The ambiguity of the concept of politeness and its multiple definitions force us to question the centuries-old oppositions between social acceptability and spontaneity, authenticity and hypocrisy, refinement and boorishness, and to acknowledge that the social labels resulting from these oppressing dichotomies stratify and imprison us.

 

Politeness plays a central role in human behaviour as a form of indirect communication which can be used to persuade or to downplay power strategies. This universal behaviour, which can be observed in all societies but is at the same time difficult to delimit and comprehend, has become the object of study in a wide range of fields, such as literary and artistic studies, history, sociology and linguistics.

 

Politeness regulates human interactions and contributes to social balance, and its real, virtual or hidden forms have been constantly present in all discourses, from the political to the pedagogic, from ancient times to our own cyberlanguage age.

 

The aim of this conference is to promote exchanges and dialogue among various disciplines and approaches. Thus, we invite researchers from different fields to reflect on the fundamental nature of politeness as a strategy to shorten distances between ourselves and others and to highlight the essential value of verbal and social codes/rules in the construction of sociability.

 

The conference will be organized into plenary sessions with guest speakers and parallel sessions, for which we invite you to submit your proposals for papers.

a) full title of presentation/paper;
