ENTICE 2016 - Interdisciplinary Conference on Travel and Intercultural Communication

Travel to the city of Halden, Norway, for an international conference on travel and/as intercultural communication. Explore an exciting interdisciplinary topic in a welcoming intercultural environment.
We live in a global network where spatial, linguistic and cultural mobility is reshaping our identities. This mobility is unprecedented in its scope, and caused by a multitude of reasons from pure leisurely travel to desperate flight. This international conference aims to explore mobility from an interdisciplinary perspective, addressing the role of travel ? past and present ? and intercultural communication connected to travel.
We welcome theoretical and applied research papers in English dealing with travel texts focusing on going North. All types of texts are of interest ? a non-exhaustive list would include films, internet blogs, travel guides, political reports, historical accounts, migrant literature and visual art. We invite contributions from a number of disciplines such as literature, languages, media studies, culture and anthropological studies, and political and historical studies.
Please submit a 200-word abstract for peer review at entice-AT-hiof.no by November 20th, 2015. Participants will have 20 minutes for their presentations. Accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website prior to the conference.
