Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the upcoming International Conference IPAN
(“Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Anorexia Nervosa”), to be held at
the University of Bologna (Italy) on May 26th, 2023, in hybrid (both
in-person and online) format. The conference is centered on the study
of AN in its various aspects, but it particularly focuses on its
linguistic profile.

2nd Call for Papers:

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychopathological gendered disorder
characterized by disturbance in eating behavior, which manifests in
the form of dysfunctional routines, such as food deprivation,
obsessive weight control, and compulsive physical exercise. Beyond the
disordered eating behaviors, AN appears to be also characterized by
inflexible thinking, rigid habits, disconnection from the bodily
experience, strong sensitivity to praise, anxiety, and perfectionism.
Interestingly, from a very linguistic point of view, evidence of the
linguistic changes characterizing patients with eating disorders seems
to be less clear and the overall picture more blurred.

Despite the fact that in the last decade a growing body of linguistic
studies have been devoted to the investigation of linguistic changes
in various clinical conditions, only a limited number of works have
been specifically conducted on the linguistic profile of patients with
eating disorders (ED), and an even smaller number has specifically
focused on AN. This has meant that not only many issues are still
unsolved, but that several linguistic aspects of AN happen to be
unexplored territory.

“Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Anorexia Nervosa” (IPAN) is a
conference aimed at fostering multidisciplinary exchange about
research on AN and, more in general, on eating disorders. It invites
contributions from all fields related to the study of this subject,
including (but not limited to) linguistics, psychology, and
neuropsychiatry.

The conference is open for research on various aspect of eating
disorders. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:

- Linguistic profile of AN: morphosyntactic and lexical markers
- Conceptual representation of AN: Abstraction deficits and concretism
- Relationship between altered body image and disordered eating
- NLP detection of online pro-Ana and pro-Mia communities
- NLP and altered linguistic patterns in AN
- Representation of eating disorders in social media
- Analysis of voice disturbance in patients with eating disorders

This conference aims to provide an excellent opportunity to present
and discuss ongoing research on eating disorders, both from
theoretical and experimental viewpoints. Since our main aim is to
bring together experts on ED/AN from different backgrounds and provide
an environment for dialogue, we invite researchers from all related
fields to submit abstracts to the conference.
