Call Deadline: 15-Oct-2013 

Meeting Description:

In 2014, the 6th Linguistic Landscapes International Workshop will be 
organized by the University of Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa. 
The three day workshop/conference will be held from Wednesday 9th April 
2014 to Friday 11th April 2014, with optional city tours made available on the 
second day of the conference. LL6 will be hosted at two venues, both at the 
beautiful Two Oceans Aquarium in the V&A Waterfront and at the historical 
University of the Western Cape.

The general theme of the workshop will be 'Hope and Precarity'. This theme is 
relevant given the last decade's global developments which have accelerated 
large scale migration and the spread of communication technologies. 
Collectively, these global developments are having demonstrable effects on 
the social, cultural, educational, political, economic, religious, and ethical 
structures, from remote communities to multi-country political-economic 
blocs. The conference theme is especially important for emerging nations and 
contexts on the periphery of the global economy. We therefore focus on how 
linguistic landscapes reflect, index and contrast these themes, their power 
semiotics across a broad range of societal arena. 

In order to keep to the original format of previous linguistic landscapes 
workshops there will be a limited number of paper presentations 
(approximately 30) as well as one plenary poster session. 

Call for Papers:

The general theme of the workshop will be ''Hope and Precarity''. We 
particularly welcome papers which reflect different dimensions and areas 
along which hope and precarity find expression; in commodification, politics, 
protest, utopias (dystopias), religion, etc.

We will be preparing for approximately 30 paper presentations and one poster 
session for work in progress and project presentations. Due to there being no 
parallel sessions there will be a peer reviewed selection.

Guidelines:

All submissions have to be made online. Abstracts should be between 200 
and 300 words.

First call for submissions: 5 September 2013

Second call for submissions: 15 October 2013.

Notification of acceptance: 10 November 2013
