Meeting Description:

Language is a socio-cultural tool that serves amongst others to
encapsulate the inter-subjective conceptualizations of people. As
conceptualizations are inherently embedded in cultural practices, the
relationship between language and culture can be multi-stratal. One of
the areas where the relationship between language and culture is most
visible is in literary productions. A recognition of these intricate
relations is key to understanding our collective humanness.

Recognizing these relations is however not an end in itself; the
practical implications and applications are far-reaching. Amongst
these is an understanding of a people's past, present and future;
especially as language, a carrier of culture, in its literary
manifestations, offers insights into different worldviews. Thus, one
way to understand a people, is to investigate their language, culture,
or literary productions. Such an epistemology has however not always
benefited from falsifiable objectivity in its application to different
languages, cultures, and literary works. Consequently, different
biases can be observed in various theorisations in the humanistic
sciences.

Recent happenings in the world have come to question such received
knowledge, calling for their interrogation. These have brought into
sharp focus the need for an auto-evaluation on the part of scholars
working especially in language, literature, and culture, in order to
produce knowledge that repositions the past while shaping the future.
It is in this light that the Federation Internationale des Langues et
Littératures Modernes (FILLM), in collaboration with the School of
Languages, University of Ghana, invites proposals for individual
papers and roundtable panels for its 29th congress, which is themed
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures: Repositioning the Past,
Innovating the Present.
