Meeting Description:

Cross-Cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads II: Linguistic and Cultural
Representations

Wednesday 29 June-Friday 1 July 2011, University of East Anglia, Norwich UK

The conference will focus principally, but not exclusively, on
European languages, still unevenly represented in cross-cultural
pragmatics. It will, by virtue of its themes and of the inbuilt
interdisciplinarity of cross-cultural pragmatics generally, be
informed by different methodological paradigms (e.g. CA, interactional
discourse analysis, discourse analysis, cross- and intercultural
pragmatics, politeness theory, psycholinguistics).

This conference is the second in a series launched in 2006 with
‘Cross-cultural Pragmatics at a Crossroads: Speech Frames and Cultural
Perceptions’ at the University of East Anglia, and the fourth in a
sequence of related events including ‘Les enjeux de la communication
interculturelle’ in Montpellier (France) (Université Paul Valéry) in
2007 and ‘Cross-culturally speaking, speaking cross-culturally’ in
Sydney (Australia) in 2009 (Macquarie University).

Like its 2006 forerunner, this second event will be interdisciplinary.
It aims to bring together, under the umbrella of cross-cultural
pragmatics, researchers from domains which are particularly sensitive
to cross-cultural issues, to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas
and theoretical approaches, and explore key concerns associated with
communication across language and culture boundaries.

The theme of this second conference is ‘Linguistic and Cultural
Representations’ and is understood broadly as relating to the
cross-over of language and mediation activities in different
communicative environments in a multilingual framework. It is intended
to encompass communication and information flows in a range of
contexts (e.g. the press, television and computer games, cinema, the
theatre, museums, and the world wide web or other information
channels); and to explore a range of activities central to the sharing
of information and knowledge across languages and cultures in a global
context: news transfer, multimedia and screen translation (e.g.
subtitling, dubbing, etc.), stage translation and adaptation, the
provision of multilingual information (e.g. in museums, trade fairs,
etc.).

Plenary Speakers:

Juliane House (Hamburg University, Germany)
Gunther Kress (University of London. UK)
Michel Marcoccia (University of Troyes, France)
Jeremy Munday (University of Leeds, UK)
Luis Pérez-González (University of Manchester, UK)
Miranda Stewart (University of Strathclyde, UK)

Questions that the conference will aim to explore across media under
the theme of linguistic and cultural representations include:

-Representations and the perpetuation of cultural a-priori and/or conflict
-Representations as a vehicle promoting cross-cultural and
cross-linguistic sensitivity
-Representations as a locus for (re)-negotiations of individual and
group identities
-Representations as agents of hybridization of communicative practices
-Responses to representations
-Shifts in response paradigms

Research papers focusing on the little explored domain of audience
reception will be particularly welcome.

The general framework for the conference will be provided by plenary
papers delivered by distinguished scholars representing different
languages and complementary perspectives: intercultural communication,
cross-cultural pragmatics, discourse studies (including media
discourse), translation studies (including screen translation and
theatre adaptation), with application to English as a lingua franca,
French, German, Spanish inter alia.

Proposals, for individual papers (20 minutes) or proposer-led panels
on a particular theme (90 to 150 minutes), will be expected clearly to
identify their theoretical frame(s) of reference and methodological
approach.

Abstract deadline: 30 November 2010
