Conference strands may include: Ortega and phenomenology; the impact of Ortega’s thought on Iberian, European and Latin-American cultures and literatures from 1914 to the 1970s; La deshumanización del arte [The Dehumanization of Art] and Ideas sobre la novela [Ideas on the Novel] against the background of Anglo-Saxon Modernism(s) and/or the European avant-garde movements of the 1920s and 1930s; Ortega’s perspective on gender; Brexit in the light of Ortega’s conceptualization of Europe; La rebelión de las masas [The Revolt of the Masses] and the new «populisms».

This second conference brings together an international group of researchers from a range of scholarly perspectives to explore, discuss and debate a series of case studies on the visual construction and projection of women’s political identity in medieval and early modern Spain and Portugal. The papers explore a number of critical perspectives that range from the portrayal of Queens and their household to the discourse on female piety and spirituality, both in the court and beyond to lower social strata. The role of women’s agency within the structures of patriarchal society and discourse that underscored much of visual culture is addressed in a number of insightful ways. Furthermore, the range of papers engages with prescient methodological issues facing the study of the visual dimensions of female political identity. 

In addition this conference is pleased to announce a plenary lecture by Juliet Perkins, King’s College London.

This event has been funded by the CHAM — Centre for the Humanities; and the Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at the University of Nottingham.

Enseñanza de la lengua, Lingüística, Morfología, Semántica

Tense locates the situation we speak about in time, which is crucial for adequate comprehension. Can a clause or a language be tenseless, then? Infinitives and many languages in the world lack tense indication (e.g., Mandarin Chinese, Salishan Lillooet, Halkomelem, in British Columbia, Algonquian Blackfoot in Alberta, Kalaallisut in Greenland, Guaraní and Ayoreo in Paraguay, Yucatec Maya in Mexico, Navajo in Southern US, or Hausa in West Africa). However, to discern whether such absence signals phonologically null morphemes or absence of Tense altogether is intricate. While Matthewson (2006) defends that tense content cannot be ruled out for Blackfoot, Ritter & Wiltschko (2014) argue that person and location constitute the substance of Inflection. In the absence of tense, other categories, e.g., Mood (in Kalaallisut, Bittner 2014 or Hausa, Mucha 2015) or Aspect (Lin 2012 for Chinese) establish temporal interpretation. However, whether these are mere tendencies and how exactly this should be formalised (Klein et al 2000) is debated. Finally, what light can uninflected forms (infinitives) shed onto the issue? Some authors (Wurmbrand 2014) argue all are tenseless, while others (Stowell 1982) defend only certain types are with aspect being the temporal provider too (Stowell 2007; Zwart 2014).

Enseñanza de la lengua

The purpose of the conference is to bring together academics and language teachers working in Higher Education in the UK and internationally to discuss the nature and challenges presently faced in the field of language learning. This conference intends to:

• Push forward the under-researched field of speaking skills by showcasing original research and innovative practice.
• Support a closer integration of language learning theory and pedagogical practice.
• Bridge the gap between MFL, EFL and EAP and provide a forum for all practitioners to develop collaborative projects, across language education regardless of the discipline.
• Act as a catalyst for collaboration across institutions.

The focus will be towards the enhancement of speaking skills with the following sub-themes:
Theoretical and practical approaches to:

• Pronunciation and intonation
• Pragmatics and interaction
• Cognitivism on speaking skills
• Assessment and Proficiency Level Bench-marking (including the CEFR)
• Motivation
• Technology to enhance language learning
• Task-based Teaching and Learning
• Learning outside the classroom
• Enhancing students’ employability through the development of speaking skills
