Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 01-Nov-2022 

Meeting Description:

This panel continues the investigative approach that began in a similar
fashion at the 15th IPrA conference (Belfast 2017) and continued at the 17th
IPrA (Winterthur 2021). Within the conference (2023) main theme of the
pragmatics of (a)typicality, this panel explores how the communication of
knowledge during atypical events (health crises, natural disasters, terrorist
attacks etc.) is perceived, learned, shared and used by the individual and/or
social groups with diverse backgrounds across separated geographies. This
panel uses two main frameworks: (1) Iconic communication proposed by Barker
and Yazdani (2000) that defines types of communications that occur mainly in
social media; and (2) the Pragmatics of Fiction (Miriam A. Locher & Andreas H.
Jucker, 2017), that studies pragmatics within fictional context(s).

One of the takeaways from these two approaches is that within these
relationships and interactions with the fictional/non-fictional context(s) is
that individuals who may or not share the same socio-cultural background or
geographical space still find shared experiences embedded in the verbal-visual
fictional/non-fictional discourse(s).

The panel welcomes presentations on the study of iconic communication and the
pragmatics of fiction from a diversity of theoretical perspectives including,
Systemic Functional Perspectives (O’Halloran 2004), Semiotic Approaches (Kress
and Van Leeuwen 2001), Conceptual Metaphor theory (Lakoff 1980, 1984;
Kövecses, 2010, 2020) and Tele-cinematic and Media discourse(s). In this
context, the panel is open to research taking any perspective, but it would
like to focus on one of the following points:

- the interaction between images and words or other modes of communication in
social media/cinema.

- the present impact of social media and iconic communication in catastrophic
events (health crisis, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, mass shootings,
etc.)

- the relationship of iconic communication to the increase of online
communication through different platforms in the context of the CoVid-19
pandemic and social movements: MeToo, Black Lives Matter, Global Warming and
Climate Change.

- How cinema, television and the visual arts reflect on and disseminate
discourses of social change/or the opposite, conspiracy theories.

- How cinema and media are used as frameworks of learning to cope.

Call for Papers:

Panel contributions can be submitted from 19 July 2022 until the deadline
(open NOW!). Though it is the panel organizer(s) who take(s) active
responsibility for the quality of the contributions to their panel (i.e. they
decide what is accepted), abstracts should, for all panel contributions
(including the ones invited by the organizer(s)) be submitted by the
contributors separately by 1 November 2022, the deadline that is also handled
for lecture and poster submissions (see below). Panel organizers are expected
to guide invited participants in this process, so that all formal requirements
are duly fulfilled, and the abstracts live up to the expected international
standards. 

Spontaneously submitted panel contributions that are not accepted by the panel
organizer(s) will be evaluated as individual presentations. Note that you can
submit your abstract for consideration by the organizer(s) of one panel only.
To facilitate your choice, you may download the file with panel abstracts from
the program page.
