CALL FOR PAPERS

AILA Migration and Language Research Network
3rd International Seminar on Language and Migration

Theme: Institutions, Language and Migration: Processes, Power and Control

February 2 - 3, 2009

Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

The third AILA Migration and Language Research Network seminar takes
up the theme of language and migration in connection with social
institutions (for social welfare, justice, health, administration,
education) involved in the construction of the nation-State and its
citizen populations. Language provides a privileged angle for
examining the challenges to the functioning of social organizations
represented by neoliberalism and the increased mobility of human and
material resources. The present seminar examines the changes in both
established institutional domains of the nation-State and in newly
emerging forms of social organization (NGOs, communication networks,
tourism, supranational agencies and so on) with special attention
dedicated to institutional process, power and control and to the
challenges posed by linguistic diversity.

Papers are invited on:
- Multilingualism and the new economy
- Globalization and the shaping of new language practices
- The management of (language) multilingualism in private, public and
non- governmental organizations
- Language in the exercise of agency, power and institutional control
- Institutional ideologies, communication practices and processes of social
exclusion/inclusion
- Theoretical and conceptual frames for explaining language, migration and
institutions
