Meeting Description:

8th International Conference on Language, Literature & Culture 
''Struggle for Recognition: identity-formation and subjectivation'' 
Brest/France, 6-7 June 2019

The theme of the conference is “Struggle for recognition: identity-formation
and subjectivation”. We aim to bring together scholars and graduates
researching the intersections of linguistics, cultural and literary studies
with a particular focus on identity discourses, gender and sexuality, race and
ethnicity, diaspora and diasporic discourses, cultural images and imagology,
and various ways of struggling for recognition and subjectivation.

Call for Papers:

The struggle of recognition has emerged, in the recent years, as a powerful
paradigm.  The theme of struggle for recognition is at the intersection of
different areas of the human sciences: philosophy, gender studies, critical
theory, discourse analysis, literature, etc. It is widely associated with the
works of Axel Honneth, Nancy Fraser, Charles Taylor, Paul Ricoeur, to name
just a few prominent figureheads. 

At the heart of the struggle for recognition paradigm, we find the question of
identity formation, self-realization and subjectivation. Those engaged in a
struggle for recognition are always of course struggling against
institutionalized patterns of value that sustain and reinforce various
mechanisms of exclusion. They are also struggling against those
institutionalized patterns of value because they strip them of their dignity
and subordinate them out of existence. 

Focusing on the aspects of language, literature and culture in any or all
possible contexts, and employing interdisciplinary approach to address the
research problems with methods of and insights borrowed from multiple
disciplines, “International Conference on Language, Literature & Culture”
welcomes papers that deal with the question of identity-construction and
subjectivation through the prism of the struggle for recognition paradigm and
intends to blur the limits of conventional discourses and approaches. You may
participate as panel organizer, presenter of one paper, or observer.
Submissions are open for 30-minute slots (20-minute talks + 10 minutes for
discussion). All submissions to the conference will be reviewed by at least
two independent peers for technical merit and content. The papers presented at
the conference will be published in a volume.

A 300-word abstract and 5 keywords should be submitted as an email attachment
to LLC2019conference at gmail.com by March 25, 2019. In your email, please
include your name, affiliation, email address, phone number, title of the
paper, abstract, 5 keywords and a brief bio data. 

Papers may answer one or more of the following questions or address the
following topics of interest for submission:

- What identity is the object of the struggle for recognition?
- Who leads this struggle and in the name of who?
- On what moral, ethical, political foundations is the struggle for
