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 Perspectives;
  • Literature, Post-Colonial and Socio-Cultural Studies;
  • Translation Studies: specialized languages;
  • General and Theoretical Linguistics: Voice and Diathesis;
  • Applied Linguistics and Language Education: acquisitional and educational perspectives.

 

The conference languages will be English, Italian, and LIS. Depending on the contributions we will receive, a session with Italian<>LIS interpretation service will be scheduled.

The event will be held in-person at Ca' Bernardo Room B (Sala B) and registration will be free of charge.
