Meeting Description:

The Inaugural Conference on Asian Linguistic Anthropology, The CALA 1 (2019),
in Cambodia, symbolizes a significant movement forward for Linguistic
Anthropology, and in problematizing current perspectives and praxis in the
field.

Conceptualized several years prior to the upcoming conference, the CALA seeks
to respond to concerns by those within respective fields, Linguistics,
Anthropology, Sociolinguistics, Sociology, Cultural studies, and of course
Linguistic Anthropology These concerns include the reduced (opportunity for)
focus on Asian regions and work by Asian academics, largely contributable to
issues of funding and expertise. These concerns also include that academics
globally seek to both work on Asian regions and with Asian regions, but
impeded by the absence of appropriate networks.

The CALA 1, thus aims to begin an era within which to opportune these
academics to transfer knowledge, expertise, and valuable Linguistic and
Anthropological Data across the world, through the interpersonal and
inter-institutional networks the CALA conferences seek to build.

To ground these efforts, the Conference, at The Paññāsāstra University of
Cambodia at the centre, seeks to network a growing number of Institutions
globally, to support this much needed project.

The theme for the inaugural CALA is Revitalization and Representation, a theme
pertinent to the current state of many Asian regions and countries vis-a-vis
their global analogues.

Emerging from a complex weaving for received and produced colonializations,
the languages and ethnicities within Asia have experienced strong curtailment
and denigration, to the point where many have reached near extinction, while
others have passed the point of extinction. Here, these languages and
ethnicities require urgent revitalization through an anthropological set of
approaches, in collaboration with academic, and non-academic, networks
globally. Revitalization can be engendered effectively through the complex
channels associated with and effected through the extensive and vast work
developed in Representation. Cambodia seems to be at the centre of this need
for focus, with many ethnicity and their languages currently on the brink of
extinction, and with several now having less than ten living speakers.

Though The Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia will host the Inaugural
conference in 2019, in Siem Reap, the conference will be hosted by a different
Institution globally, annually, while Paññāsāstra remains at the helm of the
Conference so to collaborate with all institutions wishing to involve
themselves with and in the CALA network.

We thus welcome you to the CALA 1, in 2019, the Inaugural Conference on Asian
Linguistic Anthropology, and to the CALA in general.
