Meeting Description:

The annual Linguistic Landscape Workshop is the leading international meeting
for interdisciplinary research on language in public space. After a long
series of editions around the world, the 14th Linguistic Landscape Workshop
(LL14) will take place in Madrid on September 6-8, 2023.

With Landscapes of utopia and dystopia as the thematic axis to articulate the
conference, LL14 will explore the dystopian character of our daily reality,
but also utopian imagination worldwide, as reflected in the linguistic
landscape around us. We encourage contributions on how utopia and dystopia are
constructed in public space; how people appropriate public spaces and which
political subjects emerge; on the definition, nature, and function of utopian
ideas; as well as on the prefigurative and performative forces of linguistic
landscapes. As always, LL14 also welcomes contributions on other lines of work
within the field of linguistic landscapes. This announcement is for the
session exploring Development and its emplacement in Linguistic Landscapes:
“How my utopia could very well be your dystopia” The political economy of
development and its reflexes on the Linguistic Landscapes.

Call for Papers:

Our accepted panel focuses on development and its emplacement in Linguistic
Landscapes with the title “How my utopia could very well be your dystopia” The
political economy of development and its reflexes on the Linguistic
Landscapes. 

This panel aims at bringing together multidisciplinary lenses on the
Linguistic Landscapes (LL) to probe into the dynamics shaped by development in
a broad sense. Inspired by the rationalizations underpinning the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) we would like to draw the attention to the
often-invisible dynamics of who are the losers and the winners in the game,
and thus the distributional effect of development seen from different social
actors´ positionings or perspectives. By bringing out the way in which “my
utopia could very well be your dystopia”, we channel the attention towards the
political economy of development or the downright conflicts salient in the
scramble for resources and intrinsic to development. More specifically we
encourage studies which focus on the distributional dynamics of development
processes across economic, environmental and social dimensions. We believe
that Linguistic Landscape Studies offer a promising and powerful lens which
can serve to unravel the tensions between utopia and dystopia by displaying
the (in)equalities inherent to the sustainable development agenda.  We
particularly encourage perspectives that capture the perspectives of different
social actors and which can unpack how utopia and dystopia can be seen as
distinct concomitant perspectives. Such perspectives can focus on, but are not
limited to, the disruption of the people-place relation brought about by
development, how development finds reflexes in affordances such as access to
resources, to urban space and to mobility, the representation of certain
social groups or languages and how the dynamics between these may have changed
over time. We welcome LL displaying economic, social and ecological settings
in diverse geographical areas. Hence, we highly welcome perspectives from
multiple angles, socially, geographically and linguistically to the analyses
of how LL and the political economy of development relate.

At this point we welcome submissions for this panel/colloquium. If you have
any questions please enter into contact with Torun Reite (tre at du.se). All
submissions should be submitted via the Symposium platform:
https://eventos.uam.es/86674/upload/14th-linguistic-landscape-workshop-utopias
-y-distopias.html  and should indicate and specify the panel/colloquium. 

Each paper will be allocated a 30-minute slot (20 for presentation and a
further 10 minutes for discussion). Please submit a paper proposal (max. 300
words), 3 keywords, and names and affiliations of authors. 

Papers to be included in a previously accepted colloquia, such as this one,
will undergo individual evaluations as well. Please submit a paper proposal
(max. 300 words), 3 keywords, names and affiliations of authors, and the title
of the panel 

Deadline for individual papers (also papers within accepted colloquia): 1
March 2023.

Every abstract will be evaluated by the LL14 scientific committee on the basis
of its contribution to the field of linguistic landscapes; its epistemic
openness and innovative character; its relationship with the conference theme;
and its methodological adequacy. The final selection of colloquia/papers, as
well as the on-site/online allocation, will be made by the LL14 organizing
committee according to the host capacity of the venue.
