Meeting Description:

The 8th International Conference on Multicultural Discourses, under
the auspices of the International Association of Multicultural
Discourses, will be co-organised by the Centre for Advanced Studies of
African Society (CASAS), the University of the Western Cape (UWC),
South Africa, and the School of Contemporary Chinese Discourse
Studies, Hangzhou Normal University, China.

The theme of this year's conference is "The Choice/Voice of
Cooperation in the Post-pandemic World".
The event will be hosted by the University of the Western Cape at the
Life Sciences Auditorium, University of the Western Cape (UWC), Robert
Sobukwe Rd, Bellville, Cape Town, South Africa, between October26 -
28, 2023.

The successes of the past seven rounds of the International Conference
on Multicultural Discourses held in China, Brazil, the Netherlands,
and Romania, respectively, have consolidated the position of Cultural
Discourse Studies in the social sciences.

Mankind is witnessing yet again the centennial moment of global
transformation and the world is ridden with grave challenges and great
opportunities.
To answer to these uncertain winds of change, scholars from diverse
fields such as communication, media, language, literature, culture,
history, international relations, etc. are invited to offer their
insights into topics of, but not restricted to:

Discourses of globalization, cultural equality, interconnection;
Discourses of security, conflict, war, peace;
Discourses of protectionism, (in)tangible borders, immigration,
racism;
Discourses of development, cooperation, common prosperity;
Discourses of digital, multimodal, cinematic representations;
Discourses of nuclear armament, climate change, poverty.
