  The theme of this year’s conference is “rhetoric as equipment for living”.As a rhetorician and literary critic interested in how we use symbols, Kenneth Burke famously described human beingsas the symbol-making, symbol-usingand symbol-misusinganimal. He argued that our interpretations, perceptions, judgements and attitudes are all influenced and ‘deflected’ by the symbols that we make, use and misuse, and that we are at the same time used by these symbols. This implies that we can approach the world eithersymbol-wiseorsymbol-foolish. The conference aims to explore how rhetorical concepts, theories and methods from a broad range of rhetorical traditions can be used as tools –equipment –to make students, teachers, scholars, activists and citizens symbol-wise: to understand the way linguistic, cultural, narrative, affective... symbols work, and to develop critical engagement with, as well as on behalf of, those symbols. At the same time the conference aims to critically unpack what it implies to becomesymbol-wisewithin different institutional contexts. It furthermore wants to explore if and how rhetoric can still be relevant in an increasingly media-saturated knowledge society that is continuously in transition and that is becoming ever more complex and paradoxical by political, economic and cultural differences on a global scale.
