Reimagining Crises

Reimagining Crises
Turning Points in Language Studies and Literary Narratives

Conference
4-5/11/2024, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, 8th International PhD Conference

From the ancient Greek κρίσις, meaning decision, outcome and consequently used within the medical field to refer to a turning point in the condition of a patient, the term “crisis” gradually acquired a figurative meaning, referring to pivotal moments in which a crucial transition will alter the state of affairs. 

The 8th Doctoral Conference draws inspiration from such a term and it aims to explore the nuanced implications of crises and turning points within the disciplines of Linguistics, Literature, Language Teaching and Translation and Interpreting.
