This international and cross-disciplinary conference centers on representation. It is a term that points to an array of phenomena, from representations as they play out in mass media discourse and “stand in” for reality, to issues of political representation in which a surrogate formally stands in for the ostensible interests of a population. What is new in our concepts and practices of representation? And what constitutes “old wine in new bottles”? Over the course of two days, we assay to extend and rigorously tease out the multiple senses of representation, going beyond post-modern celebration to orient to problems and possibilities in this volatile post-millennial moment. 

We are very pleased to announce that Profesor Teun van Dijk of Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona will deliver the conference’s Keynote Address.

Official languages of the conference: English and Spanish.
