Anthropological Excursion
Attica, Greece

Theme:

Bounded Languages … Unbounded
Politics of identity ground language change. Here, linguistic boundaries rise
and fall, motivating ephemeral characters of language communities.
Mediterranean and European regions are replete with histories and power
struggles, uniquely demarcating nation, ethnicity, and community. For this,
cultural and political identities, language ideologies, and languages, have
sought boundedness, the dynamics of which have indeed sought change over eons,
through demographic movements, through geopolitics, through technological
innovation. In a current era of technological advancement, transnational
fluidity, intellectual power, capitalism, and new sexualities, then, we
question, once again, the boundedness of language and identity, and ways in
which to unbound languages and ideologies. More than before, we now
increasingly pursue anthropological toil, to innovate ways to locate these
ideologies and their fluid boundaries, actively. We now need to increasingly
unbind these languages, and their ideologies, to arrive at progressive
realizations, and to rectify, or at least see and move past, the segregations
of old.

The COMELA 2020 theme, “Bounded languages … Unbounded,” encapsulates the
ongoing struggle throughout Mediterranean and European regions. As the
continuous tension between demarcation and legitimization of languages,
language ideologies, and language identities, enters an era where new modes of
interactivity require language communities with roles super-ordinate to the
past, flexible citizenship now operates within, and not only across, language
communities, to unbind languages, and to create new boundaries, unlike those
ever seen throughout history.

The COMELA 2020 invites work on the shifting boundedness of Language
Communities of the Mediterranean and Europe. Submissions should acknowledge
and describe processes of language shape, change, and ideology, pertinent to
social, cultural, political histories, and futures, of Mediterranean and
European regions, or by those working in Mediterranean and European regions.
