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.
2nd Call for Papers:
Themes:
Revitalization and Representation
Location:
Royal Angkor Resort & Spa
Phum Kasekum, NR6, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia
Presentation lengths:
– Colloquia – 1.5 hours with 3-5 contributors (Part A and B is possible, thus
6-10 contributors)
– Papers – 25 minutes, includes 5 minutes for questions/responses
– Posters – to be displayed at designated times throughout the CALA
Abstract Submission Guidelines:
– Submission of proposals for papers, posters, and colloquia should be
completed via the online submission website.
– 18-word maximum presentation title
– 400-word maximum abstract, including references
– Colloquia: Upload the abstract for the colloquium, in the submissions box.
The abstract must contain both the main description of the colloquium, as well
as a summarized description of each individual paper to be presented within
the colloquium. This information must include the names and affiliations of
each authors and presenter, and the title of each respective
session/presentation, as well as any other information believed to be
relevant.
– For individual papers submitted for review and acceptance into the general
sessions, the first author will be the nominated ‘Corresponding Author’, but
can also be a ‘Presenting author’ when completing the profile.
– Each author must also confirm their role: Presenting author, non-presenting
author, chair or discussant.
Evaluation of proposals:
Proposals for individual papers, posters, and colloquia will be evaluated by
the CALA Review Committee, with criteria as follows:
– Appropriateness and significance of the topic to CALA themes
– Originality/significance/impact of the research
– Clarity/coherence of research concerns, theoretical and analytical
framework(s), description of research, data collection, findings/conclusions,
rhetoric, and exegesis as a whole
– For colloquia, importance/significance of the overarching topic and/or
framework(s) addressed, and its coherence of and with individual
presentations. All abstracts for presentations within the colloquia will not
be peer reviewed by the CALA review committee, but are expected to be at a
standard commensurate to the parent colloquium abstract, which will be peer
reviewed by the CALA review committee. Thus, the acceptance of the colloquium,
and hence all presentations and discussions within that colloquium, becomes
predicated on the success of the review of the main proposal for that
colloquium, submitted by the main organizers of the respective colloquium.
– All abstracts for general sessions, which are selected and placed by the
CALA selection committee, will be double blind reviewed.
Conditions of Submissions:
– A participant may be first author/presenter in a maximum of two
presentations, be it individual papers, posters, or papers within colloquia.

further presentation.

presentation, and chair, discussant, or co-author in a maximum of two other

– All proposals must present or interpret original work otherwise yet
unavailable.
– The language of the CALA is English. However, abstracts may be submitted in
any language, but together with an English translation.
– Presenters can present in any language, but must prepare an English
translation for the presentation.
– The CALA Committee will assign all relevant schedules to accepted
individuals and groups.
– Presenters must register and pay prior to October 25, 2018, to confirm their
place at the CALA 2019, and hence for their presentations to be confirmed in
