Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2018 

Meeting Description:

The 2015–2016 phenomenon labeled the “migrant crisis” and the “refugee crisis”
generated intense discussions in the public spheres of various European
societies, as well as in their private spheres. An important part of these
discussions was identity negotiations: who are “we” and who are “they”? What
do we want our societies and public spaces to be like? What are our values?
Migration has caused visible changes in public spaces, and in the ways that
receiving and transit countries see themselves, their past and future, and
neighboring countries.

The first part of the workshop will concentrate on the public sphere: on
official, semi-official, and private discourse with migrants and migration as
its topic. The second part will concentrate on the representation of migration
and migrants in the arts and literature. Particular attention will be given to
the relation of the two general umbrella topics reflected in the two parts of
the workshop.

In this workshop, we are particularly interested in examining (a) visual and
multimodal phenomena, be it multimodal representation of migrants and
migration, or transit and receiving societies, and (b) representations of
migration, migrants, or transit and receiving societies in literature and the
arts. The phenomena we will focus on include multilingual discourse,
audiovisual testimonies, documentaries, graffiti, and graphic novels.


Call for Papers:

We welcome contributions addressing these topics that are based on original,
unpublished research. The workshop’s scope is Europe as an entire region. We
also welcome contributions dealing with some other regions that comparatively
include a view on Europe.
On the basis of the contributions to the two workshop parts (clusters), we
will prepare either two special issues of academic journals or will consider
including some of the contributions in an edited volume. The workshop will
also serve as a basis for developing applications for funding at the national
and international levels.

Abstract submission:

Please send paper proposals (maximum 300 words plus references) in English to:
migrations2018 at ilos.uio.no. The abstracts should clearly relate to the
workshop topics, indicate the area(s)/countries dealt with, state the research
questions, identify the empirical material, and outline the method(s) used.
Your proposal should also contain the title of your presentation, your full
name, institutional affiliation, and e-mail address, as well as your
discipline.

Extended deadline for submitting abstracts: April 15, 2018.
Acceptance notification: April 30, 2018.

Additional information:

The workshop presentations will be twenty minutes followed by ten minutes for
questions and discussion.
