Audience
"The conference will have an explicitly interdisciplinary focus. We
welcome contributions from any of the following fields: languages,
linguistics and discourse analysis, media and communication
studies, film and theatre studies, business studies, literary
criticism, anthropology, psychology, education, and cultural and
area studies."
Description
"The aim of the 2003 IALIC conference is to sharpen thinking on
the intercultural narrrative as the main object of analysis. ‘Narrative’
implies story-telling, a form of communication whose role in life
today seems ever more prominent, whether it be in psychological
therapy, business training and evaluation, diary writing,
autobiography, reportage or advertising. ‘Intercultural narrative’
invites reflection on the aesthetic form and pragmatic function of
texts which transcend or transgress linguistic, cultural and generic
boundaries.
The conference will seek to identify and define the properties of the
intercultural narrative in what is commonly described as a
‘post-colonial’ or ‘multi-cultural’ world. Has the intercultural narrative
always existed? Is it the product of recent political, historical and
cultural developments? The aim of conference is both to
reconsider concepts, review practices and develop strategies, and
to reflect on the empirical reality of language in intercultural
communication. Our concerns are as much with practical analysis
as they are with theoretical definition."
