Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been the subject of academic research for decades. It is a key issue in the fields of Computer Science and Information Technology, while attracting the attention of other fields due to its pervasive nature. Social studies discussed its economic, social, political, military, and geopolitical implications - particularly regarding China’s ambition to become an AI leading power. Media scholars questioned the ‘intelligence’ of machines (Natale, 2021) and the ‘novelty’ of digital media in general (Balbi, 2022).

The Organising Committee is happy to present the International Conference on “Food x Language: adapting and representing food across media and genres in English and in Spanish” ("Lengua y comida: adaptaciones y representaciones de la comida a través de los medios de comunicación y de los géneros textuales en inglés y español"). The event will take place on 17th and 18th October 2024 in Ca’ Bernardo, one the buildings hosting the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. 

Dear Users of DiscourseNet,

We are delighted to introduce to you our new Critically Linked Podcast Group! After almost two years and several interesting discussions, we - the hosts - thought it was time to bring our community of 'old' books fans closer together. We are therefore launching a new Group, where you can more easily access information about past & future episodes as well as links to the Apple Podcast Critically Linked. 

Join us now and become part of the Critically Linked Community by helping us improve the podcast and disseminate fresh ideas!
