[I-LanD Research Centre] Conference Announcement & CfP - International Conference "Performing Identity: Semiotic Representation(s) and the Making of Meaning" (December 3-4, 2026 - University of Naples Federico II, Italy)

[I-LanD Interuniversity Research Centre]

Dear all,

We are pleased to share the Call for Papers for the international conference "Performing Identity: Semiotic Representation(s) and the Making of Meaning", which will take place at the University of Naples Federico II, 3-4 December 2026.

The conference invites contributions that explore how identities are constructed, performed, negotiated and reimagined in and through English across a wide range of contexts and modalities. Moving from the idea that identity is not something we simply have, but something we do, the conference foregrounds the performative, processual and semiotic nature of identity, with particular attention to discourse, interaction, multimodality, digital mediation, embodiment, power relations and ecological concerns.

Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and should include a maximum of 5 references in APA style.

Submission deadline: 15 July 2026
Conference dates: 3-4 December 2026
Venue: University of Naples Federico II, Italy
