Meeting Description:

The annual Conference of the International Association for the Integrational
Study of Language and Communication (IAISLC) will be held at the Federal
University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, September 1-2, 2020, and will be hosted
primarily by the Post-Graduate Program of Linguistics at the Federal
University of Santa Catarina.

Rationale and aims: 

This landmark event in the history of the IAISLC will critically explore the
potential contribution that integrationism may make in the wider spheres of
political practice, ethics, and social responsibility. To this end, the
conference will encourage and facilitate productive encounters between
integrationism and other perspectives on language and communication with a
view to clarifiying and sharpening the critical tools necessary to the
understanding and furthering of the interests of people in the Global South.
  
For integrationism, communication, as a fundamental dimension of human social
existence, cannot be reduced to a system of signs that can be mechanically
and/or pragmatically decoded and categorized: communication is nothing less
than human beings’ necessary involvement with and response to others
throughout the life course. Language, an integrated dimension within the whole
continuum of signifying practice, therefore presupposes and helps to create a
communitarian way of being in the world.  The immediate implication of such a
perspective is that politics and ethics are indissolubly bound to the
communicational organization of everyday social life. We are consequently keen
to explore how language studies in general may benefit from the broader
concept of public sphere which integrationism offers in which both action and
discourse are seen from the perspective of plurality and co-existence.

Objectives of IAISLC 2020:

The main objective of the conference is to contribute to the further
development of the integrationist perspective through critical dialogue with
other approaches to language and communication. A secondary  objective is to
explore the interdisciplinary applications and implications of integrationism
for diverse regions of the world, with or without a history of colonialism.
The conference will therefore invite discussion and evaluation of the
strengths and weaknesses of the contribution of integrationist scholarship in
relation to other frameworks, including sociocultural theory, critical
discourse analysis, ethnomethodology and language ideology. By subjecting
integrationism itself to critical analysis and evaluation, we hope to address
the main question of IAISLC 2019: How far can integrationism help us in the
task of “academically decolonizing traditional sociolinguistics?”
A third objective is to explore the extent to which integrationism can capture
the multifaceted and contradictory linguistic experiences of people on the
margins of society whose communicational practices have not so far been a
focus for integrationistic thinking. In doing so, we wish to discuss how to
best create a partnership with the Global South and with communities that were
previously marginalized in the collaborative work of building and extending
the relevance and reach of integrationism as a radically critical
communicational philosophy.


Call for Papers:

IAISLC 2020

We would like to invite:

1. papers that explore the intersection or conflict between integrationism and
other contemporary approaches to language and communication, including
posthumanism, ethnomethodology, decolonisation, language rights and animal
rights. Such papers should provide an exploration of the dynamic and
constantly developing field of integrationist philosophy and analysis;
2. papers that explore the significance and implications of integrationism for
an understanding of conflictual social practice and political mobilisation,
with particular reference to the Global South and to marginalized and migrant
communities.

 
Format of the conference:
 
Conference contributions will be invited according to the following formats: 

- individual papers of 40 to 45 minutes each, with 15 minutes for discussion; 
- symposia, consisting of a 2-4 papers on a particular topic with Introduction
from the symposium Coordinator; 
- theme-related round-table discussions, to be proposed and coordinated by the
Conference organizers.
 
Abstracts of a maximum of 300 words must be submitted by individual presenters
or Symposium Coordinators to Cristine Severo (crisgorski at gmail.com) by
February 29, 2020. Decisions regarding the status of submission will be made
by May 31, 2020.
