While "discourse" has long been an object of investigation in many disciplines, the contours of a new field of transdisciplinary research are now coming to the fore: Discourse Studies. Known for theoretical orientations and methodological tools at the intersection of language and society, discourse research usually deals with social phenomena with a particular focus on the entanglements of power and language. While Discourse Studies has resulted from the exchange between numerous strands and approaches which deal with the social production of meaning, an increasing need for interdisciplinary exchange can now be observed. The 2nd International DiscourseNet Congress at Warwick (DNC#2) aims to represent the many strands, schools, and perspectives in Discourse Studies, from the humanities to the social sciences, from strictly interpretive to quantifying methodologies, from discourse as a situated practice to discourse as socially distributed knowledge.

Los nuevos medios de comunicación y las tecnologías de la información son, actualmente, una poderosa herramienta para diferentes intercambios. No sólo han transformado los modos de intercambio de la información sino que han modificado también las formas de producción y de consumo en todos los dominios. En efecto, bitácoras o weblogs, buscadores, diarios digitales, películas, fotografías digitales o redes sociales se han integrado totalmente tanto en el campo de la comunicación intercultural como en el mundo de los negocios. De ahí, que se pregunte en este congreso sobre el valor y el impacto intercultural y económico de estas nuevas formas de comunicación.

Ejes temáticos:

Diversidad cultural, nuevos medios y contextos:  El nuevo lenguaje de las redes sociales, Libertad de creencias y “choque” cultural en los nuevos medios y Producciones literarias y artísticas en las nuevas formas de comunicación

Nuevos medios y poder, retos interculturales: El nuevo paisaje mediático y su impacto en la elaboración de los derechos humanos, El impacto de los nuevos medios en el empoderamiento o en la subordinación de las mujeres, Nuevos medios y el poder de las minorías y  Nuevos medios, piratería o la información globalizada

Nuevos medios, comunicación y gestión empresarial intercultural: Economía y globalización cultural, Nuevos medios y Gestión de los Recursos Humanos, Nuevos medios y marketing, Nuevos medios y las nuevas modalidades de financiación (crowdfunding, bancos en línea…), Los retos de la gestión de la logística y Sistemas de información y de comunicación

This biannual conference brings together researchers from across Europe and overseas with the aim of communicating results from their research. It also provides a forum for discussion of recent, high-quality research on first and second language acquisition, bi/multilingual acquisition, heritage language acquisition, language pathology and language impairment, the acquisition of sign language and brain imaging research for acquisition and pathology. Language acquisition studies are central to building our understanding of human language and how it develops in the brain. The field has witnessed a continuous growth during the past three decades.

O tema do evento, a saber, «Transnacionalização, multi e interculturalidade linguística e literária», foi escolhido tendo em vista que as pesquisas e o ensino de língua e de literatura portuguesa transpassam as discussões sobre cultura, identidade, dentre outros aspectos e práticas sociais.
Barra do Garças, localizada no centro geodésico do Brasil, é conhecida como Portal da Amazônia e faz divisa com Goiás no encontro dos rios Garças e Araguaia, além de ser circundada por terras indígenas, portanto, é espaço de grande diversidade étnico-cultural, social e política.
Além disso, essa região do Araguaia é agraciada por belezas naturais como: cachoeiras grutas, praias, parques «Águas Quentes» e «Serra Azul», o que, também, é um convite para entremear as reflexões no percurso do evento.

Minority languages have long been used by different groups of social actors for identity and community building purposes, such as the symbolic, material, and political mobilisation of linguistic and cultural rights. Currently, under changing political, economic and cultural conditions around the world, minority languages are subject to multiple, overlapping and even contradictory discourses and practices of valuation and revaluation. The peripheral position of minority languages, as structured by nation-state logics, and the central role endowed to them in the political projects of various minority groups are now complexified by both the increasing economic value of minority languages as a resource of distinction and authenticity, and by the intensified mobility of languages and their speakers. Some of the consequences of this complexification result in re-evaluating relationship between minority and migrant languages and the trajectories of so-called “new speakers” of minority languages.

The Association will hold its 39th Conference, organised jointly by the University of East Anglia, University of Cambridge and University of Nottingham. The conference will take place at the University of East Anglia with accommodation available at Group Accommodation, UEA. You are cordially invited to offer a paper, panel, or workshop presentation. Proposals for individual papers as well as panels on specific themes (max. four papers per panel) are encouraged. Any proposed panel should be organised by one convenor who will be responsible for inviting the speakers and chairing the session. You are also invited to suggest any speakers you think would be willing to offer a paper, but please note that ACIS does not normally offer a fee or expenses for speakers. ACIS encourages proposals from postgraduate students and a small number of partial conference fee bursaries are available – please see application process details below and encourage your students to consider this.
 
Below are the suggested thematic areas for papers and panels, which must advance understanding of contemporary socio-cultural, economic and political issues and realities and relate primarily to Spain and/or Portugal and transnational issues and processes relating to the Iberian Peninsula within the wider Lusophone and Hispanic worlds.. Both single-disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives are encouraged and the themes listed below are not exclusive.

• Politics, Government, International Relations, the EU, Nationalism, Regionalisms, Transnational issues and processes
• Economics, Business, Labour, Social and Welfare issues
• Cultural production in all its forms (e.g. film, television, journalism, literature, media, advertising, digital communication & social networking)
• Social and Cultural Studies (e.g. identity, gender, ethnicity, popular culture)
• Leisure, Tourism, Sport
• Contemporary history
• Language, Linguistics, Language Policy
• Education and Pedagogy

The selection of panels/papers will be made by the Conference programme convenors in consultation with the Executive Committee and these decisions will be final. Papers will be allocated 30 minutes on the programme (20 mins for the paper 10 mins for discussion). We will shortly be announcing the keynote speakers for the conference on our ACIS website. Keynote speakers in previous years have included novelist Use Lahoz, journalist and writer Elvira Lindo, historian and diplomat Professor Angel Viñas and the Association’s President, historian Professor Paul Preston.
