Call for Papers Taipei 2018

The 2018 International Association for Dialogue Analysis conference (Taipei, September 25 th – 28 th , 2018) welcomes empirical and methodological extended abstracts from different disciplinary perspectives that focus on technologies, non- humans, and immaterial forms of agencies as participants and interlocutors of dialogue and interactions, to see how our identities, cultures, realities and representations, histories, organizations, and moral responsibilities will be transformed when we are related to these participants.

Agencies, with their different capabilities and structural positions, and actions that relate, connect, appropriate, speak to/through/for/with them, are the main theme of this conference. Contributors are asked to focus on exploring the dialoguing and interactions between human and non-human, material and immaterial agents, through which transformations, changes, or creativities occur and communicative consequences/responsibilities entailed and realized.
