Meeting Description:

The Department of English and American Studies at Sofia University ''St.
Kliment Ohridski'' invites scholars to submit proposals for the international
conference Traditions and Transitions - to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The conference is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Department of
English and American Studies at Sofia University. People celebrate
anniversaries in order to commemorate what has been achieved so far and to
envision what should be achieved in the future. The event aims to look back at
a distinguished past, and ahead to a challenging future.

The conference seeks to bring together young and established scholars, and
also professors emeriti from academic institutions in Bulgaria and abroad,
giving them a venue to debate and exchange views on traditions and transitions
in the research in and the teaching of English-language-related disciplines.


Call for Papers:

The field of English and American Studies is in transition, as it seeks new
approaches, and re-examines older ones, in order to address the multiple
issues facing the development of  English-language related disciplines
required for participation in today's global community. The organizers of this
conference encourage papers using a variety of  interdisciplinary approaches
to developments in the field and a wide range of analytical perspectives
(historical, artistic, literary, political, aesthetic, ethical, linguistic,
sociolinguistic, cognitive etc.).

We invite individual abstracts and panel proposals in an array of topics,
discussing traditions and transitions in any of the areas below:

- The study of English linguistics (including English phonetics, phonology,
syntax, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, text linguistics,
discourse analysis, corpus linguistics and stylistics);

- The study of literatures written in the English language;

- The study of Anglophone cultures and societies with a special focus on the
complexity and hybridity of cultural interaction, transnationalism and
transculturalism; the movement between places, identities and cultures;

- Translation studies, Мedia studies, transmedia.
 
Abstracts for twenty-minute presentations and panel proposals should be
submitted by 1 March, 2018.

Please include the following in your submission:
