Meeting Description: 

The panel is organized at the IUAES Inter Congress ''World anthropologies and
privatization of knowledge: engaging anthropology in public''. 

While globalization and Europeanization processes have renewed scholarly
interest in multilingualism, the increasing recognition that its current
practices are not unprecedented, calls for a more empirically grounded
research into multilingualism and intercultural dialogue as
historically‐rooted phenomena. A long view of history suggests that people and
languages have always been on the move with consequent intermingling of
different societies, cultures and languages. Since antiquity to modern times,
there were contact zones of migrants and travellers, particularly in the
cities, where this mixture of people had to work out how to organize their
social relations and where contests, but also dialogue, took place over their
multiple languages.These various consequences of mobility have been shaped and
patterned differently by particular social, political and economic contexts.
The understanding of these contexts might provide a new way of learning from
the past about strategies used to overcome social tensions between the ‘self’
and the ‘other’ as potential legacies of intercultural dialogue that can
inform current processes of communication and mobility.
