Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2016 

Meeting Description:

The conference on Discourse approaches to financial communication (DAFC) is an
interdisciplinary forum for discussing innovative research based on the
analysis of texts, discourse, conversations and multi-modal messages in
financial disclosures and investor relations, in business and financial media,
and in the communication of financial intermediaries and regulators.
Discourse-based studies at the interface between Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) and financial communication, interested in sustainable
investment and the legitimacy of financial institutions, are also welcome. 

The focus of the second edition of DAFC will be on how story and argument
contribute to build sustainable trust in financial actors (CEO, corporate
directors, analysts, etc.), institutions (banks, regulators, rating agencies,
etc.), and in the whole market. While trust has been always recognized as one
of the most crucial components of finance, the concrete communication
processes by which individual, organizational and inter-organizational
trustworthiness is preserved over time or restored after a crisis remain
substantially under investigated. To fill this gap, we call for studies
examining the discursive dynamics of trust in the financial context from
different theoretical and methodological perspectives, similar to those
presented during the first DAFC edition held in 2014 at Monte Veritá (Ascona,
February 2014).

Keynote Speakers:

Mark Aakhus, Rutgers University
Walter Aerts, Antwerp Management School
Onno Bouwmeester, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Bill McDonald, University of Notre Dame

Conference Organizers:

Andrea Rocci, Institute of Argumentation, Linguistics and Semiotics, USI
Rudi Palmieri, Department of Communication and Media, University of Liverpool
François Degeorge, Swiss Finance Institute, USI
Daniel Perrin, Department of Applied Linguistics, Zurich University of Applied
Sciences.
