Interests in interdisciplinary approaches of inclusion.
Focus:
Focusing on discourses and identity in an international and
interdisciplinary context, the Summer School 2025 (10-11th June) of
the LiRiC Interdisciplinary Thematic Institute (Language, Inclusion,
Remediation, Interculturality, Communication) aims to provide a forum
for discussion and reflection open to all.
LiRiC addresses the issue of inclusion through language and
communication of vulnerable individuals and communities (e.g.
LGBTQIA+, the elderly or people with language disorders, migrants,
speakers of poorly endowed languages, bilingual or plurilingual
pupils) in a variety of situations (school, interactions, social
networks, in the medical field, etc.). The 2025 summer school will
provide an opportunity to study interdisciplinary and conceptual
constructions of identity in relation to the three research areas of
the LiRiC ITI: inclusion and health, inclusion and education,
inclusion and society.
Description:
Communication plays an essential role in the construction and
assertion of identities, whether individual or collective. It is a
fundamental tool for establishing connections between individuals,
transcending cultural and social differences or, on the contrary,
underlining them, and reinforcing the feeling of belonging to a group.
Language is a central element in these dynamics of communication
around identities, and can help to erase the boundaries between groups
and individuals, between different communities, or, on the contrary,
become a factor of exclusion in certain situations (i.a. language
disorders, inappropriate communication, identity claims,
discrimination).
Finally, discourse is the space in which identities are
constructed/performed/embodied by individuals, in interaction with
others and in response to both local and more global contexts. Thus,
language is not simply a tool of expression: it becomes a vehicle for
cohesion or division, depending on the context and the way in which it
is used. At the same time, discourse is the site where identities and
the power relations that constitute them are shaped, reproduced and
negotiated.
The summer school will be organized as follows:
a) sessions for theoretical lectures by internationally renowned
researchers in the fields covered by LiRiC;
b) workshops focusing on methodology and research practice for
training purposes;
c) poster sessions on theoretical, methodological or empirical data;
d) A round table on ‘Building interdisciplinarity’.
Theoretical lectures will shed light on the question of identity and
gender, the opposition between social and national identities,
inter-group relations and the impact of social cognition. These
lectures will alternate with workshops designed to discuss the
methodological aspects of data exploitation and analysis. The
workshops will provide master’s and doctoral students, as well as more
advanced researchers, with training in the collection and analysis of
data from a variety of fields. Poster sessions preceded by a
one-minute presentation in plenary session will also be part of the
program. A round table on the construction of interdisciplinarity will
enhance the discussions.
The LiRiC summer school will encourage dialogue between young
researchers (master’s/doctorate) and advanced researchers in a
supportive atmosphere around theoretical and methodological questions
on the study of the links between language and identity.
