CfP: First International Young Scholars Symposium: Discourse, Ideology and Society

Organised by the Discourse and Culture Academic Society (DISCAS)

Łódź, Poland,18-20 March 2011

First Circular - Call for Papers

We have the pleasure to announce that the first international young scholars symposium on Discourse, Ideology, and Society will take place in Łódź, Poland, on March 18-20, 2011. Our goal is to provide a platform where young researchers can share their expertise, interest, and passion for discourse and its multiple social, political, and cultural contexts.

This inter-disciplinary conference intends to explore the notion of discourse as socially constituted and constitutive, historically shaped, ideologically conditioned, and culturally embedded, and to promote multidisciplinarity and integration across various fields of discourse and representation-related research. Bridging the gap between qualitative and quantitative approaches, we want to look for new effective solutions and tools that will allow us to cope with methodological challenges and will make it possible to address the discourse-society dialectics in a novel comprehensive way.
