Call for Papers
8th International Conference on Organizational Discourse: Translations, Transformations and Transgressions , Queen Mary, University of London, 23 rd -25 th July, 2008 
Conference Theme
In keeping with past conferences, the theme for the 8th Conference is framed in broad terms with a focus on aspects of discursive production and re-production in and around organizations. It is designed to encompass the discursive social processes involved in naming, fixing and transforming the social aspects of organization which are deployed by social actors engaging in organizing and/or being organised. On this basis, the sub-themes of the conference (i.e. translations, transformations and transgressions) should be read as indicative rather than exhaustive. They are intended to highlight a range of contemporary issues pertinent to the discursive analysis of organizations and organizing. While the three concepts are fluid and interpenetrating, they could be deployed separately. 

Papers are invited on talk and text which address issues of social representation, social construction and social interaction in relation to any aspect of organization or organizing in relation to these themes. Contributions may adopt any epistemological perspective but we are concerned to achieve a balance between empirical studies and conceptual/theoretical contributions.
