Meeting Description:

As we visualize the theme of SAMLA 96, Seen and Unseen, we are tasked
with discovering, uncovering, and recovering. What we see may only
tell part of the story, while what we do not see may represent
something more or something different. “Seen and Unseen” seeks to
question what surrounds us, whether in the concrete or in the
abstract. The exploration of concepts relating to visual culture,
material studies, gender studies, disability studies, liminality,
taboo, adaptations, censorship, scene/scenery or ‘behind the scenes’,
film studies, and archives will anchor critical inquiries. In terms of
professional development and pedagogy, the notions of visibility may
guide conversations on capstone projects, job materials, contingent
faculty, unseen labor, from (class) research to article publication,
and from crafting/drafting to publishing/disseminating. To what
degree, then, does the lens influence what and how we see?

Call for Papers:

 Research in linguistics seems to indicate that Anaxagoras was correct
when remarking over two-thousand years ago that "appearances are a
glimpse of the unseen." Indeed, linguistic landscapes provide insight
on the population and the functional load of corresponding languages;
research into un(der)documented languages sheds light on the degree of
universality among languages and the important relationship between
people and their environment; discourse analysis can uncover the ways
in which we conceptualize and understand others, ourselves, and our
world; and more theoretical research clarifies the relationship
between modular levels of 'language' (as phenomenon) and its
connection to human cognition. For this reason, analysis of the 'seen'
requires one to consider the underlying 'unseen.' As a result, this
special session welcomes submissions on any aspect of applied or
theoretical linguistics from non-literary perspectives. Nevertheless,
abstracts addressing the issue of the (un)seen, which is the theme for
this year's conference, are especially welcome, though submissions on
other topics within linguistics more broadly will also be considered.
By July 28, 2024, please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words,
a brief biographical blurb, and any A/V or scheduling requests to Troy
E. Spier, Florida A&M University, at troy.spier at famu.edu.
