The Graduate Student Organization of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese
at the University of Texas at Austin would like to announce the XXIV Biennial
Graduate Student Colloquium: Hegemonic Ideologies and Resistance in Iberian,
Latin American, and Latinx Languages, Literatures and Cultures. The event will
be held virtually from February 24-26, 2021. Please see the call for papers
(below) and reach out to spanportcolloquium at gmail.com for further questions.

Call for Papers: 

Language and culture are vehicles for the reproduction of and resistance to
hegemonic ideologies. Such ideologies form the foundations for oppressive
policies and institutions that marginalize and stereotype certain communities
throughout the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Nevertheless, linguistic and
cultural practices have the ability to resist and challenge dominant power
structures: for example, through the legitimization of  regional language
varieties and efforts to revitalize ritual and artistic traditions. While
resistance to domination is nothing new, contemporary forms of oppression
(re)generate forms of defiance across different levels of verbal, visual, and
aural production. This colloquium aims to explore literary, linguistic, and
cultural forms of resistance developed within Iberian, Latin American, and
Latinx communities. 

How do memory, identity, and institutional phantoms intersect and interact?
How do linguistic perceptions and practices of groups such as heritage
speakers and Indigenous communities maintain or disassemble hierarchies
established by institutions of all kinds? How do individuals and communities
resist domination, and by what mechanisms do they interrupt the propagation of
power structures?

We welcome presentations that engage with, but are not limited to, the
following:
 - Colonial institutions and phantoms
 - Politics and poetics of mourning
 - Politics of Otherness
 - Memory
 - Race
 - Gender
 - Identity
 - Interculturality 
 - Collective practices and innovation
 - Social power
 - Individual agency
 - Translanguaging
 - Sociolinguistics
 - Raciolinguistics
 - Heritage language and critical pedagogies
 - Critical Language Awareness
 - Language ideologies
 - Language and power

Presenters are invited to address the colloquium theme from different
perspectives related to Linguistics (Applied, Social, Anthropological,
Historical), Hispanic and Lusophone Literatures, Film Studies, Race Studies,
Gender and Queer Studies, Latinx/Chicanx Studies, and related disciplines.
Please submit your abstract of no more than 250 words in length to
spanportcolloquium at gmail.com by 30 November, 2020. Submissions are welcome for
presentations, posters, and panels.
