Meeting Description:

Following the past II International Conference on Linguistic
Landscape: Reflections of the Past in the Present and the Future (II
CIPL, 3-5 June 2024), a new International Conference on Linguistic
Landscape ‘Tourism and Cultural Identity’ is promoted.
Landry & Bourhis (1997) have already pointed out the affective and
identity role that languages can play in the linguistic landscape of a
region (especially in bilingual countries, such as French in Brussels,
Belgium, or Quebec in Canada, in contrast to Flemish or English,
respectively).
At a time of broad social debate on the repercussions of mass tourism
on the living conditions of local populations, this conference seeks
to reflect on how this is reflected in the linguistic landscape and
how local identity is being reinforced or lost.
Is tourism reinforcing the cultural identity of a place in order to
offer it as a distinctive feature in comparison with those of other
nations ?  Is the historical or traditional cultural identity of a
place being distorted or simplified ? What role does language or
languages play in these models of mass tourism ?

The conference is conceived as an interdisciplinary meeting also open
to other non-linguistic aspects, such as artistic and architectural
perspectives. Some suggested thematic lines are:
 – Multilingualism vs. autochthonous languages.
 – Linguistic internationalisation vs. linguistic nationalism.
 – Monumentality, urban furniture design and language in the creation
or reinforcement of population identities.

Call for Papers:

Proposals should be 20-25 minutes long, followed by a further 5-10
minutes of discussion.

Virtual communications are welcome, but priority will be given to
face-to-face communications. The conference will preferably be a place
for a small number of physical meetings and debates. However,
simultaneous broadcasting of the sessions will be offered through
Google Meet.

Proposals should be submitted by downloading and completing the form
from the web and send it to luispablo at go.ugr.es.
Once the proposal has been received, a receipt will be sent; the
scientific committee will then evaluate it within seven days.
The languages of the conference will be Spanish and English.

The sessions will take place at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters,
University of Granada.
