Meeting Description:

As Salazar (2016) claims, the concept of mobility captures the impression that
today's world is structured around the constant flow not only of people, but
also of cultures, objects, capital, services, media, images, information and
ideas. It is not surprising, therefore, that in the social and human sciences
mobility turn has been put forward and named. As a result, new theoretical
concepts that attempt to describe the new spatial and temporal dynamics of
today's world: deterritorialization, reterritorialization, spatial-temporal
compression, scalarity, etc. have emerged. The mobility turn is conceived as a
turn because it breaks with the traditional correspondence between person,
place and culture. But perhaps the most important aspect of the mobility turn
is that it highlights that the concept of mobility does not have an immutable
meaning but varies according to people, social circumstances and the very
concept of mobility, which is necessarily defined through its counterpart,
immobility.
 
Mobility turn is therefore a different way of framing and encompassing global
mobility, showing how physical mobility of people entails economic, social and
cultural mobility, the transformation of institutions at different levels and
spheres, and the mobilization of (linguistic) ideologies.

Call for Papers:

The committee welcomes papers from a sociolinguistic, discursive or
ethnographic linguistic perspective on theoretical or methodological aspects
researching or examining the interrelationship between mobility and
communicative practices in spaces where Ibero-Romanic languages (Spanish,
Catalan, Portuguese, Galician) and Creole languages with an Ibero-Romanic base
come into contact with other languages due to (im)mobility.
  
Questions raised by this conference are: 

How do mobilities impact on epistemic and methodological frameworks?
What happens with (linguistic) identities in mobility?
How do language practices in mobility show, change, and emerge?
How does linguistic mediation work in mobility contexts?
How are (linguistic) ideologies manifested in and with mobility?
How should mobility be studied through the linguistic landscape?
How does (im)mobility manifest in discourse (political, media, educational,
etc.)?
How is the impact of mobility on social networks shown?
How is the impact of (im)mobility on language policies and language planning
shown?
 
These questions are meant to serve as guideposts. Please feel free to submit
papers on other topics related to the conference’s theme.

Abstracts (titled) that will be submitted as proposals will have a maximum
length of 500 words (including bibliographic references). They will be written
in Times New Roman (with 1.5 spacing). The following information shall be
included on a separate sheet accompanying the summary:

Title
Names of who submitted it
Academic affiliation
Contact e-mail address

Each individual presentation will last 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes for
discussion and questions).
