Meeting Description:

The Field of Excellence “Dimensions of Europeanization” of the University of
Graz organizes the ARQUS Research Focus Forum „Changing Societies – Dimensions
of Europeanization” on November 26-28, 2021 in collaboration with the
Vice-Rectorate for Research and Career Development, the ARQUS team and the
Center for Southeast European Studies (CSEES). 

The Field of Excellence deals with social transformation processes in
Southeastern Europe from a comparative perspective. ''Dimensions of
Europeanization'' explores changing discourses about the understanding,
organization, and in particular the unification of the material and figurative
territory referred to as “Europe” in time and space. It builds on the
long-established research expertise in Southeastern Europe at the University
of Graz.


Call for Papers:

Language and Plurality in Europe’s Changing Societies

Europe is one of the world’s least diverse continents linguistically, yet
European languages are disproportionately dominant in international
communication, diplomacy, science, on the Internet. Linguistic diversity is a
reality in any society, including European ones, at any given time; however,
the correlation between language and territory characteristic of the modern
nation-statebuilding processes in Europe since the 19th century sometimes
threatens and reduces this diversity. Additionally, political, ecological and
economic issues of our own time—globalization, climate change, migration
patterns, urbanization and technologization—point further to the need of
studying, maintaining and promoting (linguistic) plurality in the European
context, not as exceptionality, but as normality. Submissions investigating
topics such as: multi- and plurilingualism in European contexts; migration,
integration, language and creativity; language diversity as diachronic and
synchronic normality; are especially encouraged.

How to Apply:

The Research Focus Forum invites researchers at all levels and in particular
all ARQUS members (including early stage researchers) interested in the topic
„Changing Societies – Dimensions of Europeanization” to submit a 400 word
abstract and short bio in 200 words, as well as contact information until 1
September 2021 to europeanization at uni-graz.at.
Remuneration for accepted panelists from ARQUS partner universities will be
covered*, as well as for a limited number of participants from other
institutions. Funding is available for travel and accommodation costs for
participants from Arqus universities within the framework of the Arqus
European University Alliance. Please contact the Arqus Officer at your
university. (*To be clarified with the Arqus rules of the Grant Agreement.)
We are very much looking forward to exchanging research and to establishing,
fostering, and developing sustainable contacts with our ARQUS partner
universities and our colleagues in the determined research area. The event
will offer time for internal networking and will reach out to the public.
