>Colloquium abstract: NARRATIVE AND IDENTITY
>
>The investigation of identity has seen a resurgence of interest in 
>sociolinguistics and discourse analysis as a growing body of literature 
>stresses the central role that language plays in the construction, 
>negotiation and ratification of identities. At the same time, social 
>constructionist approaches have pointed to the multifaceted nature of 
>social identities and, crucially, to the role of interaction in their 
>construction. In linguistics  these approaches have variously borrowed 
>from Bakhtin's (1984) ideas on multiple voicing , Goffman's (1981) 
>notions of participation frameworks and of  "self-presentation" (1954), 
>Davie's and Harre's (1990) proposals about positioning, Gumpertz' 
>groundbreaking work on  contextualization (1982and 1992), only to name 
>some fundamental points of reference. More recent developments have also 
>suggested that identities in many modern societies reflect the complex 
>experiences of individuals and communities with multiple areas of 
>identification, and multiple spheres of social interaction (Hill, 1999). 
>Narrative has been seen by many researchers in linguistics and other 
>areas as a privileged locus for the study of identity. The objective of 
>this colloquium is to further explore this nexus exemplifying ways in 
>which narratives allow us to speak of "identities", rather than 
>"identity".  Topics for papers include the following questions: What 
>specific linguistic resources are exploited by speakers to convey 
>identities ? How are locally constructed identities related to more 
>global ones? What kinds of multiple and /or conflicting self 
>presentations may inhabit the same narrative space? What kinds of 
>interactions exist in narrative between identities that narrators choose 
>and socially attributed or  prescribed ones?  Contributions are invited 
>on different genres within narrative discourse including personal 
>narratives, life stories, institutional narratives.
