Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 30-Dec-2022 

Meeting Description:

Race, religion and royalty (3R) are relatively entrenched in Southeast Asia,
often constituting the basis of legitimacy to governance. 3R legitimizes the
dominance of particular groups in Southeast Asian countries and normalizes
ethno-religious collective identities. Despite Western-based political
systems, the region continues to present the preference for selected groups in
socio-cultural milieus. It has not helped cohesion for its socio-demographic
cleavages, namely ethnic, linguistic, regional or religious.

 While the study of 3R has gained adequate focus in various disciplines,
discourse is rarely evoked to understand the relations among race, religion
and royalty in the everyday lives of the region’s inhabitants. The study of
discourse unearths how 3R is represented, evaluated and (re)negotiated.
Discourse can articulate arguments for and against the status quo, becoming
orthodox or heterodox.

The 1st Malaysian Discourse Research Group (MDRG) and Asia Pacific Research
Unit (APRU) Symposium intends to bring together scholars studying Southeast
Asia, whose research explore the manifestation of 3R in texts. We understand
texts to be in audio, print or digital formats, and may use any Southeast
Asian language alone or in conjunction with other modes (e.g. color, image,
sound). These texts may be official or non-official, outstanding or banal but
discursively contribute to convey notions of 3R.

We welcome oral presentation abstracts discursively examining race, religion
and royalty alone or their interconnection in any Southeast Asian country.
They should employ relevant approaches in linguistic or literary disciplines
to analyze 3R and their influence on the region’s inhabitants.

 The symposium will be held in person at IIUM Gombak and online on 23 and 24
February 2023. The registration fee is RM 100. For inquiries, email Dr. Siti
Nurnadilla Mohamad Jamil (nadillajamil at iium.edu.my) or Dr. Kumaran Rajandran
(rkumaran at usm.my). Submit abstracts (250-300 words) by 30 December 2022 at

We look forward to receiving your abstracts!
