Meeting Description:

Despite attempts to discourage sub-state nationalism and keep the
political map of the world in its present form, the struggle for
separate identities still remains a serious issue in modern-day
countries. Sub-state nationalism has led to violent conflicts in
postcolonial Africa, the former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union, and has
been one of the main causes of political upheaval in Belgium, Britain,
Spain, China, etc.

As Anderson (1983) indicates, nations are imagined communities whose
formation involves the spread of discourses aimed at establishing a
clear difference between in-groups and out-groups. While national
identity has attracted a fair amount of scholarly interest in the
field of political science, it is only in the early 90s that studies
emphasizing the discursive manifestations of nationalism started being
conducted (Wodak & Matouschek, 1993; Wodak & Reisigl, 1999; Wodak et
al. 1999).

These last two decades, the study of political discourse has been
consolidated by metaphor analysis (Musolff, 2006; 2016; Saric &
Stanojevic, 2019), and even though great strides have indeed been made
in political discourse analysis, research on sub-state nationalism
remains scant. It is thus in an attempt to fill this gap that we are
organizing this conference which will hopefully bring together
researchers from different fields (linguistics, sociology, political
science, cognitive science) interested in discourse, metaphor and
nationalist ideologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
- The discursive construction of (sub-state) national identity
- Characteristics of separatist discourse
- Conceptualisations of the body politic
- Metaphor scenarios in national identity discourse
- Visual metaphor in (sub-state) nationalist discourse
- Gender and metaphor in (sub-state) nationalist discourse
