Interactions between societies and information technology

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing the ways people communicate, socialize and collaborate. Understanding the nature and consequences of these new interactions and social transformations is crucial if we want to design and shape a better future where digital technologies become an integral component of our life. The symposium will explore these interactions between society and ICT with a focus on the Humanities. It is organized by Digital Humanities Initiative at Linnaeus University with support from Linnaeus University, DARIAH-EU and Information Engineering Centre.

Advances in research into disabilities in the humanities and social sciences

La conférence vise à offrir une perspective internationale et multidisciplinaire de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales sur le handicap dans sa diversité, du point de vue de ses dimensions socio-historiques et politiques autant que des expériences subjectives des acteurs concernés (les personnes handicapées elles-mêmes et leur entourage, les professionnels du domaine du handicap ainsi que d’autres acteurs sociaux et politiques impliqués). Considérer le handicap comme une catégorie d’analyse est également susceptible d’apporter un éclairage sur les modes d’organisation des sociétés contemporaines.

Les discours politiques dans les pays de langues romanes

Nouvelles perspectives au carrefour des sciences du langage et des sciences sociales

Political discourse is omnipresent in our societies since we have access to a never-ending stream of political messages through media, messages about how the outside world is governed or should be governed. Politics is basically about ideas, ideologies, visions, and arguments, conveyed by language, with which it is closely connected. It is difficult to study one aspect without taking the other into account. In other words, the different approaches (linguistics, discourse analysis, history, political and social sciences) are complementary to each other, as the starting point of analysis is different. Whereas linguistic and discourse analytical approaches have as starting point concrete textual elements and discourse practices (micro-level analyses), the political and social science approach often takes as its starting point society at a macro-structural level. Thus, while the latter gives a picture of general tendencies, the former highlights the practices of individual politicians and political parties.

Mainstream political parties and immigrants: discourses, politicization and participation

IMISCOE Conference 2013 - Workshop 26

The workshop aims to fill existing gaps in the literature on immigrants and political parties. It also aims to consider the current context of economic crisis and retrenchment that the welfare state is playing in redefining existing discourses and practices of political parties as well as their linkages with immigrants and immigrant organisations. In order to advance these questions, it proposes to explore the relation between political parties and immigrants from three perspectives. The first one focuses on mainstream parties and their discourses and stances on immigration. The second one concentrates on parties as players in the politicization of immigration-related conflicts. Finally, the third one proposes to explore the dynamics of participation of immigrants in political parties.

In Search of Peace

Dialogues between theories and practices

The search for peace is longstanding. And yet, the concept remains elusive. Most probably the reason is simple, namely that peace is never fully achieved, it is not an end-point, but rather a constant process of negotiation among different actors regarding the terms of their relationships in a myriad of different arenas.

Didactique du français dans les pays nordiques. Quels défis pour l’enseignement du français en 2013 ?

Dans bien des domaines, mais surtout celui de l’éducation, il est fait mention d’un « modèle nordique ». Cette idée, largement diffusée dans les médias, correspond-elle à une réalité dans l’enseignement des langues, tant au niveau scolaire qu’universitaire ? L’une des ambitions de cette conférence est de comparer les situations et les pratiques dans l’enseignement du français langue étrangère au Danemark, en Finlande, en Islande, en Norvège et en Suède. L’évolution de l’enseignement du français, et l’intérêt – relativement décroissant dans certains contextes – porté à cette langue seront naturellement d’actualité, mais également, de manière plus large, les recherches en didactique du français langue étrangère ou maternelle menées dans ou sur les pays nordiques.

Le transfert des ressources entre générations

Transfers of economic, social and cultural resources from parents to children to a large extent are responsible for the inequalities of opportunity among children of different social origin and for the reproduction of social inequality across generations. To longstanding issues of economic disparities have recently been added important dimensions of family structure and other forms of social capital. These are the issues to be addressed by the ESF Research Conference on The Transfer of Resources across Generations: Family, Income, Human Capital and Children’s Wellbeing. The overarching goal of the conference is to develop and understand basic principles that generate these flows of resources of different kind and extent.
