***Apologies for cross-posting***

 

Dear List-members,

We are pleased to announce the following forthcoming conference and call for papers: 

 

 

 

Travelling Languages: 

Culture, Communication and Translation in a Mobile World

 

10th Annual Conference of the International Association of Languages and Intercultural Communication 

 

In association with 

 

School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Leeds 

and 

Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change, Leeds Metropolitan University

 

03-05 December 2010, Leeds, United Kingdom 

 

The world is ever 'on the move'. The opportunities and challenges of both real and virtual travel are very much at the heart of the emergent interdisciplinary field of 'mobilities', which deals with the movement of peoples, objects, capital, information and cultures across an increasingly globalised and apparently borderless world. In the practices, processes and performances of moving - whether for voluntary leisure, forced migration or economic pragmatism - we are faced with the negotiation and re-negotiation of identities and meaning relating to places and pasts. 

 

Within the increasing complexities of global flows and encounters, intercultural skills and competencies are being challenged and and re-imagined. The vital role of languages and the intricacies of intercultural dialogue have largely remained implicit in the discourses surrounding mobilities. This Conference seeks to interrogate the role of intercultural communication and of languages in the inevitable moments of encounter which arise from all forms of 'motion'.

 

This international and interdisciplinary event is the 10th anniversary conference of the International Association of Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC) and is being organised in association with the Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change. Through this event we aim to bring together many of the sub-themes of previous IALIC conferences and focus upon the issues of culture, communication and translation in a mobile world, including: languages and intercultural communication in local and global education, tourism, hospitality, migration, translation, real and virtual border-crossings. 

 

CALL FOR PAPERS
