[ecrea] 4th international symposium on discourse analysis: Discourses and Social Inequalities

In the wake of the international symposia at the Universidade Federal de 
Minas Gerais in 1997, 2002 and 2008, and so many other important events 
organized by several Brazilian and foreign research teams which 
consolidate Discourse Analysis as a discipline, the IV International 
Symposium on Discourse Analysis, an initiative of the Discourse Analysis 
Nucleus (NAD) of the Faculty of Language and Literature of the Federal 
University of Minas Gerais, intends once more to be a space for debates 
and discussions between Brazilian and foreign professors, researchers, 
undergraduate and post-graduate students on one of the most relevant 
themes within contemporary world context, namely, the person that 
articulates discourse and social inequalities. The event comprises 
seminars, round-tables, individual and coordinated communications, 
mini-courses, posters and launching of books. The event will provide a 
wide range of types of participation to all and will reinforce the 
interdisciplinary characte
 ristics of Discourse Analysis and its importance within Linguistic and 
Discursive Studies.

The Symposium´s central theme, dealing with discourse and inequality, is 
a broad and transdisciplinary subject. It will surely favor the 
participation of the different trends in discourse studies, language 
sciences and related disciplines. The theme involves issues related to 
socio-economical, ethnic, racial, gender, professional, political, 
juridical, religious, scientific, media, literary, publicity, linguistic 
diversity, familial, regional, geographic, identitarian, educational, 
architectural, urban inequalities and others. The relationship between 
discourse and inequality is underscored in contemporary debates, 
regardless of the geographical, national or cultural context, not only 
on the social plane, the external space for discourse production, but 
also on the internal, linguistic and enunciation one.

The IV International Symposium on Discourse Analysis intends to 
highlight these subject matters since it is an issue that comprises all 
social and human relationships, passing necessarily through discourse, 
language, conditions of production, emergence, resistance, circulation 
and representation. It will not be a mere discussion on social 
inequality in its political, ideological and economic aspects, albeit 
highly relevant, but the identification and investigation of the 
function and representation of inequality in and by language and its 
several ways of functioning within different discursive practices.

The Organizing Committee also expects that you advertise the Symposium 
invitation within your Institution and among your colleagues
