Meeting Description:

The theme of this ESFLC is ‘Social Semiotics & Social Justice.’ Our era of
impending climate catastrophe, likely to hit the poorest hardest and earliest,
and increasing inequality of opportunity and wealth, revealed in the
concentration of COVID-19 death and illness in the most disadvantaged groups
in society, is matched with an increasing understanding of how discourse is
implicated in reproducing social relations. Our conference will explore how
meaning-making in all modalities can contribute to social justice. While we
welcome analyses that expose how social justice can be extended or threatened
by social semiosis, we encourage speakers to describe meaningful action that
will improve social justice. We look forward to diverse responses to this
challenge.

We welcome our plenary speakers, Professor Tom Bartlett (University of
Glasgow), Professor David Block (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Professor Ruth
Harman (University of Georgia) and Professor Theo van Leeuwen (University of
Southern Denmark & University of Technology, Sydney), to explore ‘Social
Semiotics & Social Justice’ from different perspectives and we look forward to
a range of symposia, talks and workshops that will examine our theme in depth.

As always, ESFLC also welcomes all proposals that engage with SFL and report
on new research into discourse, critical discourse, educational and multimodal
studies.

Sheffield Hallam University is proud to host this online conference from a
city at the heart of the industrial revolution, a centre of political
resistance, a hub for outdoor activity and a hospitable place to meet friends
old and new, to make new meanings and to start building a better future.


Call for Papers: 

This conference aims to explore the many ways that language and other modes of
meaning-making play an integral role in preventing or promoting social
justice. The conference expects SFL and associated disciplines to bring
diverse perspectives to bear on the understanding, intervention and disruption
of embedded power relations and ideologies through the analysis of semiotic
processes. We especially welcome papers that connect the theme to these areas
of research:
 - Multimodality and social semiotics
 - Critical & positive discourse analysis
 - Appliable linguistics
 - Political economy & social structure
 - Education & applied linguistics

We also welcome other papers that relate to the theme of ‘Social Semiotics and
Social Justice’ and as always we aim to provide a forum for all SFL research.

Our experienced scientific committee will review submissions for 1-hour
workshops, single-themed symposia with multiple speakers, 10-minute ‘Lightning
Talks’, 25-minute papers presented live or pre-recorded (including 5 minutes
for questions & discussion) or flipped pre-recorded presentations for
30-minute live discussions.

The language of ESFLC2021 will be English.

Submission opens 12 April 2021 and will close 11 June 2021. 

Submissions should align with one of these strands:
 - Advances in SFL research
 - Advances in SFL theory
 - Analysis of political discourse
 - Applied & Appliable linguistics
 - Critical & Positive Discourse Analysis
 - Discourse Analysis
 - Ecolinguistics
 - Education & pedagogy, including multi-literacies
 - Legitimation Code Theory
 - Multimodality
 - Political economy
 - Synthesis of SFL with other approaches
