status: CfP Call for papers conference Re-visiting Objectivity in Text Analysis and Research Methods 12.06.2015-13.06.2015 Cité des sciences Tunis, Tunisia DEADLINE APPROACHING : 15 JANUARY 2015 The Tunisian Association of Young Researchers (TAYR) Organizes a conference on Re-visiting Objectivity June 12 and 13, 2015 Cité des sciences, Tunis, Tunisia In its purest sense, the idea of objectivity assumes that a truth or independent reality exists outside of any investigation or observation. The main task in this model is to uncover this reality without contaminating it in any way. This notion - that a researcher can observe or uncover phenomena without affecting them - is increasingly rejected, especially in the social sciences. In qualitative research, a realistic aim is for the researcher to remain impartial; that is, to be impartial to the outcome of the research, to acknowledge their own preconceptions and to operate in as unbiased and value-free way as possible. Objectivity in social research is the principle drawn from positivism that researchers should remain distanced from what they study so findings depend on the nature of what was studied rather than on the personality, beliefs and values of the researcher. Such an approach is not accepted by researchers in the critical, standpoint or interpretivist traditions. For this reason, it seems of paramount importance to revisit the notion of Objectivity in social sciences in terms of the definitions and redefinitions of this concept in addition to investigating its practicality in (interalia): Media discourse, Translation, Text analysis (cultural, literary, legal, academic, institutional, political?etc), Text interpretation (written, spoken, audiovisual, and mixed), and research methods (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed). The conference accepts papers in English, French, and Arabic. Abstracts, the full name of the researcher, the university, and the keywords, should be sent in a single Microsoft Word document to Mr. Mimoun Melliti at tayr.tayr@gmail LAssociation Tunisienne des Jeunes Chercheurs (TAYR) Organise une conférence sur Re-visiter lObjectivité 12 et 13 juin 2015 Cité des sciences, Tunis, Tunisia La conférence vise a revoir la notion dobjectivité dans les sciences sociales en termes de définitions et redéfinitions de ce concept en plus dexplorer sa pratique dans (inter alia): Discours des médias, Traduction, Analyse du texte (culturel, littéraire, universitaire, institutionnel, politique ...), Interprétation du texte (écrit, parlé, audiovisuel, et mixte), et des méthodes de recherche (quantitative, qualitative, and mixte).
