Meeting Description:

In a changing and complex world, the Arab region is witnessing
unprecedented transformation on all fronts. The politics may be worrying
and the economies unsettling, yet this region endured many injuries and
traumas in the past and survived all forms of hardship, least of which are
the climate and natural environment. However, the greatest challenge for
this region is how to cope with an ever-changing world in an era of
instantly accessible, synchronous communication. How can this region deal
with the ever-changing discourse, the ever-changing culture, the
ever-changing need for interaction with the other?

This conference explores issues of interconnectedness in a context of
change in language, thought, and culture, and what they entail for the
study of linguistics, literature and translation.

Call for Papers:

You are invited to participate in the International Conference on Language,
Literature and Translation: Power to Connect in a Changing World that will
be held on 22-25 April 2014 at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, University
of Jordan, Amman-Jordan. Selected refereed papers of the conference will be
published in a special volume of International Journal of Arabic-English
Studies(IJAES), the journal of The Association of Professors of English &
Translation at Arab Universities (APETAU).
