Giving Voice, Gaining Voice, Seeing Voices
Insights from Linguistics, Literature, Education and Translation Studies

The conference title, lending itself to different interpretations, encourages a broad reflection to which both the linguistic and literary disciplines can fruitfully contribute. Here, in fact, voice is not only intended as a linguistic tool but, it is also investigated in its expressive, ideological and identity-bound dimensions. The aim of this event, organized by the students enrolled in the 40th cycle of the PhD program in Modern Languages, Cultures and Societies and Language Sciences at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, is to encourage such reflection, addressing it through the following perspectives:
– Rhetorical and Narratological Studies
– Literary, Post-Colonial and Socio-Cultural Studies
– Translation Studies
– General and Theoretical Linguistics
– Applied Linguistics and Language Education (acquisitional and educational perspectives)
