Meeting Description:

The Doctorate in Linguistic, Literary and Intercultural Studies in European
and extra-European Perspectives of the University of Milan is pleased to
announce the organization of the Sc[Arti] conference to be held at the
University of Milan on 7, 8 and 9 November 2018. 

Flotsam does not exist in itself: there are no concepts nor entities that
intrinsically possess this connotation. Rather, ''flotsam'' is the residue of
a selection process based on shared convictions and conventions, which takes
place in time and space according to individual and community dynamics.
''Flotsam'' is all that exceeds or deviates from what is considered the norm,
canon, tradition; the attribution of a negative symbolic value generally
follows.  

How does this process occur?  What causes and justifies a shift from the norm?
How then is  , this remnant represented?

With these perspectives Sc[Arti] intends to investigate to explore the various
meanings – not exclusively unfavorable – that flotsam underlies. In a wide
range of meanings in continuum between presumed positive and negative poles,
unexpected developments are revealed. Thus flotsam can become a resource, a
starting point towards new possibilities of observation and decoding of
reality.

To explore the potential of the theme, Sc[Arti] develops transversely,
according to a multidisciplinary approach, which involves a variety of
research areas.


Call for Papers:

The research areas of the conference are:

Literary: The literary theme of Sc[Arti] considers flotsam as a physical or
cultural residue and is interested in its literary representation and its
fruitfulness for critical interpretation. 

Cultural: the cultural theme of the conference proposes the consideration of
flotsam in relation to categories of people, held to be different from the
norm, and as the outcome of practices of occlusion or censorship.

Linguistic: Linguistic flotsam is the result of a process of selection and
exclusion with implications for uses and linguistic practices at the social
level. 

Didactics: Sc[Arti] proposes to explore didactic action, invisible yet
constant, which takes place in learning contexts that can be considered as
''alternative'', not identifiable with scholastic or academic learning in the
traditional sense. 

Participation is open to all PhD students in the humanities, and to those who
completed their PhD within the last three years. Those wishing to make a
submission are kindly requested to send us an abstract of 300 words, with max.
6 references, to scarti2018 at unimi.it by June 15, 2018.
In the document, necessarily in pdf format, the following should be included:
the title of your paper, reference theme, keywords, name, surname, and email
address of the author (or authors); short biographical note indicating
University affiliation and research areas (100 words).
Proposals in different languages will be accepted, as long as they have
integrative support in either Italian and/or English.
