Meeting Description:

(Session of 51st Convention, NeMLA, Boston March 5-8 2020)

“The Old and the New: Communities of Practice and Shifting Borders in US
Spanish”

The session seeks papers that examine Spanish in the United States (Mexican,
Caribbean, Latin American) as it relates to old and new Hispanic community
practices and border crossing (geographical, political, ethnic, social,
perceptual, historical, religious, etc.). It intends to bring together
interdisciplinary research from various theoretical and methodological
perspectives in the humanities and social sciences on Latino/Hispanic
communities in the United States.  By doing so, it hopes to broaden the
discussion on the use of Spanish in different contexts from more than one
perspective such as sociolinguistics, literary theory, discourse analysis,
cultural studies and other related disciplines.


Call for Papers:

Papers that address the theoretical and empirical relevance of the concept of
community of practice and border to research in language variation and change
from interdisciplinary perspectives are especially welcome.

Please send 300-word abstracts by September 30 to Gerardo Augusto Lorenzino,
galorenz at temple.edu
