Meeting Description:

Discourse on linguistic and cultural diversity is by no means new and the
topic has been approached from the most diverse angles of investigation: from
cultural studies, anthropology and linguistics to literature, translation
studies and foreign language teaching –if we were to mention some of the
disciplines that are closest to this area of research. Despite its recurrence,
though, the subject is far from losing its high relevance at a time when
cultural and linguistic identities are constantly challenged by the powerful –
and inevitable – phenomenon of globalization. Moreover, the interdisciplinary
potential of the topic makes it still attractive to further multifaceted
research and thought-provoking inquiries.

However, the novelty and challenge of this conference are also determined by
its cross-border dimension, with two outstanding universities in their
respective countries, enjoying well-respected academic traditions, as main
organizers. Its unique context of development is marked by geographical
vicinity, by the intercultural dialogue of two areas in which distinct, yet
occasionally merging cultures and languages have co-existed. In addition, this
scientific event is the joint venture of two Departments of English.
Consequently, the main general questions that the conference addresses are:
how has the study of English foregrounded cultural and linguistic plurality on
our planet? How has it encouraged the assertion of linguistic and cultural
identities?


Call for Papers:

In keeping with its topic, the conference also offers a unique opportunity for
profitable encounters between participants from the most diverse geographical
areas – who are invited to present papers from the perspective of such
(inter)disciplines as:

- Cultural studies
- Linguistics and stylistics
- Literature, film and the media
- Translation studies
- ELT

to which other fields of interest could be added.

Interested participants are invited to send a 300-word abstract and a brief
bio-biblio note to the following email address: ISCEConference at gmail.com

Deadline for proposal submission: June 15, 2017
Notification of acceptance:July 31, 2017
