Meeting Description:

The concepts of identity and communication have respectively been at
the heart of many compelling critical debates. The correlation between
these two notions, however, has been brought to the forefront thanks
to the emanation of theories such as Michael Hecht’s Communication
Theory of Identity (Hecht, 1993). Indeed, the latter proposition has
underscored the interdependence and mutual constitution of both
identity and communication.
In line with this perspective, the English Department at the Higher
Institute of Applied Languages in Moknine organises an international
conference that brings together scholars from Linguistics, Culture
Studies, Literature and Communication to approach the dynamics in the
relationship between communication and identity. The conference aims
at bringing varied perspectives to the use of the different means of
communication to create and maintain identities or challenge existing
ones.
