>CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>We warmly invite you to submit a proposal for the 4th IALIC 
>conference.  The conference, which has as its main themeThe Intercultural 
>Narrative, proposes to investigate the various forms of this emerging 
>genre, its theoretical foundations and its sociopolitical 
>implications.  In the context of the conference, narrative may be 
>interpreted in the widest sense as encompassing art, film, music, 
>photography, literature and documentary as well as the various media 
>through which it is expressed.  We understand its object to be that of 
>capturing the state of being 'between cultures' as a consequence of 
>physical or psychological displacement, a principle which may be reflected 
>in the content and structure of the narrative and in the combination of 
>media employed.  It raises questions of identity: how identity is 
>constructed through narrative, whether the ideal of coherence is 
>attainable... and also the ethical implications of attempting to 'narrate 
>the other', at the level of the individal or, between communities, through 
>ethnographic study.  It also raises questions of genre: what generic forms 
>does the intercultural narrative take and how do its different discourses 
>interact?  Finally, it will consider the processes of articulation between 
>intercultural narratives and their social contexts.  The conference is 
>interdisciplinary and is intended to appeal to researchers in the Arts and 
>Humanities as much as to historians, social scientists and cultural 
>theoreticians.  It is being organised jointly by the International 
>Association for Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC) and the 
>Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) at Lancaster University with 
>sponsorship from The British Academy, the Institut Français and the Goethe 
>Institut.  The conference will include an independent forum to which 
>contributions are also invited, on the pedagogical implications of 
>intercultural study within Higher Education.  This will be co-ordinated by 
>the UK Subject Centre for Language, Linguistics and Area Studies (see LTSN 
>home page).
>
>Keynote Speakers: David Bellos, Princeton University, Carolyn Cooper, 
>University of the West Indies, Günther Kress, London Institute of 
>Education, Crispin Thurlow, Washington State University.
>
>Keynote Interlocutors in a special debate on the roles and 
>responsibilities of the 'intercultural author': Ismail Kadare (The File on 
>H., Albanian Spring...) and Herta Müller (Herztier/The Land of Green Plums...).
