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also represent previously unpublished work, as we are planning to select the 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

affiliation, preferred mailing address, telephone and fax if available, <BR>
e-mail address, and any special audio-visual equipment that may be needed <BR>
for the presentation. If the paper being presented was co- authored, the <BR>
presenter's name should be listed first, and any co-authors listed <BR>
alphabetically afterwards. Only the presenter's contact information is <BR>
needed.<BR>
<BR>
(2) the 600-word proposal with the title of the presentation, but no other <BR>
identifying information.<BR>
<BR>
Proposal submissions should be received no later than December 30, 2002. <BR>
Please plan your submission timing accordingly, especially if you are <BR>
sending your abstract from abroad, and submit presentation proposals to the <BR>
symposium coordinators as follows:<BR>
<BR>
* If you presently reside in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa or Asia, <BR>
send your proposal to Serafín M. Coronel- Molina at the address listed at <BR>
the beginning of this announcement.<BR>
<BR>
* Residents of Canada, the USA, Europe and Australia send your proposals to <BR>
Linda L. Grabner-Coronel at the address listed at the beginning of this <BR>
announcement. <BR>
<BR>
Proposals may be submitted via regular surface mail, email or fax. If you <BR>
choose to submit your abstract via email, please send it as a Word <BR>
attachment so that the above guidelines may still be followed. Early <BR>
submission of abstracts is strongly encouraged, to expedite the decision <BR>
making process. Submitters will be notified by email no later than the end <BR>
of January 2003 of their acceptance in the symposium; submitters who do not <BR>
have access to email will be notified by regular surface mail or fax. For <BR>
