Meeting Description:

The International Language and Territory Colloquium, held in Sudbury (Canada,
2010) Tbilisi (Georgia, 2015), Kenitra (Morocco, 2017) and Trento (Italy,
2019), brought together a large number of researchers from all over the world
to discuss various themes and contexts in which language and territory are
interrelated. 

Language and territory both conceptually refer to social structuring, space
and a sense of belonging. A historical approach to these notions reveals
innovation and new practices in the societies that shape them. They are also
highly polysemic terms with differing semantic contours according to usage,
context, aims. The representations they embody are sustained by underlying
links and structures. Together, they evoke exchanges, movements, blending, but
also withdrawal and conflict. They are an invitation to travel, to creativity,
to self-expression or to encounters with the Other.

This colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories
are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise
from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and
women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the
logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices,
which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. 

The ''boundaries'' we draw between languages and territories are permeable in
time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language
policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and
socio-cultural values. 

The 5th Edition of the International Language and Territory Colloquium will be
held on Occitan territory. Thus, an important question arises: the territory
of the Occitan language appears on linguistic maps that are more or less
exact, and whose boundaries have varied since the early 19th century. It is
not currently identified as an administrative territory, even if one third of
the area has appropriated the name Occitania, nor has it ever existed
historically as a territory. Instead, there were various provinces, whose
boundaries were not tied to any linguistic referent. It is a linguistically
diverse territory, and as such it can give rise to debate. In short, one could
not imagine a better illustration of the issues addressed by the colloquium,
which will take place within a multi- and interdisciplinary framework allowing
an exchange of systematic and analytical approaches on the complexity of the
links and interfaces between languages and territories.
