Meeting Description:

(Session of 49th Poznań Linguistic Meeting)

Linguistic Landscape and Memory: Linguistics, geography and cultural studies
in urban research
Conveners: M. Fabiszak, I. Buchstaller

Place names provide the daily spatial framework for human activities. But
beyond their mundane indexical importance as spatial reference landmarks,
place names are inevitably loaded with history and ideology, reflecting the
present and the past of people, places and nations. As Moszberger et al.
(2002:5) point out, naming practices are particularly revelatory for tracing
changes in representational politics. In cases of massive renamings, there is
often a breach in the cultural transmission of collective memory, when younger
generations treat the reworked cityscape as timeless and natural (Fabiszak &
Brzezińska 2016, 2018). What for older generations is a revolutionary wiping
out of old heroes and values they stood for, becomes the “natural order of
things” (Fairclough 2003:2) for the younger generation.

To date, research on street name changes has been conducted in different
academic disciplines. LL studies and historical geography document and analyze
commemorative renaming of streets following ideological shifts in recent
history (Borowiak 2012, Karolczak 2005). Critical toponymy explores “power
relations, public memory [and] identity formation” in commemorative renaming
(Azaryahu 2012:388). More recently, researchers in collective memory have
appealed for research to transgress disciplinary boundaries (Kaltenberg-
Kwiatkowska 2011:138, Brzezińska & Chwieduk 2012:20-23). Similar calls for a
rapprochement between research traditions have been voiced in LL research
(Soukup & Amos 2016, Buchstaller & Alvanides 2016) and critical geography
(Azaryahu 2011).

In this thematic session we invite linguists, geographers, sociologists,
ethnographers and representatives from related disciplines to contribute
presentations revolving around the following questions:

(1) What are the new trends in place / street (re-)naming practices? Who are
the agents behind these (re-)namings? How do these renamings influence the
“ideological robe of the city” (Zieliński 1994)?
(2) How are these changes reported, legitimized and critiqued in the media?
How are they received by grassroots inhabitants?
(3) How can various disciplines researching place/street (re-)namings
contribute to our understanding of these semiotic changes? How can we
integrate the results received from different methods of data gathering and
analysis into one holistic approach?

Final Call for Papers:

Deadline for abstract submission has been extended to April 22, 2019.
Abstracts should be submitted via the Poznań Linguistic Meeting (PLM) Easy
Chair system.
