Meeting Description:

The PRIN/CLAVIER Conference ''Knowledge Dissemination, Ethics and Ideology in
Specialised Communication: Linguistic and Discursive Perspectives'' will be
held jointly at IULM University and at the Università degli Studi di Milano
Statale, Milan from 29 November to 1 December 2018.

Conference themes include: 

1. Transformations undergone by sensitive specialised knowledge in the
dissemination process, in traditional media and in the new media. 
2. Bioethical themes in texts produced within the domains of medicine,
genetics and biotechnology (e.g. assisted reproductive technology, surrogate
motherhood, genetic manipulation, cloning, euthanasia, sex re-assignment,
etc.) and in sustainability and environment conservation discourses. 
3. Ethical and ideological implications in business communication and in the
representation of corporate strategies and activities. 
4. Ideological implications in legal discourse (judicial, legislative,
academic), with special regard to sensitive issues (e.g. sexism, ageism,
racism, end of life, artificial reproductive technologies) and cutting edge
technological advances (e.g. in the life sciences). 
5. Ideology and ethics in translation and interpreting in specialised domains
(healthcare, legal political, diplomatic, business, migration settings). 
6. Criticality of information transmission for decision making in an
individual or a collective dimension (e.g. political decisions, intervention
measures in emergencies, informed consent for therapies or surgery). 
7. Ethics and ideology in research on specialised and professional discourse. 


Call for Papers:

For all submissions, please clearly indicate: 

- Abstract title, author names, and full institutional affiliations of the
responsible (presenting) 
author and collaborating authors. 
- Contact e-mail address and phone number for the responsible author. 
- One or two conference themes. 

Abstracts can be submitted until 10 May 2018 and should be sent to
engling.events at unimi.it.

1) Individual Papers:

Proposals (of no more than 250 words) can be made for either oral or poster
presentations, so authors should indicate their preference. Authors of poster
presentations will be expected to discuss their poster during their assigned
session. Oral presentations will typically be scheduled in 90-minute sessions,
with 30 minutes (20 min. presentation + 10 min. discussion) allocated to each
individual presentation. 

2) Panels
 
Panels which will include approximately four thematically related papers
should address a common theme, content or methodological area, and will be
scheduled for 90 minutes. 
In addition to individual proposals (no more than 250 words each), please also
submit an overview description of no more than 300 words highlighting the
panel’s content and objectives. The panel abstract and the abstracts of the
individual papers must be submitted together. 

Please also provide information about the panel members and chair, stating
full institutional affiliations and e-mail addresses. 

Please note that you may choose to submit more than one proposal, but normally
only one proposal will be accepted for oral presentation. Any additional
accepted proposals may be presented as posters. 

Proposals will be reviewed on the basis of the following criteria: 

- relevance of the topic to the conference theme
- background contextualisation of the study
- relationship between title and content, structural organisation
- theoretical/methodological appropriateness
- clarity and originality of claims/findings

Individual panels are reviewed in their entirety, based on the above criteria
as well as the overall coherence of the proposal and of participants’
contributions. 

All proposals will undergo a double blind peer-review process. 

The deadline for submission is May 10, 2018. 

Following formal acceptance, the responsible (presenting) authors must
register for the conference prior to the finalisation of the conference
programme.
