[ecrea] Call for Paper International Association for Dialogue Analysis

The 2017 International Association for Dialogue Analysis (IADA) 
conference will be held from October 11-14, 2017 at the University of 
Bologna (Department of Education) and is sponsored by the School of 
Psychology and Education, the FAM (Fondazione Alma Mater), and the 
International Association for Dialogue Analysis.

The conference focuses on the role of dialogue or interaction in 
displaying, maintaining, creating yet also defying the crucial 
dimensions of the world we live in. This process is particularly at play 
– although not necessarily noticed – in everyday life. Rather than a 
context, this phenomenological notion indicates the obvious, routine, 
quasi-natural quality of most human practices taking place in ordinary 
as well as institutional contexts. Quoting a well-known formula by John 
Heritage (1984) yet applying it beyond the micro-level of the hic et 
nunc discursive environment, we propose to conceive dialogue as “context 
shaped and context renewing”. Overcoming the “interactional 
reductionism” (Levinson, 2005) implied in focusing solely on the 
emergent properties of language use, as well as any simplistic return to 
sociocultural, psychological an even material determinism, dialogue and 
interaction are seen as an “intermediate variable” (Ibidem) or faits 
d’interface (Descola, 2016) connecting the micro-order of everyday life 
and the macro-order of shared culture and social structure. As 
Rommetveit put it forty years ago, dialogue is “the skeleton” or “the 
architecture of intersubjectivity” (1976).

The conference welcomes empirical and methodological papers from 
different disciplinary perspectives that focus on dialogue and 
interaction as carriers of, and tools for culture, social organization, 
moral horizons, identities and change. Theoretical papers are more than 
welcome insofar as they provide some empirical illustration of the 
paper’s theoretical point(s).

The conference includes but it is not limited to, the following subthemes:

Dialogue and Health (e.g. dialogue as therapy; dialogue in clinical 
settings; medical interaction; dialogue in multilingual-multicultural 
healthcare contexts; dialogue in social work).

Dialogue, Justice and Social Change (e.g. dialogue in policing including 
interrogations, citizen calls; criminal, civil and administrative law; 
transidioma and asylum; intercultural institutional talk; social 
conflicts and Alternative Dispute Resolution practices; family and 
social mediation; restorative justice).

Dialogue and Materiality (e.g. inter-objectivity; Actor-Network-Theory; 
things as dialogic entities; humans and non-humans interaction; 
socio-semiotics; dialogue and technologically saturated environment; the 
object’s affordances and the user’s agenda).

Dialogue and Organization (e.g. dialogue as an organizing phenomenon; 
leadership and dialogue; expert-novice interaction; authority and power 
in organizational communication).

Dialogue, Socialization and Education (e.g. dialogue in friendship and 
peer culture; family everyday talk; language socialization; classroom 
talk; dialogue in everyday school-life; assessment as a dialogic 
practice; teachers-parents conference; L2 learning activities; coaching 
and training).

Dialogue, Text and Language (e.g. dialogue as text; dialogue in literary 
texts, CMC and audiovisual texts; text and reader dialogue; textual 
representations of dialogues; dialogue in advertising, advertising as 
dialogue; dialogue in propaganda and political speech; grammar, lexicon 
and cultural norms in everyday talk).

Deadline: 30 November 2016.
