Meeting Description:

The 4th International Conference on Ecolinguistics addresses: Languaging and
Eco-civilization: Towards Consilience with the Life Sciences. The conference
aims to bring about consilience (a bringing forth of new knowledge) that can
unite those who acknowledge human responsibility for the well-being of the
living world. Accordingly, we aim to connect ecolinguists with work in fields
that include bio-ethics, ecocriticism, biosemiotics, economics and the
environmental sciences. 

Drawing on Eastern and Western thought, ecolinguistics is developing into a
discipline built on a set of international conferences, a global network of
ecolinguistic scholars, and a newly established journal and book series. ICE-4
extends how the previous three ICE conferences (held in Guangzhou, Beijing,
and Guiyang) have linked ecolinguistics to the policy of building an
ecological civilization based on Chinese characteristics. Thus, the conference
will strive to construct new ways of drawing on languages and languaging to
create sustainable eco-civilizations.

Accordingly, ICE-4 will use a multidisciplinary context to connect old and new
concerns with what linguistic expertise offers to the well-being of human and
non-human forms of life. We pursue how linguists can contribute to managing a
transition to new eco-civilizations. Looking beyond discourse, we appeal to
how activity based on scientific, social and ethical concerns draws on
linguistic expertise and skill. In so doing, we open up a transdisciplinary
domain that aims to stem biological degradation and nurture a new concern for
sustaining life on earth. 

Can linguists and other scholars contribute to the development of
eco-civilization? The question links linguistic issues with Eastern and
Western views of knowledge/ethics. In considering practical consequences, we
hope to develop consilience around the following:

1. How do languages (especially threatened languages) shape well-being by
drawing on a history of interdependency between humans and their lived
environments? 
a. How can discourse about the environment and ecological issues be used to
develop harmonious living within the bio-ecology by, for example, replacing
the stories that underpin globalised culture with new ones. 

2. How can the ethical basis of human life and languaging be used to:
a. Raise awareness of human interdependence with the living world?
b. Allow communities to harness the power of science while also recognizing
its narrow epistemic limits?
c. Pursue educational and communal ways of enhancing the well-being of local
environments?

We encourage submissions that address languaging and eco-civilizations from
theoretical or empirical perspectives, or from those directed at community and
educational practices aimed at re-establishing harmony within the bio-ecology.
We seek participation from ecolinguistics, applied and general linguistics,
ecological humanities, environmental science, economics, philosophy, cognitive
science, semiotics, translation, communication, business, education and other
related fields.
