Meeting Description:

VocUM is an international colloquium organized annually by students of
Université de Montréal from different fields of study relating to
language. It is the only multidisciplinary conference in Montreal
dedicated to language. Its mission is to provide a platform for young
researchers to display their findings and foster meaningful
discussions across diverse disciplines. By engaging in the annual
student conference, participants have the opportunity not only to
refine their oral communication skills but also to contribute to
scholarly discourse by publishing articles in the journal Scriptum.
Thus, language has been targeted as a focal point to facilitate
dialogue between otherwise isolated disciplines.

Call for Papers:

       The symposium, which was founded in 2014, is now marking its
10th edition. To celebrate this important milestone, the organizing
committee has decided to plan a three-day program. In addition to
presentations by young researchers and two plenary lectures, the
program will include training workshops and a poster session.
       Defined as “the ability to remember information, experiences,
and people ” (Cambridge Dictionary), memory is an object of study that
encompasses not only humanities and cognitive sciences but also
various other disciplines. For the upcoming edition, which will be
held under the theme “Language and Memory”, there will be discussions
of not only the mnemonic functions of the brain but also the
historical, political and cultural questions that are raised by our
connection to the past.
Language and Memory, involves both unearthing forgotten subjects and
illuminating current issues. It entails delving into the cognitive
functions that enable remembrance. It requires contemplating and
reevaluating the relations between collective and individual memory,
heritage and transformation, and the preservation of cultural
heritage. It prompts reflection on how the culture of immediacy
influences our relationship with language and memory. It entails
understanding the profound interplay between memory and forgetting. On
this matter, Paul Ricoeur addresses the duty of memory – a concept he
prefers to call the “work” of memory – in his book Memory, History,
Forgetting. In this writing, he emphasizes the significance of this
concept by stating:
“I continue to be troubled by the unsettling spectacle offered by an
excess of memory here, and an excess of forgetting elsewhere, to say
nothing of the influence of commemorations and abuses of memory—and of
forgetting. The idea of a policy of the just allotment of memory is in
this respect one of my avowed civic themes.”
       That is why, as part of the tenth edition of the conference,
the VocUM team has chosen the theme “Language and Memory.” It is an
important subject that allows for an exploration of timeless
questions.
       The research areas linking language and memory are varied and
can encompass a wide range of academic disciplines.
To accommodate a diverse range of participants, the VocUM 2023
conference will feature 15 to 20-minute paper presentations ollowed by
a question period, as well as a dedicated time slot for poster
presentations.. Students of all academic levels as well as young
researchers are invited to submit their projects, indicating whether
their submission should be considered for a paper presentation or a
poster (at the discretion of the evaluation committee), or a poster
presentation only.
       Please submit your proposals no later than August 4th, 2023 by
filling out this form. Proposals should not exceed 300 words and must
be submitted using the electronic form available on the VocUM website
(vocum.ca). The scientific committee accepts proposals in French,
English, Spanish or German. However, the dissemination of knowledge in
French is strongly encouraged.
