Virtual conference

Deadline: April 8, 2023

III FLUC Communication Sciences Conference (Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra, Portugal)  

No participation fees.

Once the Portuguese language is an aggregating element for people and populations in different territories, this conference aims to bring together papers from different contexts that have arrived at multiple understandings of how communication and media influence social dynamics and are also marked by them.

We cannot help but remember that language was strategic to colonization and the context imposed on many peoples. However, since the language belongs to those who use it, we can use it on infinite possibilities as a tool for emancipation.

Students, researchers, national and international researchers are welcome. The event is organized in three distinct moments: debates, conferences, and paper presentation sessions. The deadline for submitting papers to be presented begins this Wednesday, March 1st.

Within the overarching theme “Debates in the Portuguese Language”, papers will be accepted on the following sub-themes, but not limited to:

-          Edges and challenges of research in the Portuguese language

-          Importance of codes in the communicative process

-          Language, communication, and discrimination

-          Language, communication, and gender

-          Communication, gender, and sexualities

-          Disinformation and hate speech

-          Communication and post-colonial relations

-          Communication and decolonial critique

-          Contemporary issues in advertising and marketing

-          Media and factual narratives

-          Media and fictional narratives

-          Media representations

-          Media and diaspora

-          Critical Discourse Studies

-          Communication and intersectionality

-          Communication and gaming

-          Communication, media, and artificial intelligence
