Meeting Description:

Languaging Diversity is an international conference organised by the I-LanD
(Identity and Language Diversity) research centre. The conference is now at
its fourth edition.

Conference dates: September 28-30, 2017, University of Cagliari (Italy).


Final Call for Papers:

The deadline for the submission of individual papers to the Languaging
Diversity Conference – Language and Social Class has been extended. The New
deadline is March 31 2017. The results of the review process will be notified
to authors by April 30.

The University of Cagliari, Italy, and the I-LanD (Identity and Language
Diversity) research centre invite researchers and scholars to submit proposals
for individual papers on the following theme: Language and Social Class.

Following the three successful events hosted by the Universities of Naples
(2013), Catania (2014) and Macerata (2016) where topics such as diversity,
alterity and power have been explored with reference to gender, ethnicity and
culture, we are now ready to tackle the elephant in the room: Social Class. As
Machin and Richardson (2008) stated “discourses may be variously approached as
(often simultaneously) reflecting class structures, as a site of class
inequalities, as expressive of class identities or class consciousness and/or
as a constituent part of more performative class action”. We thus invite
contributions that investigate the role of language in reflecting,
maintaining, enacting and inculcating ideas of and around social class in
literary, non-literary and multimodal texts and discourse in all geographical
and linguistic areas.

The following macro-areas and/or methodological approaches are to be
understood as a general guideline and can be further extended:

- Critical Discourse Analysis
- Linguistic and cultural mediation
- Linguistic anthropology
- Corpus Linguistics
- Language crossing, switching, and mixing
- Language variation and language change
- Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s)
- Contrastive Pragmatics
- Ethnographic approaches to language
- Literary studies
- Cultural and postcolonial studies
- Popular culture
- History of ideas
