The 12th International Conference Synergies in Communication (SiC 2024)
CALL FOR PAPERS
31 October- 1 November 2024
(hybrid format)
The Department of Modern Languages and Business Communication of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE) ,Romania,is organizing the 12thannual international conference Synergies in Communication (SiC 2024) , to be held in a hybrid format on 31 October- 1 November 2024 . The event will be organized under the auspices of the Faculty of International Business and Economics in partnership with Université d'Artois, University of Zaragoza, Aix-Marseille Université, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan University (SOA), Hiroshima University, Institutul de Filologie Română „B.P.-Hasdeu” al Ministerului Educației, Culturii și Cercetării al Republicii Moldova, “Ovidius” University of Constanta and QUEST Romania, PROSPER-ASE Language Centre, The Romanian Society for English and American Studies (RSEAS), a member of The European Society for the Study of English (ESSE), Romanian Association for American Studies (RAAS) .
The conference is organized around 7 thematic areas:
section 1: Synergies in LINGUISTICS, business AND (INTER)CULTURAL communication. ( online )
Communication is a synergistic field where effectiveness is given by knowledge from diverse domains and by the ability to align best practice with the increasingly rapid pace of the world today. Moreover, today, universities face the challenge of meeting their dual role as institutions of culture and higher education as well as providers of knowledgeable, flexible, autonomous and self-determined graduates for the labour market. This section of our conference welcomes discussions on topics related to the following main areas:
Email: [email protected]
section 2: INTERDEPENDENCES: ACADEMIC AND DIGITAL LITERACIES IN THE NEW EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT. REVISITING QUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION ( online )
This section provides an interdisciplinary forum for specialists in various fields to share expertise and to reflect together on ways forward, in the current academic context, with all its challenges and opportunities. This section will be organised in partnership with the “DILAN” Project, the University of Zaragoza, the Doctoral School of Humanities of “Ovidius” University Constanta, and the Romanian Association for Quality Language Services QUEST. Possible topics include (but are not restricted to):
E mail: [email protected]
section 3: Romanian cultural and linguistic studies ( Online )
Romanian academia play an important role in building bridges between values, traditions and representations attached to Romania and to other cultural areas - in Europe or worldwide. We propose to focus on the presence of Romanian culture in other countries, to strengthening connections between Romania and other cultures, to the teaching of Romanian culture and language to foreigners in Romania and abroad, with a view to using such cultural and linguistic knowledge in a multicultural context. Papers are invited on, but not limited to topics such as:
Email : [email protected]
section 4: BOUNDARY TRANSGRESSIONS IN BETWEEN EAST AND WEST ( hybrid )
Transgression has become a reality of our times, encoded in various modes of interconnectedness afforded by this age. Whether at home or abroad, the inherent transcendence of (trans)cultural dynamics intersects with transgressive mechanisms that facilitate the contestation of hegemonic discourses. One the one hand, the idea of transgression carries geographical connotations, given its literal significance of crossing a boundary. On the other hand, at a symbolic level, the crossing of a threshold marks a step to an out of place status that contains potential for resistance within the confines of a single culture. Transgression dissolves ossified structures and patterns, revealing novel perspectives. This opens towards a fruitful interpretation of its labyrinthic nature along various lines of analysis: postcolonial, Foucauldian, or Bakhtinian, to name a few only. An important coordinate of the proposed analysis considers the relation between settlement/mobility, space and gender, questioning the subversive potential of women’s rootedness vs. motion. Given this context, we invite contributions related, but not limited to:
Email: [email protected]
section 5: Mindscapes and Cultural Insights in Far Eastern Studies ( online )
Focusing mainly on Far Eastern Studies, spanning from China and Korea to Japan, this section is designed not only as a debating venue on tradition, cultural representations, and academic challenges in a volatile contemporary context, but also as an interdisciplinary nexus for specialists willing to share their new ideas, research results, and latest in-depth scholarship on various topics such as:
Email: [email protected]
section 6: MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE ( online )
What does it mean for each of us to be a human being? How do we perceive ourselves? How do we perceive others? What makes us act in a certain way? How do we relate to the people around us or to the context in which we live? This section of the conference tries to find the answer to all these simple, yet puzzling questions that touch all the intricacies, contradictions and mysteries of life. The panel intends to be a celebration of the human experience, with all its complexities, thrills and wonders. We welcome submissions that explore all aspects of this topic from various academic fields: literature, religion, culture, arts and media, psychology, pedagogy, etc. The themes for the session include, but are not limited to the following suggestions:
Email: [email protected]
SECTION 7: Migration, Diaspora(s), and Refugees ( online )
Migration, either in theory or in practice, and its sub-fields, diasporas and refugees, are by no means a domain of the past. In 2020, according to the International Organization for Migration , the number of migrants reached 280 million people, representing 3.60% of the world population and figures are on the rise. If migration has been seen as a phenomenon that involves a political act due to the individuals’ and communities’ personal or national affiliations, therefore portrayed moreover as a cause that triggers consequences post migration, it is more frequently seen these days as a consequence of conflictual, aggressive and even confusing politics. We expect participants to contribute with academic papers, posters, and other kinds of visuals that illustrate international migration, migrant integration, managed migration, asylum, family migration, children migration, and (temporary) protection. This interdisciplinary panel includes:
• Economics
• Politics
• Legal Studies
• Sociology
• Anthropology
• Literature Studies
• Film Studies

Guest Essay
By Margaret Renkl
Ms. Renkl is a contributing Opinion writer who reports from Nashville on flora, fauna, politics and culture in the American South.
Hackberries are native to Alabama, where I grew up, but I was a child born of the piney woods, and I don’t recall ever noticing a single hackberry in my youth. The trees also grow in South Carolina, where I went to graduate school, but they didn’t register with me there, either. I was a newly transplanted Tennessean before I learned about “trash trees,” as people here call them.
The common hackberry is widespread from New England across to the Dakotas and down through the Midwest and Upper South. The Southern hackberry, a species also known as the sugarberry , blankets the Southeast down through Florida and west into Texas and northeastern Mexico. The two species overlap — and sometimes self-hybridize — in Tennessee. The Nashville naturalist Joanna Brichetto, author of the new book “ This Is How a Robin Drinks: Essays on Urban Nature ,” calls Nashville “ the hackberry capital of the world .”
I don’t know if people call them trash trees in other places, but hackberries are widely disdained in the hackberry capital of the world. Their bark is a rough swath of warts. Their pocked, wrinkled, gall-infested leaves always look a little sick. In spring, their flowers drop to the ground and cover the sidewalks, and in fall their berrylike drupes do the same, without any gorgeous fall color to compensate for the mess.
One of the hackberries’ least desirable characteristics is not, strictly speaking, a feature of the trees themselves. Hackberries are targeted by the invasive Asian woolly hackberry aphid , which like all aphids excretes a sticky form of waste called honeydew. In wet summers, rain washes the honeydew away, but in dry years, the honeydew can accumulate and promote the growth of a soot-colored mold on whatever — car, sidewalk, patio furniture — happens to lie beneath the branches of a hackberry tree. “The mold is absolutely harmless,” Ms. Brichetto said when I asked her about it, “but people freak out.”
Unluckiest of all for a tree trying to survive the built human environment, hackberries have a growing habit that also freaks people out. Hackberries can grow giant horizontal branches that sprawl out across great expanses. Left unpruned, those heavy old limbs sometimes drop onto houses during storms.
By now you’re thinking, “Yeah, that’s totally a trash tree.” I spent my first years here thinking the same thing.

Flooding and storms have wreaked havoc in Yemen, with homes reduced to debris and families left in critical need of assistance. Photo: IOM/Haithm Abdulbaqi
Yemen, 5 September – In response to the severe flooding and violent windstorms affecting nearly 562,000 people in Yemen, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has launched a USD 13.3 million appeal to deliver urgent life-saving assistance. The unprecedented weather events have compounded the humanitarian crisis in the country, leaving thousands of internally displaced persons and host communities in dire need of assistance.
“Yemen is facing yet another devastating chapter in its relentless crisis, exacerbated by the intersection of conflict and extreme weather events,” said Matt Huber, IOM Yemen’s Acting Chief of Mission. “IOM teams are on the ground, working around the clock to deliver immediate relief to families affected by this catastrophe. However, the scale of the destruction is staggering, and we urgently need additional funding to ensure that the most vulnerable are not left behind. We must act immediately to prevent further loss and alleviate the suffering of those impacted.”
In recent months, torrential rains and flooding have destroyed homes, displaced thousands of families, and severely damaged critical infrastructure, including health centres, schools, and roads. Across multiple governorates, including Ibb, Sana’a, Ma’rib, Al Hodeidah, and Ta’iz, thousands of people have been left without shelter, clean water, or access to basic services, and scores of lives have been tragically lost.
The storms have struck as the country grapples with a cholera outbreak and escalating food insecurity, further exacerbating the vulnerability of displaced families and strained health systems. As the harsh weather conditions are expected to continue, more households are at risk of displacement and exposure to disease outbreaks due to damaged water and health infrastructure.
Ma’rib Governorate has been particularly hard-hit, with strong winds since 11 August severely damaging 73 displacement sites and affecting over 21,000 households. Public services, including electricity networks, have been severely affected, aggravating the crisis in one of Yemen’s most vulnerable regions. Urgent shelter repairs and cash assistance are needed, with healthcare services and sanitation infrastructure among the most immediate priorities.
Since early August, floodwaters have damaged shelters, roads, water sources, and medical facilities, leaving over 15,000 families in Al Hodeidah and 11,000 in Ta’iz in desperate need of emergency support. These rains have not only led to tragic loss of life but have also wiped out entire communities’ belongings and means of survival.
In response to this crisis, IOM is targeting 350,000 people with shelter, non-food items (NFI), cash-based interventions, health, camp coordination and camp management, and water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions. Distribution of water tanks, latrine repairs, and desludging efforts are ongoing in multiple sites, while health services are being expanded, with mobile teams currently treating over 100 individuals and referring critical cases to hospitals.
IOM’s efforts are further supported by emergency response committees working tirelessly to register and verify affected households, relocate displaced families, and reduce the risks of further damage. However, the resources available are insufficient to cover the vast needs, with key gaps remaining, especially in the shelter and NFI sector.
With no contingency stocks for essential relief items and the situation growing more critical by the day, immediate funding is necessary to address the most pressing needs on the ground. IOM stands ready to scale up its response but requires the necessary resources to do so.
With further severe weather expected in the coming weeks and funding constraints, the Organization is urgently calling on the international community to support this appeal to continue providing lifesaving aid and address the overwhelming needs of those affected.

Neue Umfragen lassen ein Desaster für die «Ampel» bei den nächsten Wahlen erwarten. Der Kanzler aber rechnet mit einem Sieg – und bei den Grünen werden «die paar Messerstecher» relativiert.
Die Kabinettsklausur auf Schloss Meseberg zählt zu den festen Ritualen im Berliner Regierungsbetrieb. In diesem Jahr aber wird sich Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz allein nach Brandenburg aufmachen und dort am kommenden Dienstag das Diplomatische Corps begrüssen. Die gemeinsame Klausur fällt aus.
Der Regierungssprecher mühte sich vorab nach Kräften, die Gründe zu vernebeln. Das Treffen sei aufgrund der zeitlichen Nähe zu drei Landtagswahlen verschoben worden. Es mangele nicht an «Formaten und Gelegenheiten, miteinander zu sprechen». Wahrscheinlicher ist eine andere Erklärung: Angesichts kollabierender Zustimmungswerte und eines gereizten Binnenklimas ist die «Ampel» um jeden Anlass froh, der nicht stattfindet und die Koalition somit nicht zusammenführt.
Selbst für eine seit rund anderthalb Jahren im demoskopischen Sinkflug begriffene Bundesregierung ist das jüngste ZDF-Politbarometer ein Schock. Dass die drei Regierungsparteien insgesamt nur 30 Prozent Zustimmung erhalten und die FDP mit prognostizierten 4 Prozent vor einer Zukunft als ausserparlamentarische Opposition steht, bewegt sich in der Spannbreite des gewohnten Schreckens. Gleiches gilt für des Volkes Botschaft, Olaf Scholz solle nicht als Kanzler kandidieren. Knapp drei Viertel der Befragten raten dem SPD-Politiker zum Verzicht.
Präzedenzlos ist ein anderer Wert, den die Forschungsgruppe Wahlen ermittelte: Für eine Koalition aus SPD, Grünen und FDP nach der Bundestagswahl im Herbst 2025 plädieren exakt 0 Prozent. Niemand oder fast niemand wünscht sich, dass das gegenwärtige Dreierbündnis fortgesetzt wird. Deutschland hat mit der «Ampel» abgeschlossen.
Wer an der Wand steht, schlägt um sich und gibt anderen und allem Möglichen die Schuld. Die FDP verfehlte bei den Landtagswahlen in Thüringen und Sachsen den Sprung in die Landesparlamente. In Brandenburg, wo in zwei Wochen gewählt wird, rangiert sie bei 2 Prozent.
Kein Wunder also, dass die FDP am lautesten den koalitionären Abbruchhammer schwingt. Die Bundestagsfraktion stellte auf 23 Seiten 51 Punkte zu einer neuen Migrationspolitik vor, die sich weder mit den Grünen noch mit der SPD realisieren liesse: Flüchtlinge aus der Ukraine sollen kein Bürgergeld mehr erhalten, Asylbewerber sollen «verstärkt» zu gemeinnütziger Arbeit verpflichtet und Sozialleistungen für ausreisepflichtige Personen komplett gestrichen werden.
Die FDP hat den Bundestagswahlkampf eröffnet und plant für die Zeit nach der «Ampel». Diesem Ziel hatten allein schon in diesem Jahr ein sozialpolitisches Zwölf-Punkte-Papier, ein Fünf-Punkte-Plan zur Haushaltspolitik und ein Zehn-Punkte-Plan «für das Auto» gedient. Solche Absetzbewegungen im laufenden Regierungsgeschäft wurden bisher vom Wähler nicht honoriert, auch die jüngste Umfrage des Meinungsforschungsinstituts Insa für die «Bild am Sonntag» weist nur 4 liberale Prozent aus. Der Stimmungsumschwung in der Bevölkerung ist manifest.
Laut dem ZDF-Politbarometer sind 71 Prozent der Deutschen überzeugt, das Land könne die «vielen Flüchtlinge aus Krisengebieten» nicht verkraften. Vor einem halben Jahr waren lediglich 42 Prozent dieser Ansicht. Gleichzeitig bezweifeln 64 Prozent der Befragten, dass es der Bundesregierung gelingen werde, mehr abgelehnte Asylbewerber abzuschieben.
Damit geraten die Grünen – in jüngsten Umfragen auf deutschlandweit 10 Prozent und auf 5 Prozent in Brandenburg abgestürzt – in die Defensive. Trotz einigen realpolitischen Einlassungen aus den Ländern , etwa des baden-württembergischen Finanzministers Danyal Bayaz , gibt man die Antithese zu den migrationspolitischen Forderungen der FDP.
Auf dem kleinen Parteitag der brandenburgischen Grünen in Potsdam bekräftigte die Bundesvorsitzende Ricarda Lang an diesem Samstag: Wer «vor Krieg und Terror» nach Deutschland flüchte, bekomme Schutz und werde «Teil dieser Gesellschaft». Ein Asyl auf Zeit, heisst das, ist mit den Grünen nicht zu machen, für Integration gibt es keine Obergrenze. Das Gegenteil steht im Positionspapier der FDP-Bundestagsfraktion: Die gesamte Migration müsse «auf ein kontrolliertes Mass» reduziert und der Familiennachzug bei nur subsidiär Schutzberechtigten ganz ausgesetzt werden. Asylbewerber sollten, so die FDP weiter, in Zentren untergebracht werden, um Ausschaffungen zu erleichtern.
Nach dem islamistischen Anschlag von Solingen , bei dem drei Menschen ihr Leben verloren, sorgte die grüne Aussenministerin für Verwunderung. Annalena Baerbock sagte vor wenigen Tagen, Terrorismus bekämpfe man «vor allen Dingen mit der gemeinsamen, vielfältigen Gesellschaft». Der Satz erinnert an das Diktum der grünen Bundestagsvizepräsidentin Katrin Göring-Eckardt, die 2015 erklärt hatte, Willkommenskultur sei «der beste Schutz vor Terroristen».
Nun, nach dem neuen islamistischen Anschlag von München , sprach Baerbock in Potsdam zu den Delegierten und warb für die «Kraft der Differenzierung»: «Gerade weil wir uns gegen Terrorismus verteidigen, Islamisten und Rechtsextremisten, die doch Brüder im Geiste sind, haben wir als Demokratinnen und Demokraten die Kraft, zu unterscheiden, wer Islamist ist und wer vor Islamismus geflohen ist.» Alles andere widerspreche sowohl der christlichen Nächstenliebe als auch den wirtschaftlichen Interessen Deutschlands: «Wir brauchen auch die Fachkräfte, die aus Syrien oder andernorts gekommen sind, die sich nichts vorzuwerfen haben.»
Vor Baerbock hatte die grüne Co-Sprecherin des Kreisverbands Havelland, Inge Schwenger, jedoch auf eine Weise differenziert, die sparsamen Applaus erntete. Schwenger warnte davor, «alle gemeinsam einzuprügeln auf die paar Messerstecher, die sich hier leider Gottes noch in diesem Land aufhalten», und darüber die soziale Frage zu vernachlässigen. Als Beispiel nannte sie die Kita-Kosten und die geringe Bafög-Höhe.
Des Kanzlers hohe Meinung von sich selbst bleibt in all dem Gezänk eine verlässliche Grösse. Dem «Tagesspiegel» sagte Scholz, dessen Partei momentan auf 15 Prozent taxiert wird, während CDU und CSU 31 Prozent erreichen: Ja, er gehe davon aus, auch die nächste Regierung anzuführen und also Kanzler zu bleiben.
Scholz war es indes auch, der vor einem Jahr, nach der bisher letzten Kabinettsklausur auf Schloss Meseberg, fröhlich verkündete, nun gehe es voran und aufwärts, für die «Ampel» und das ganze Land. Die Regierung, so Scholz im August 2023, werde weiterhin «hämmern und klopfen, aber mit Schalldämpfer». Dreizehn Monate später regiert der Presslufthammer.
Im herbst 2023 hat olaf scholz angekündigt, «im grossen stil» abzuschieben – ist das geglückt, die spd-seele dürstet nach frieden: warum olaf scholz die deutsche militärhilfe für die ukraine kürzt, mehr von alexander kissler (kis), «am ende etwas zusammenbinden»: die cdu stimmt ihre wähler auf linke bündnisse ein, abgestraft und angezählt: die thüringer wähler zeigen der «ampel» die rote karte, «um die rückführung gar nicht gekümmert»: in der migrationsdebatte wächst die kritik an hendrik wüst, ende der illusionen die deutsche regierung einigt sich auf neue migrationspolitische massnahmen, will aber am grundrecht auf asyl nicht rütteln, die landtagswahlen im osten werden zur volksabstimmung über die bundesregierung, mehr zum thema migration, initiative gegen die 10-millionen-schweiz: jans und der bundesrat dürfen die illegale migration nicht ausklammern, nach solingen und druck der opposition: die deutsche bundesinnenministerin faeser will grenzkontrollen einführen, integration statt migration: in einem schulprojekt in den bergen guatemalas entdecken maya-mädchen ihre lange unterdrückte stimme, migrationskrise in europa: italienische küstenwache birgt sechs leichen vor sizilien, alle gegen friedrich merz – ein irreführender videoclip geht viral, sie nehmen das geld, aber nicht die abgewiesenen landsleute: bürgerliche allianz will renitenten ländern die entwicklungshilfe streichen.
