ENGLISH STUDIES AT THE INTERFACE OF DISCIPLINES: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

Abstract

The second half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century have witnessed increasing interaction between various cultures and various disciplines in scientific theoretical research, owing, primarily, to the development of the media and the internet. Such interaction has revealed and emphasized aspects that may have been overlooked without an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, this conference aims to reaffirm and foreground the importance of co-positioning various contexts: cultural, political, ethical, linguistic, literary, ethnic, national, as well as the contexts of the scientific disciplines. Particular emphasis will be placed on examining how the findings of one discipline may result in shedding light on concealed or traditionally neglected perspectives in another discipline.
