Dear list members and colleagues
There is still time to submit an abstract for the following forthcoming
conference:
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 the 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.
