Language - Communication - Culture
Evora, Portugal, Nov. 27 30, 2002
2nd Announcement and Cfp
The =93English in the World: New Directions=94 team, at the University of=20
Evora, and the English Culture Studies Group, at the University of Lisbon,=
=20
decided earlier this year, after consultations which took place during and=
=20
after the Fifth International English Culture Conference held in Lisbon on=
=20
Nov. 28-30, 2001, to co-organise an International Conference that could=20
combine, and give a wider scope to, their distinct but complementary=20
projects - the Evora project with its focus on the role, developments and=20
prospects of English in the world, both as the language of communication=20
and culture in English-speaking nations and as a second and foreign=20
language, the lingua franca of communication and culture in the major=20
contemporary transnational flows; the Lisbon project with its focus on a=20
social sciences and humanities approach to culture and major contemporary=20
themes, problematics and theories.
The theme chosen for this new International Conference, Language -=20
Communication - Culture, accordingly plays a descriptive and a theoretical=
=20
role. On the one hand, it brings the two projects together, opening the=20
English language focus of one to wider interdisciplinary concerns, and=20
grounding the other in the English language, its contexts and practices,=20
its conditions and means (the Englishes of the English-speaking nations and=
=20
the =93new englishes=94 of transnational communication). On the other hand,=
the=20
theme offers Communication as a theoretical linking term between language=20
and culture.
Different sessions are being prepared by members of the organising=20
committee (names and e-mail addresses below) and their themes will be=20
announced in the coming weeks
