4th International 'Language, Communication, Culture' Conference
Lisbon, Lusofona University, November 28-30, 2006

http://lcc.ulusofona.pt/index_17.html

An organisation of the staff, students and associates of the 'Culture  
and Society' Postgraduate Programme (University of Lisbon), of the  
staff of the Department of Communication, Arts and Information  
Technology (Lusofona University), and of Best Travel Agency.

The conference will be structured round three topics:

1 - Media, media-making and the politics of news production
2 - Visual culture and hegemonic cultural policies and practices
3 - Cultural studies and the production of knowledge and social change

This year?s LCC Conference will be hosted by Lusofona University, a  
private academic institution in Lisbon. Having previously been held in  
Évora and Beja, the LCC conference venue alternates annually amongst  
several institutions that comprise Portugal?s academic panorama. Apart  
from Lisbon?s centrality favouring participation in this event, both  
transport and accommodation-wise, Lusófona University was chosen as a  
venue due to this institution?s focus on communication, visual arts  
and new technologies. This academic slant coincides with the  
Conference?s principal vectors, namely media, visual culture and  
cultural studies.

"The LCC Conference mandate is to bring together scholars from all  
disciplines and fields of the humanities and social sciences with  
contributions on language, communication, social and cultural themes  
that analyse the contemporary world, its vectors of crisis, its  
tensions and conflicts, its lines of development, and its resources of  
hope."
