature, and Popular Culture. The aim of this conference
is to explore various facets of popular culture, particularly the ways it
interacts with language and literature, as well as arts and society. We accept
presentation proposals that focus on one or more of the following topics: 

- Theoretical and practical application of aspects of popular culture in
education and language teaching  
- Historical perspectives on popular culture, various practices related and
meanings attributed to it in different periods of time
- Phenomena of popular culture as sites of negotiation between mainstream
ideologies and subversive trends and, more broadly, the subversive in popular
culture
- Position and role of popular culture in contemporary neoliberal societies,
and its interaction with the notions of globalism and multiculturalism
- Position of popular culture within debates on mass culture, mass media, and
mass society
- Complex relationship between popular culture and literary canon, especially
within the postmodern definition of popular culture, the main point of which
is, according to John Storey, ''that postmodern culture is a culture that no
longer recognizes the distinction between high and popular culture''
- Differences between popular culture and popular arts, and attempts to
determine, in line with Stuart Hall and Paddy Whannel's arguments expounded in
The Popular Arts, ''what is good and worthwhile and what is shoddy and
debased'' in modern forms of communication
- Contextualization of popular culture within gender studies and queer theory
- Interactions between popular culture and performance studies
- Contextualization of popular culture within the broad field of human
geography
- Language and cognition in popular culture
- Discourses of popular culture and related language ideologies
- The poststructuralist turn in critical theory and related takes on
linguistics, semantics, and semiology

Proposals of presentations on any other aspect of the popular in language,
literature or culture are also welcome. 

Your proposals for a fifteen-minute presentation (followed by a short
discussion) should be sent in the attached application form by e-mail to
fsj.conference at alfa.edu.rs, by 1 August, 2016. The proposals should contain
your name, affiliation and email address, title of the presentation and an
abstract of 200 to 250 words, together with up to 10 keywords. Proposals
should be submitted in the language in which the presentation will be
delivered: English or Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian. Notifications of
acceptance will be sent by 1 September 2016. Conference dates: 30 September-1
October 2016.

also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
