Meeting Description:

Dear Language, Literature and Culture Scholars,

the Institute of Humanities of the State Academy of Applied Sciences
in Krosno, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, St. Mary’s University
College, Queen’s University, Belfast, and Cracow Tertium Society for
the Promotion of Language Studies invite you to take part in the
international conference entitled: Across Borders Conference Ten,
which will be held on 23-25 September 2024 in Krosno, Poland under the
leading theme:

Difficult Neighbourhoods: The Semiotics of Conflict in Culture,
Literature and Language.

If a culture defines itself by reference to shared values and symbols,
it does so primarily by contrast to the values and symbols shared by
another culture, often a neighbouring one.  The neighbourhood of
nations gives rise to numerous conflicts of interest, and the
conflicting views are expressed in semiotic acts that involve
contrast, dissent, opposition or hostility in relation to the
neighbours. Many wars and revolutions have been preceded by a semiotic
construction of conflict and then represented through the language of
conflict.

This conference aims to discuss the semiotics and pragmatics of
conflict in various discourses of borders and neighbourhoods —
geographical, political, religious, ethnic, linguistic, both real and
imagined – expressed in widely understood texts of culture.  In recent
years, in response to the growing role of infotainment in media and
the rise of populism and fake news in the public sphere,  the
discourse of conflict has adopted elements of amusement and
entertainment.

The conference will be held under the auspices of the Rector of the
State Academy of Applied Sciences in Krosno, Professor Zbigniew
Barabasz.

The language of the conference is English.

The conference will be held on site in Krosno, Poland.

Selected papers presented at the conference will be published.

2nd Call for Papers:
