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).
