Call for Papers:

XXXV Levy-Wasteneys Symposium
“Beyond borders: unification and division in language and literature”

In a world increasingly partitioned by artificial boundaries, language and
literature can be both forces for unity and division – simultaneously bridging
the gap between peoples and cultures, and fomenting isolationism through the
erection of rhetorical walls. This symposium welcomes reflections on the
social, aesthetic and theoretical insurrections at play within the
Luso-Hispanic world. 

Suggested themes include: 

- Language variation and change
- Contact and creolization
- Diversity and universality
- Acquisition, assimilation and fossilization
- Ancestry, tradition and ritual
- Cross-curricular teaching and interdisciplinary methods
- Cinematography and divisive imagery 
- Literature of nationalism versus globalism 
- Dystopia and post-revolution unification  
- Rebellion, silence and censorship  
- Migration literatures, border representations and diaspora
- Dissolving, memory and new identities
- Violence and emancipation
- Economic distress, climate change and migratory crises

This symposium will be an interdisciplinary celebration of the far-reaching
impact of Luso-Hispanic language and literature in areas including, but not
limited to: general linguistics, comparative literature, art history, film
studies, diaspora and transnational studies, anthropology, population
genetics, pedagogy, philosophy, political science, etc. – as such, critical
works related to these fields are particularly welcome.
  
Those interested should submit an abstract of no more than 500 words (Times
New Roman, 12pt, double-spaced) in English, Spanish or Portuguese, as well as
a brief biographical note mentioning the field of study and the academic
formation of the individual. Submissions should be e-mailed to
lwsymposium at utoronto.ca no later than May 1, 2019. Presenters will be chosen
by a multidisciplinary committee from of the Spanish and Portuguese
department. More information at:
http://spanport.utoronto.ca/lwsymposium/index.html .

Contributions that best capture the spirit of the symposium and generate a
high level of discussion through engaging subjects will be acknowledged and
considered for publication in the Association’s annual “Apuntes Hispánicos”
journal (https://issuu.com/apunteshispanicos , apunteshispanicos at gmail.com ).

The Organizing Committee rejects any mode of intellectual and/or academic
dishonesty.
