Meeting Description:

Onomastic studies have grown significantly over the last two decades
in Brazil (Amaral; Seide, 2022; Ananias; Tavares, 2022; Carvalhinhos,
2022; Seide; Saparas, 2023) and abroad (Li; Kit; Cheng, 2024). This
increase is due, among other factors, to the social impact caused by
various naming processes. This becomes more evident when considering
the different agents involved in naming processes, namely, the
individual or object bearing the name, the namer, as well as the
sociocultural context in which the naming occurs. The 1st Interonoma:
International Conference of Onomastics aims to create a space for
discussion on the social impact of naming processes. Within this
framework, research addressing issues relevant to contemporary society
stands out, such as: a) the attribution and change of people's names,
especially, but not exclusively, transgender people; b) the granting
of naming rights, where the conflict arises between public
administration's interests in revenue generation and the need to
preserve cultural values of public heritage, represented by the
toponym (Jayo; Tavares Lima, 2021; Moreira, 2023); c) recognizing
names not only as a guarantee of a personal right, but also as a
fundamental right, and, as more recent studies argue, as an integral
part of human rights (Varennes; Kuzborska, 2015); d) the use of names
as a means of resistance and identity affirmation by minority
linguistic groups, such as deaf people, indigenous peoples,
quilombolas, migrants, among others; e) the need to include the
aforementioned issues in the curricula of basic and higher education
schools, in order to train citizens who are critical of personal and
geographical naming processes in their surroundings and in the nation.
Although onomastic researchers have been meeting for some time in
specific sessions at other events (such as the World Symposium on
Portuguese Language Studies and the ANPOLL Meetings), there is still
no specific space in Brazil to bring together researchers and
professionals interested in issues related to proper names, as there
is in other countries (such as the Congresses of the International
Council of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) and the ICONN Congresses, for
example, held periodically in Europe). In this sense, the proposed
event aims to fill this gap and provide a space for disseminating
scientific production in the field of Onomastics, encouraging the
generation of knowledge and products, as well as the application of
results in sectors that can benefit the population. It also aims to
strengthen postgraduate-level production, providing opportunities for
national and international partnerships
