Meeting Description:

Background
Languaging Diversity is an international biannual conference of the I-Land
Inter-university Research Center, an international and interdisciplinary
center based at the Università di Napoli “L’Orientale”, Italy. It welcomes
scholars interested in a variety of fields such as Linguistics, Social
Sciences, and the Humanities. The concepts of identity and diversity are at
the core of the conference series. These are investigated cross-culturally,
cross-linguistically and from interdisciplinary perspectives.

Following the seven successful events hosted by the Universities of Napoli
(2013), Catania (2014), Macerata (2016), Cagliari (2017), Antwerp (2018),
Teruel (2019), and Lille (2021), the eighth edition of the Languaging
Diversity conference (LD2023) will be organized by the Università di Torino,
Italy. The event will be hosted IN PERSON and ONLINE.



Call for Papers:

Focus
The 8th  edition of the Languaging Diversity Conference (LD2023) focuses on
the representation and the languaging of identities against the backdrop of
our rapidly changing societies. Cultures, traditions, and customs are evolving
very quickly; in the same way, the interpretation of the concept of identity
is undergoing a significant transformation. 

The contributions presented at the LD2023 conference will explore how people
embrace the opportunities and overcome the challenges of current times to
create a space for their identities to be acknowledged and recognized.

Research which investigates traditional and digital genres in different
domains, including (but not limited to) gender and sexuality, ethnicity,
disability, ageism, religion, ecology, medicine and science, media, politics,
the law, education, and learning is welcome.

With its focus on identity, Languaging Diversity 2023 invites contributions
from researchers in linguistic, literary, translation, interpreting and
cultural studies, as well as from academics in neighboring disciplines with an
interest in identity construction through language.  Abstracts on research
that focuses on any language are welcome, but the language of the conference
is English. 

The conference is open, but not limited, to the following topics:

The representation of identity in traditional and new media
Institutional discourse and identity representation 
Identities in translation 
Audiovisual translation, interpreting and accessibility as vehicles
for/subverters of identity representation
Identity construction in postcolonial settings 
Language, gender identity and sexuality
National/nationalist identity construction
Language, identity and disability
Language, identity and ethnicity
Language, identity and ageism
Language, identity and religion 
Linguistic identity construction: native/L1 vs. non-native/L2
Identity in academic, professional and specialized domains
