Anthropological Excursion
Athens, Attica, Greece
Theme:
Bounded Languages... Unbounded
The politics of identity are central to language change. Here, linguistic
boundaries rise and fall, motivating the ephemeral characteristics of language
communities. The Mediterranean and European regions are replete with
histories, and with power struggles, that demarcate nation, ethnicity, and
community. For this, cultural and political identities, language ideologies,
as well as the languages themselves, have sought boundedness, the dynamics of
which have influenced change over eons, effected through demographic
movements, through geopolitics, and through technological innovation. In the
current era of technological advancement, transnational fluidity, intellectual
power, capitalism, and revised sexualities, then, we again question the
boundedness of language and identity, and ways in which to unbound these
languages and ideologies. We now need to increasingly unbind these languages,
and their ideologies, so 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 tensions
between demarcation and legitimization of languages, language ideologies, and
language identities, enter a new era, flexible citizenship now operates well
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 which addresses the shifting boundedness of
Language Communities of The Mediterranean and Europe. Papers and posters
should acknowledge and describe processes of language shape, change, and
ideology, pertinent to social, cultural, and political histories and futures,
of Mediterranean and European regions.
Presentation Lengths:
- Colloquia – 1.5 hours with 3-5 contributors (Parts A and B are possible,
thus 6-10 contributors)
- General paper sessions – Approx. 20-25 minutes each, including 5 mins for
questions/responses
- Posters – to be displayed at designated times throughout the COMELA 2020
Submission Guidelines (via online submission in the website, or by email (see
below))
General Session Papers:
- 18-word maximum presentation title
- 400-word maximum abstract, including references
Colloquia:
- Submission of only the main abstract for the colloquium is required
- The abstract must contain the colloquium main description/theme, and a
summary of each individual paper within the colloquium.
Evaluation of Proposals:
All abstracts for general sessions will be double blind reviewed.
Main parent abstracts for colloquia will be double blind reviewed. All
abstracts for individual presentations within each colloquia will not be peer
reviewed, but are expected to be at a standard commensurate to the colloquium
parent abstract.
