With regard to theoretical approaches, contributions are welcome which investigate and
pinpoint the actual means and processes by which Otherness and identity are constructed and
maintained, as well as adapted to changing socio-political conditions.
Analyses of texts, including multimodal texts, are also encouraged.
Thus contributions are sought from linguists, discourse analysts, stylisticians, historical linguists,
literary critics, film and multimodal theorists, communication theorists, but also from sociologists,
anthropologists, psychologists, criminologists, political scientists, economists, historians, philosophers,
educationalists and others working in domains dealing with texts in which any form of Alterity and/or
resistance to inequality is represented, discussed or analysed, and/or in which the underlying ideology
and discourse on Alterity is investigated.

Prof. Zoltan Kovecses (Professor of Linguistics, University of Budapest), Prof. Abioseh Porter (Head
of English, Drexel University), Prof. Vincenzo Ruggiero (Professor of Sociology, Middlesex
