Calls for papers for conferences taking place in July 2024

Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines (CADAAD) Conference: Borders and boundaries in/across discourses.
Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań (Poland). 10-12 July 2024.
Deadline for abstracts: 15 December 2023.

This year’s conference theme is Borders and boundaries in/across discourses. With the invasion of  Ukraine, Europe has yet again seen people moving across borders in search for security and new life  from yet another direction. Around the world, state borders are being fought over and people are  more mobile than ever, including war, climate change, poverty, and post-COVID mobility.  

The conference theme understands borders in a much broader way, including identity (self/other,  us/them), time (past/present), politics (left/right, mainstream/extreme), and society  (public/private), as well as borders within and between academic fields (quantitative/qualitative,  interdisciplinarity) and those that exist between research and praxis. 

As with previous CADAAD conferences, we are also happy to see abstracts of discourse analytical  work from any field that looks at, among others: 

  • Post/de/anti-Colonialism 
  • Corporate and organisational communication 
  • Culture, cultural studies, and cultural promotion 
  •  Education 
  •  Environment and environmentalism 
  • Mental or physical health 
  • Gender & sexuality 
  • News and (social) media analysis 
  • Protest and social movements 

Plenary speakers

  • Zohar Kampf (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) 
  • Witold Klaus (Migration Consortium) 
  • Michał Krzyżanowski (Uppsala University)

Presentation of the event

The theme of the 2024 symposium will be “Dickens, Context and Co-occurrence”. We invite you think of the various contexts that Dickens’s works are set in, connect to, and imagine. Contexts are where things co-occur – with various effects. Topics of papers can cover Dickens and the context of theatre, the world of fashion, or the natural environment; Dickens and changing contexts through travel, translation, and time; contexts of family and friends; you may also want to think about the relationship between real world contexts and the textual contexts of the words on the page. As is the case every year, proposals on other aspects of Dickens’s life and works are welcome, too. 

Please submit your abstract of 300 words (maximum) and bio of 150 words (maximum) to dickens2024@contacts.bham.ac.uk. Deadline: 15 January 2024.

Please note that you need to be a member of the Dickens Society to present at the annual symposium. Membership is conferred by subscription to the Dickens Quarterly. Find out more here.

Details about travel, accommodation, and the conference programme will be posted and updated on the Dickens Society website. 

For any questions, please contact dickens2024@contacts.bham.ac.uk
