CALL FOR PAPERS

8th CONFERENCE ON BRITISH AND AMERICAN STUDIES

“GLOBAL HOMOGENEITY, LOCAL IDENTITY”

16-17 April 2010

Due to technological advancement the world has become a global village. In this context, local identity, as a set of specific cultural features belonging to a certain area, appears to be under threat. Our conference aims to host discussions on the ways in which an expansive global identity both challenges and facilitates an explanatory local identity. The event aims to replicate, in approach and breadth of scope, the homogeneous heterogeneity which the globalization of culture creates within the context of one world culture.

Presentations or workshops (20 minutes) are invited in the following sections:

• Language Studies

• ELT

• Translation Studies and Lexicography

• Literary Studies

• Cultural Studies

Please submit your paper proposals by the 15th of February 2010 as follows:

Language Studies, ELT to Liliana Coposescu at lili_coposescu@yahoo.com

Translation Studies and Lexicography to Marinela Burada at marinela.burada@gmail.com
