[ecrea] EiD II: Call for Papers

The 2nd International Europe in Discourse Conference

AGENDAS OF REFORM

Athens, 21-23 September 2018

FINAL EXTENSION for Call for Papers

We would like to announce that the Call for Papers for the 2nd 
International Europe in Discourse Conference “Agendas of Reform” has 
been extended. We invite you to submit your abstracts by July 15th 2018 
using the guidelines mentioned in the Call.

Agendas of Reform starts from the conviction that the time has come for 
a dialogue between those who talk about Europe and those who “do” 
Europe. For political analysts, historians, economists and policy-makers 
in Brussels the Conference will be an opportunity to discuss the future 
of Europe in terms of the concepts that have shaped the EU to date, such 
as enlargement, integration, and institutional reform. For communication 
and language analysts, the Conference will be a chance to interact with 
experts from other disciplines and explore the communication 
perspectives of polity building in the European Union. For all of us it 
will be an opportunity to reflect on what agendas of reform are likely 
to succeed and how the hopes reflected in such agendas can best be 
communicated to the people of Europe. Discourse plays an important role 
in any discussion about Europe. Talking about the topics that have 
informed Europe cannot be divorced from the language that was used to 
construct it in the first place. How could one talk about Islam and EU 
without looking at the cultural assumptions that underlie the variant 
national discourses? How can we talk about enlargement or integration 
without looking at the discourses prompted by Brexit? How can we 
construct a new narrative about Europe without evaluating the values and 
the discourses that will shape it?

Europe in Discourse is an initiative that builds on the premises of 
“Discourse in Society". We invite you, therefore, to take part in a 
conference that will foreground long socioeconomic and political 
problems of Europe through the lens of discourse analysis. We continue 
to seek your input as linguists and discourse analysts to diagnose the 
discursive template(s) that make up Europe today and shape the various 
European identities.

The 2nd Europe in Discourse Conference Agendas of Reform invites papers 
from a broad range of fields and perspectives on the following topics:

Values-based Reform, from Enlargement to Legitimization

Completing the EMU

EU Security and Defense

The Franco-German Relationship

The Transatlantic Dimension

The European Union and Islam

Greece and the European Union

Since Agendas of Reform follows the 1st Europe in Discourse Conference, 
contributions on the so-called “poly-crisis” of the EU, the refugee 
crisis and European populism on the right and the left are also welcome.

We particularly welcome contributions on the following Conference Themes:

The Refugee crisis in EU discourses

Anti-immigration and discourses of fear

Historical, geo-cultural, geo-economic and geopolitical aspects of 
European identities

Europe: super-diverse and globalized

Images of crisis and recovery in Europe

Conceptual blending, discourse and metaphors about Europe

Populist discourses and the EU

Educational discourses in the EU

European diversity through religion and culture

Discursive constructions of borders

Political discourse in the European Union

Media constructions of European identities

EU multilingualism

Linguistic plurality in EU

Presentation Formats and Abstracts

Proposals are welcome as oral communications and themed panels.

papers, each to be delivered within 30 minutes (a 20-minute presentation

presenters should be omitted from the document to enable double-blind

Evaluation Process

All abstracts will be blind peer-reviewed and ranked by the Conference 
Scientific Committee. In their review, the Committee will consider the 
degree to which the presentation makes a contribution to the development 
of the discipline, points to future research agendas, or presents 
innovative or interdisciplinary approaches, including novel 
collaborations or syntheses across sub-disciplines or with other related 
disciplines. A proposal may be given higher priority if clearly linked 
to one or more of the conference themes.

Notification

Notification of acceptance of oral communications and panels will be 
sent by August 5th, 2018.

One-Presentation Rule

Presenters are entitled to submit only one abstract as a first author. 
Speakers agreeing to present papers in panels also follow the 
one-presentation rule, i.e. someone who is first author or presenter 
cannot also be first author or presenter for another paper.
