Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2009 14:09:39 +0200 Subject: [Interpretationandmethods] RaAM 8 metaphor conference call for abstracts Message-ID: RaAM 8 conference: Metaphor and Domains of Discourse We are pleased to announce the 8th conference of the Researching and Applying Metaphor International Association (RaAM), which will be held at VU University (Vrije Universiteit), Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 30 June through 3 July 2010. As an association, RaAM strives to advance the study of metaphor, metonymy and other aspects of figurative language, with a commitment to the application of metaphor research to 'real world' issues. In light of this, the theme of the upcoming international conference will be 'metaphor and domains of discourse'. The theme is intended to highlight the socio-cultural as well as the situational diversity of metaphor as manifested in, for example: -- government and politics; -- religion and ethics; -- education; -- science and healthcare; -- business and organizations; -- mass media and journalism; and -- literature and the arts. The conference will feature plenary lectures by: - Paul Chilton http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/profiles/Paul-Chilton/ Dept. of Linguistics and English Language Lancaster University, UK - Dedre Gentner http://www.psych.northwestern.edu/psych/people/faculty/gentner/ Dept. of Psychology and School of Education and Social Policy Northwestern University, USA and an address by the outgoing Chair of the RaAM Executive Committee: - Lynne Cameron http://www.open.ac.uk/education-and-languages/people/people-profile.php?sta ff_id=1618003&show=researchInterests Faculty of Education and Language Studies Open University, UK We are soliciting abstracts for 20-minute papers and for poster presentations. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words (excluding references). Updates, including a link to the conference web site and information on abstract submission, will be posted shortly at http://www.raam.org.uk/Amsterdam_2010.html. The deadline for abstracts is 31 December 2009. Notification of acceptance decisions will be sent by 1 March 2010. Early registration will be open between 1 March and 30 April 2010. The conference will also include a new way of linking basic and applied research: in addition to regular papers and a poster session, a selection of 'real world workshops' will be offered. The workshops will involve demonstrations for, and with, conference participants on how metaphor can be used as an intervention or tool to change people's way of thinking and reasoning. 'Real world workshops' will be offered on: -- Metaphor in communicating public interest issues (Joseph Grady, Cultural Logic, USA) -- Metaphor in business organizations (Joep Cornelissen, Leeds University Business School, UK) -- Metaphor in education professionals' discourse (Graham Low, University of York, UK) -- Metaphor in knowledge management (Daan Andriessen, INHolland University of Applied Sciences, NL) -- Metaphor and metonymy in painting (Irene Mittelberg, RWTH Aachen University, Germany) - Metaphor in product design (Paul Hekkert, Technical University Delft, NL). A number of pre-conference tutorials, geared toward PhD students, will be offered on 30 June before the conference begins. Furthermore, a limited number of bursaries/stipends will be available for PhD students from the RaAM Executive Committee and the local organising committee. Details will be available in the second call for abstracts and the conference web site.

This apology was significant, in the words of Rudd, for the 'healing' of the Australian nation. Apologizing for past injustices has become a significant speech act in current times. Why does saying sorry seem to be ubiquitous at the moment? What are the instances of not saying sorry? What are the ethical implications of this era of remembrance and apology? This set of commentaries seeks to explore some of the ethical, philosophical, social and political dimensions of this Age of Apology. The authors discuss whether apology is a responsibility which cannot - and should not - be avoided; the ethical pitfalls of seeking an apology, or not uttering it; the global and local understandings of apology and forgiveness; and the processes of ownership and appropriation in saying sorry.

This was not her choice of wording but it shows the kinds of inroads that interpretive approaches are (and should be) making in regional/thematic conferences like ASN. BTW, ASN is a conference that has largely been focused on Eastern and Southern Europe *but* they have been actively trying to expand themselves geographically and thematically. More than one Africanist has presented there and felt very welcome, for example!

SCREENING of New Documentaries SPECIAL ROUNDTABLES on New Books AWARDS for Best Doctoral Student Papers SPECIAL EVENTS sponsored by the ASN Journal Nationalities Papers The ASN Convention, the most attended international and inter-disciplinary scholarly gathering of its kind, welcomes proposals on a wide range of topics related to nationalism, ethnicity, ethnic conflict and national identity in Central Europe, the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, the Caucasus, the Turkic world, and Central Eurasia. The Convention also invites proposals devoted to comparative perspectives on nationalism-related issues in other regions of the world, as well as theoretical approaches that need not be grounded in any particular geographic region. Disciplines represented include political science, history, anthropology, sociology, international studies, security studies, area studies, economics, geography and geopolitics, sociolinguistics, literature, psychology, and related fields The Convention is inviting paper, panel, roundtable, or special presentation proposals for three special thematic sidebars: ??History, Politics and Memory,? on the construction and contestation of the memory of historical events in sites, political discourse and historical research; ??Interpretive and Cognitive Approaches in Ethnography," on the richness and breadth of findings in the increasingly popular contextual approach to the study of nationalism and ethnicity; ??The Resurgence of Russia: Domestic and Foreign Policy Implications,? on the transformation in the discourse, policies and practices of the Russia internally and externally. To celebrate the re-launch of Nationalities Papers, the opening reception of the convention will be hosted by Nationalities Papers at which occasion the re-launched journal will be introduced by the editorial team. During the convention, Nationalities Papers will host the first Nationalities Debate, a high profile discussion on the state of the art, which will be subsequently featured in the journal. Since 2005, the ASN Convention has acknowledged excellence in graduate studies research by offering Awards for Best Doctoral Student Papers in five sections: Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus, Central Asia/Eurasia, Central Europe, Balkans, and Nationalism Studies. The winners at the 2009 Convention were Sofia Sebastian (LSE, UK) for the Balkans, Jennie Schulze (George Washington U, US) for Central Europe, Erik Scott (UC Berkeley, US) for Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus, Fredrik Sjoberg (Harvard U, US/Uppsala U, Sweden) and Barbara Junisbai (Indiana U, US) for Central Eurasia, and Laia Balcells (Yale U, US) for Nationalism Studies. Doctoral student applicants whose proposals are accepted for the 2010 Convention, who will not have defended their dissertation by 1 November 2009, and whose papers are delivered by the deadline, will automatically be considered for the awards. The 2010 Convention is, moreover, inviting submissions for documentaries made within the past few years and available in DVD format (either NTSC or PAL). Most films selected for the convention will be screened during regular panel slots and will be followed by a discussion moderated by an academic expert. Films on the 2009 Program included The Singing Revolution (US, 2008), Holodomor (Hungary, 2008), Shadow of the Holy Book (Finland, 2008), The Lost Colony (Netherlands, 2008) and Citizens K: The ?K? Twins (France, 2007). The 2010 Convention invites proposals for INDIVIDUAL PAPERS or PANELS. A panel includes a chair, three or four presentations based on written papers, and a discussant. Proposals using an innovative format are encouraged. A popular new format is a roundtable on a new book, in which the author is being engaged by three discussants ? ten book panels were featured in the 2009 Convention. Other innovative formats in proposals are encouraged. The 2010 Convention is also welcoming offers to serve as DISCUSSANT on a panel to be created by the Program Committee from individual paper proposals. The application to be considered as discussant can be self-standing, or accompanied by an individual paper proposal. There is NO APPLICATION FORM to fill out in order to send proposals to the convention, BUT A FACT SHEET IS REQUIRED; TO BE DOWNLOADED AT www.nationalities.org.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <67A65C0C441B4CA2A15DC870ED6A591C@DS> Fascinating case, and perhaps it will have implications for e-voting elsewhere. I am personally afraid that pseudo-democrats looking to diversify their portfolio of ways to manipulate election outcomes will find this a useful vindication. (We see this in several post-Soviet authoritarian contexts already, where electronic voting systems are all the rage.) Just like with the paper-and-pen ballots, it's not the technology itself but how it's used/abused that matters most.

Consistently ranked within the top 10 public administration journals as defined by the Thomson Social Science Citation Index, PA has also seen readership expand dramatically over the past decade to reflect the high quality of its content and investment in its online presence. Annual submission levels have increased by 135% since 2000. Publishing articles on public administration, public policy and public management, PA's reach is inclusive and largely comparative in nature. A high percentage of articles are sourced from the enlarging Europe and cover all aspects of West and East European public administration, and in recent years the editorial team has made a conscious decision to build the journal?s profile within Asia and the USA. PA has three main objectives: ? To stimulate scholarly and practitioner dialogue in public administration, public management and policy analysis. ? To encourage critical, comparative analysis. ? To publish articles which are theoretically rigorous and of a broad and vivid current interest. In 2011, Rod Rhodes will stand down as Editor of Public Administration after 25 years in post. Wiley-Blackwell is therefore seeking a new editor to lead the journal from 2011. Successful candidates would be responsible for the editorship of PA for an initial term of three years, with the option to stay on for one further term. Applicants for the position should be well read across the board, with knowledge of current developments in the field. They should display a commitment to attracting the best scholarship for publication in PA and to spending the time needed to actively seek out material and promote the journal. Editorial experience and familiarity with journal publishing will be an advantage and organisational skills are essential. Applicants will need to work both electronically, using an online submission and peer review system (training will be available), and flexibly, as workload varies according to the publication cycle. Applicants will need to demonstrate that they would have the full support of their department should they be appointed, and be able to specify others who would be part of the editorial team.

State-defined categories and policy labels such as the unemployed, disabled, 'poor', elderly, tax-payers, youth at risk, (im)migrants, 'aliens' or refugees, 'African-Americans' or 'Moroccan-French' define individuals' entitlement to or exclusion from welfare provisions, unemployment benefits, voting rights, or rights of residence. Category-making and labeling are also central to the definition of an issue as a policy problem, and a classic research topic in key areas of political science such as public policy, public administration, interpretive policy analysis, political discourse analysis, political theory, IR, and gender and politics. This workshop will seek to explore the political implications and consequences of categorization by the state and other political actors, and examine how public policy categorization relates to processes of identity construction, political inclusion and exclusion. We will solicit papers drawing from the broad range of interpretive methods used within political research, including discourse/textual/narrative analysis, frame analysis, semiotics, metaphor analysis, ethnographic research, historical analysis, etc. The workshop particularly welcomes two types of contributions: (1) substantive papers that explore particular examples of categorization and labeling in policy or political arenas and (2) methodological papers which use the analysis of categorisation practices as a basis for raising methodological questions. http://www.ecprnet.eu/joint_sessions/munster/workshop_details.asp?workshopID=15 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[also in Word doc, attached] The 5th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations & Public Policy in memory of Yitzhak Rabin The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel 9-10 December 2009 Call for Papers: Workshop 2 Political Discourse Analysis Prof. Dvora Yanow & Dr. Shaul Shenhav Recent years have seen a growing scholarly interest in the interrelation between politics and discourse. Led by the developing fields of Discourse Analysis and Political Discourse Analysis, this interrelation has attracted the attention of scholars who seek to understand politics via the prism of discourse, as well as those who start with some form of human discourse and seek to study its political qualities. In addition, some discourse analytic approaches treat 'discourse' as 'practice,' which brings acts and objects - aspects of the material world used or referred to in those acts and words - into the picture, expanding analysis beyond an exclusive engagement with written or oral language. This could be the case when bringing activity theoretical approaches together with some form of discourse analysis. Furthermore, some aspects of hitherto word-focused discourse analysis - such as metaphor analysis - have recently expanded to consider multiple 'modes', among them gestures, as important sources for the study of meaning and its communication. This workshop is open to papers that come either from the direction of politics or from the direction of language. These might consider the analysis of formal political forums and texts (such as Parliaments, political parties, governments, official documents, and bureaucracies), but we are open to all studies of 'the political'. We welcome both theoretical and empirical (interpretive, qualitative, quantitative or a mix) projects that touch on various aspects of the interrelation between discourse(s) and politics. We encourage submissions from a variety of schools and approaches, such as discourse analysis; critical discourse analysis; conversation analysis; narrative approaches; rhetorical criticism. Biographies of workshop directors Dvora Yanow is a political/policy ethnographer and interpretive methodologist who studies public policies and organizations, as well as the ways researchers generate knowledge claims. Her research has been shaped by an overall interest in the communication of meaning in organizational and policy settings. Currently holding the Strategic Chair in Meaning and Method in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Vrije Universiteit (Amsterdam), she is the author of How does a policy mean? Interpreting policy and organizational actions; Conducting interpretive policy analysis; and Constructing American "race" and "ethnicity": Category-making in public policy and administration (winner of the 2004 ASPA and 2007 Herbert A. Simon-APSA book awards) and co-editor of Knowing in organizations: A practice-based approach; Interpretation and method: Empirical research methods and the interpretive turn; and Organizational ethnography: Studying the complexities of everyday life. Current research engages state race-ethnic category-making in The Netherlands, policy frames/framing, reflective practice, science museums and notions of 'science', and US Institutional Review Board policies and practices.

Students of political phenomena who work in related fields are also welcomed to present their work in the conference (e.g. law, history, political economy, geography, philosophy, psychology, and communication). The conference has two tracks: Panels: This track holds panels on selected themes. Three papers will be presented in each panel, and participants will not be required to submit a paper in advance. A 90 minute slot will be assigned for each panel. Panel chairs and respondents will be senior faculty members. Consideration for inclusion in this competitive track requires the submission of an extended abstract (approximately 300 words). Research workshops: This track holds thematic one-day or two-day research workshops, depending on the number of participants. Participation in most workshops will be restricted to paper presenters (preferably doctoral students) and discussants (senior faculty members). Papers will be submitted in advance, and one 60-90 minute slot will be assigned for presentation/discussion of each paper. Consideration for inclusion in this highly competitive track requires the submission of an extended abstract (approximately 500 words). Proposals for both tracks should be sent to gradconf at mscc.huji.ac.il Deadline for submissions is October 15th, 2009 In addition to the abstract, students who wish to participate in the conference are required to send the organizers a note indicating the subject of their research, their institutional and departmental affiliation, their academic status, the preferred track (workshops or panels), full contact information, and the name of their advisors. Potential participants in the workshop track need to state their commitment to submit a full paper no later than December 1st, 2009. Best paper competition: Papers submitted by December 1st, 2009 will be considered for "The Best Paper Award" Deadline for Submissions: October 15th, 2009 Application Forms are available from the Conference website: http://gradcon.huji.ac.il Conference Email: gradconf at mscc.huji.ac.il Conference Academic conveners Dr. Dan Miodownik (The Hebrew University, Jerusalem), Prof. David Levi-Faur (The Hebrew University, Jerusalem). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
