The International Conference <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Stencil","serif"">
Language in the Media 8</span> will be hosted by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) from
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Stencil","serif"">July 23<sup>rd</sup> to 26, 2019</span>. The conference aims to discuss the theme
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Stencil","serif"">mediatising resistance</span>. The relation between language and the mediatisation of resistance is particularly relevant these days in view of the intensification of tensions, bigotry, and polarization
we have been witnessing worldwide. <o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">A well-established body of research indicates that this state of conflict is partly articulated in media communication. It also shows just how high the stakes rise when attrition gets commodified. Although media interaction involves
complex and layered power relations, it only exists amidst constant battles for meaning and contextualization. One can thus say that the production, circulation and interpretation of media texts are always power-resistance actions. However, the dynamics of
these complementary practices and their transformation possibilities still demand thorough exploration. Foucault has taught us that power games are fluid and relational and, as such, are prone to instability and insubordination. These concerns embody the conference’s
focus on struggles for domination-reversal enhanced by media semiosis. These topics will be addressed in keynotes by
