3rd European Conference on Argumentation – ECA 2019
 
Reason to Dissent
 
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Katie Atkinson, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
Ruth Wodak, University of Lancaster, Lancaster, UK
Jason Stanley, Yale University, New Haven, USA

Abstract Submission: 31 May - 1 October 2018

The special theme of this conference is Reason to Dissent. Dissent may spoil
the cooperation and reciprocity required for reason-based deliberation and
decision making. But then, dissent produces the kind of competition and
criticism required for reliable and robust outcomes. How much dissent does an
argumentative practice require? What kinds of dissent should we promote, or
discourage? How to deal with dissent virtuously? How to exploit dissent in
artificial arguers? How has dissent been conceptualized in the history of
rhetoric, dialectic and logic?
 
We have reason to dissent, and we do reason to dissent – also in the study of
argumentation. In the interdisciplinary field of argumentation studies, some
scholars emphasise the importance of studying argumentation in natural
settings. Others stress the value of theoretical models of argumentation, and
start from theories on logic or probability or from dialectical systems. Yet
others highlight the urgency of developing artificial systems of
argumentation, like software support, automated reasoning or argument mining.
The conference aims at exploiting this plurality for the purpose of a high
quality exchange of research results.
  
Submissions are not required to focus on the special theme Reason to Dissent.
We invite submissions on argumentation from various sub disciplines, taking
various approaches and dealing with various themes.

Abstract Submission:

1) Long paper, with commentator
Submit an abstract of 1000 to 1500 words, ready for double-blind reviewing.
Accepted papers are submitted prior to the conference (see “important dates”
below) and are assigned a commentator. Authors receive slots of about 35 min.
Published long papers have 5000 - 7000 words.
 
2) Regular paper, without commentator
Submit a regular abstract of 300 to 500 words, ready for double-blind
reviewing. Accepted regular papers are submitted after the conference, and no
commentator will be assigned. Authors receive slots of about 25 min. Published
regular papers have 3500 - 5000 words.
 
3) Thematic panel or symposium
Each thematic panel/symposium is expected to be related to the theme Reason to
Dissent. A panel has 3 to 5 speakers and takes 90 to 150 min. Examples are: a
book panel; a discussion; a series of connected papers. A panel proposal is
submitted by a panel organiser, ready for double-blind reviewing, and includes
a title, a description of the panel, its connection to the conference theme
(300-500 words), and the contributors’ titles and abstracts (300-500 words
each). Published papers have 3500 - 5000 words. Note that all abstracts in the
panel or symposium should also be individually submitted by their authors as
‘Regular papers’ by additionally ticking the option “My paper is part of a
thematic panel/symposium,” available in Easychair.
 
4) Poster
Submit a regular abstract (300 - 500 words) ready for double-blind reviewing.
Posters will not be published. A poster session will be organised in a
dedicated time slot during the conference.
