>CONFERENCE THEME
>The object-of-study =E2=80=98dialogue=E2=80=99 and its representation
>
>One basic issue of Dialogue Analysis draws on the problem of how to
>represent the object =E2=80=98dialogue=E2=80=99. There is no generally agre=
>ed concept
>of dialogue; various perspectives can be taken which result in
>different concepts of dialogue and correspondingly in different
>methodologies of Dialogue Analysis. Besides competence models which
>search for underlying rules and performance models which focus on
>ever-varying spoken language or individual inferences, there is the
>model of competence-in-performance which tries to grasp how human
>beings come to grips with dialogue in real life. Research could start
>from spoken discourse or reflect the =E2=80=98model of the mixed game=E2=80=
>=99 which
>mediates between order and disorder and combines regularity and
>individuality. All issues could be looked at both on a case-analysis
>basis and on a more theoretical approach.
>
>Papers are invited which address this basic question of the
>relationship between the object dialogue and the methodology of
>representation. We also invite researchers to submit proposals that
>more generally address the connections of representation with
>dialogue, which can be problematized in at least the six following
>ways:
>
>1. Dialogue as representation (1)
>Etymologically, representing means "making something or someone
>present." Applied to a dialogic situation, this acceptation of the
>term invites to insist on the actional dimension of activities of
>representation, which then leads to questions of representativeness,
>spokespersons, translation, incarnation, embodiment, materialization,
>truth, etc.
>
>2. Dialogue as representation (2)
>In many different ways, dialogue (as a space or dimension of concrete
>exchanges) functions as a means of representation of entities:
>political, social, organizational, ethical, etc. Said otherwise, if
>the emphasis in (1) is placed on the content and character manifested
>in dialogue, here the emphasis could be on the dialogue itself as it
>functions as a locus of expression of social entities.
>
>3. Representations on effective dialogue
>These approaches could procure a critical and/or metatheoretical
>analysis of the ways in which dialogue occurs about representation, in
>terms of practical modalities but also in terms of criteria of
>validity and success in representation (relevance, sufficient
>adequacy).
>
>4. Normative perspectives on dialogue/representation issues
>The questions of dialogue evaluation are manifold and could be
>considered more closely here. Norms of dialogue include formalizations
>about competence, performance and their combination but also the
>relationships between Bakhtinian perspectives on dialogue and critical
>perspectives assuming that dialogue permits to overcome some limits of
>representation, for instance by recourse to co-construction of
>problems and descriptions.
>
>5. Representation of dialogue (1)
>How can dialogic language use be represented? The idea of
>representation is an opportunity to connect dialogue studies with a
>plurality of rich trends of thinking and research: Kenneth Burke=E2=80=99s
>rhetoric, Goffman=E2=80=99s interactionism, Bakhtin=E2=80=99s convergence o=
>f logics
>can give a context for the theme of representation as a scene, a
>display of roles or a distribution of relationships. Representation of
>dialogue could also be discussed in terms of schematism, graphical
>figurations or mapping of dialogue settings.
>
>6. Representation of dialogue (2)
>Representation frames, theories, or constructs can be seen as somehow
>expressing forms or manifestations of dialogic experiences or
>expressions. These theoretical constructs could be articulated as
>deformations of dialogue or as valid expressions.
