cesar.itier@wanadoo.fr SYMPOSIUM THEMES AND OBJECTIVES The Andean region, long
known as a nexus of cultures and languages bound up in a colonizing context,
suffers asymmetrical relationships of political, economic, sociocultural and
linguistic power. The primary focus of this symposium is on the interface
between cultures, languages and ideologies; its objective is to explore the
ways in which such interfaces and power dynamics have affected the linguistic
and social identities of not only indigenous groups but of the wider societies
as a whole, affecting national, regional, ethnic and gendered identity
formation. What do people do with their repertoire of languages and identities?
How do they constitute their multiple ethnic, linguistic and national
identities? How do linguistic, political and social ideologies mediate cultural
patterning in terms of ethnic or gendered identities? These are some of the
questions we would like to address in this symposium, by examining Andean
identities and ideologies from interdisciplinary perspectives such as
sociolinguistic/ethnolinguistic, cultural/anthropological (including linguistic
anthropology), literary, political, social semiotic, educational, and
historical. The ultimate goal of the symposium is to analyze the sociocultural
and sociolinguistic impacts of colonialism and postcolonialism in a variety of
contexts, historical and contemporary, concentrating on the interaction between
dominant and dominated languages and their functions in identity construction.
Proposed presentations should consider the use and representation of language,
gender or ethnicity as symbols and constituents of individual, group, societal
and national identities. Some possible topics are listed below; other themes
that are related to any of these areas are also welcome. POSSIBLE TOPICS *
Ideologies of Linguistic and Social Differentiation * Language and Political
Economy * Language Attitudes and Identities * Language Policy/Planning from
Multiple Perspectives * Languages and Cultures in Contact * Bilingualism,
Multilingualism and Other Forms of Linguistic Heteroglossia * Linguistic Rights
and Indigenous Languages * Language Shift, Maintenance and Revitalization *
Indigenous Languages in Mass Media, the Internet and Multimedia * Rural and
Urban Identities * Transnational Nature of Languages and Identities * Effects
of Globalization on Language, Culture and Identity * Language, Gender, and
Race/Ethnicity * Reproduction of Social and Linguistic Discrimination and
Inequality * Mestizaje and Socio-Political Ideologies in Local, National and
Global Contexts Given the interrelatedness and fluidity of all aspects of the
questions we wish to consider, it is neither easy nor necessarily desirable to
present a single perspective. Therefore, novel perspectives and approaches to
these or related topics are encouraged, and may include interactions among two
or more themes. Particular approaches might include any one or a combination of
the following, or may take other forms that presenters find relevant and
useful: a) narratives and testimonies; b) case studies; c) literary,
sociopolitical, linguistic anthropological and semiotic analyses of language
and culture; d) educational efforts; e) historical and contemporary approaches;
f) social, literary or linguistic constructions of national/ethnic/gendered
identities. Individual presentations should not exceed 20 minutes in length
(8-10 typewritten pages, double spaced). PROPOSAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Proposals should be no longer than 600 words, and may be in any of the four
