Call for Papers: The11th Doctoral Academic Forum on Foreign Languages and Literature at Fudan University (DAFFLL)

Co-sponsored by Fudan University Graduate School and College of Foreign Languages and Literature, the 11th Doctoral Academic Forum on Foreign Languages and Literature is scheduled to be held on October 22, 2016, at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

I. Forum Theme: Enrichment: Exchange & Exploration

This forum strives to be a cynosure for innovative academic research which facilitates in-depth and diversified studies on literature, linguistics, and translation and interpreting, and which at the same time enriches academic life for teachers and students alike. One of the greatest dangers for academic research is a parochial complacency, an unwillingness or indifference to share and communicate. To communicate is to exchange, to gain new perspectives and to offer constructive advice to each other based on mutual learning and understanding, thereby enhancing pedagogical and learning practices as well as improving academic competence among peers. The alluring frontiers of academic research beckon us to explore, to break boundaries, and to dare to visit where others fear to tread. The openness of this forum values an exploratory spirit and encourages all explorations within or/and across disciplinary boundaries. We welcome papers concerning aspects of foreign languages and literatures, and relevant areas include but not limited to:

·Linguistics

1) Generative Linguistics

2) Functional Linguistics

3) Cognitive Linguistics

4) Linguistic Theories

5) Discourse Analysis

6) Language and Culture

7) Intercultural Communication

·Literature

1) Contemporary Literary Theories

2) Poetry, Drama, and Novels Criticism

3) American Ethnic Literature

4) Nordic Literature

5) American War Literature
