Come Join us in Florianopolis, Brazil for the next Genre conference
4th International Symposium on Genre Studies - SIGET
Florianópolis-SC, Brazil
August, 15th-17 th, 2007
1st CALL FOR PAPERS
DESCRIPTION
The large and active Brazilian genre research community invites the
international genre research community to join in SIGET IV. We invite
genre researchers from around the world to see this as the next
manifestation of the spontaneous series of genre conferences in Ottawa,
Vancouver, and Oslo, and at the same time as a chance to participate in
the now regularly occurring Brazilian symposia.
In its previous versions (2003, 2004 and 2005), which took place in
Brazil, SIGET gradually increased its international scope. As a way of
strengthening this trend, the forthcoming conference includes a
scientific committee comprised of researchers from different countries.
To enable foreign delegates do participate fully, the event will be held
in Portuguese and in English. The papers will be grouped according to
the language of presentation, and there will be simultaneous
translations of the plenary sessions (English to Portuguese and vice-versa).
SIGET aim at:
1) putting together researchers interested in genre studies;
2) facilitating discussions on theoretical and applied subjects related
to research on genre; 3) making public theoretical and applied studies
that can contribute to re-thinking the approaches and perspectives on
this subject;
4) raising pedagogical and political questions that will lead to policy
making.
The conference will include lectures, round tables, workshops, panels,
individual paper sessions and posters.
SIGET is also opened to elementary and high school teachers, to
University lecturers, as well as to professionals of other areas who
want to extend their knowledge on the subjects focused here.
SUBJECT AREAS:
- Genre analysis;
- Genre and language teaching-learning;
- Genre and teacher training;
- Genre and social practices;
- Genre analysis methodology;
- Other topics related to genre.
