Meeting Description:

Ideologies regarding the social value of languages and discourses are
contested, especially in times of political polarisation. Whether it be
political rhetoric valorising certain languages over others in social media
messages of populist leaders, activism promoting the revitalisation of
minoritised languages or the hegemony of colonial languages in academic
publishing, we can observe how language ideologies are constructed, and how
they permeate every public domain. With this conference, we aim to explore the
intersections between language ideology and political discourse, understanding
both notions in their broadest terms, and to find tactical solutions to
prevent a language ideological meltdown of political discourse; i.e. a
politicisation of essential understandings of language as belonging to
specific people and not to others. The conference thus aims to open up a
critical space in which we can explore ideological discourses that make the
indexical links between language and politics meaningful, aiming, ultimately,
to reposition ourselves and our research within the very same political
discourse that we investigate.

Format:  
DN27 will be held as a virtual conference. However, we do not want to simply
emulate an offline conferencing experience, so we have decided to experiment
with alternative formats. We hope that our ideas will facilitate discussion
and interaction among you and help you engage with each other’s work in
mutually productive and non-hierarchical ways.
