Time is among the most fundamental dimensions of human experience, yet
it is neither universal nor immutable. It is perceived,
conceptualized, narrated, negotiated, and contested through language,
culture, media, and technology. From linguistic expressions of
temporality and cultural narratives of memory and anticipation to the
algorithmic rhythms of digital platforms and AI-driven systems, our
understanding of time is increasingly shaped by the symbolic and
material environments in which we live.
The International Conference on Language, Culture, Media and Temporal
Meaning invites scholars from linguistics, media and communication
studies, cultural studies, literary studies, philosophy, digital
humanities, and related disciplines to explore the complex
relationships between language, culture, media, and temporal
experience.
The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on how
temporal meanings are created, represented, and transformed across
linguistic, cultural, and technological contexts. Particular attention
will be given to the ways contemporary digital infrastructures,
artificial intelligence, and mobile technologies reshape temporal
experience while intersecting with longstanding cultural practices,
narratives, and symbolic systems.
We welcome theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions
addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
 - Language and the conceptualization of time
 - Cognitive Linguistics and the study of time and temporal meanings
 - Corpus and computational approaches to the study of changes across
time (social, political) and temporal meanings (in language and
discourse)
 - How language shapes temporal cognition and how cultural mediations
influence our understanding of time
 - The evolving language of time in contemporary societies
 - Temporal metaphors, narratives, and discourse
 - Time as mediated through material, symbolic, and technological
tools
 - Digital temporalities and algorithmic time
 - AI, automation, and mobile technologies as producers of new
temporal regimes
 - The role of digital infrastructures in structuring, synchronizing,
and maintaining contemporary time
 - Mediascapes and their multiple temporalities
 - Platform cultures, social media, and the fragmentation,
acceleration, and asynchronicity of temporal experience
 - Cultural narratives of time, paradoxes of temporality, time koans,
and literary explorations of temporal experience
 - Rituals, calendars, commemorative practices, and social
performances as ways of structuring and making sense of time
 - Memory, anticipation, waiting, delay, and immediacy
 - Historical, intercultural, and comparative perspectives on
temporality
 - Temporal dimensions of communication, media, and cultural
production
The conference welcomes individual papers, thematic panels, and
interdisciplinary contributions that examine temporality from diverse
methodological and theoretical perspectives. We particularly encourage
submissions that bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries and engage
critically with the challenges posed by rapidly evolving media
ecologies and digital technologies.
By bringing together researchers working across languages, cultures,
media, and technologies, the conference seeks to deepen our
understanding of how temporal meanings are produced, negotiated, and
transformed in an increasingly interconnected and technologically
mediated world.
We invite scholars at all career stages to submit original research
and join us in exploring the many ways in which language, culture,
media, and technology shape our experience and understanding of time.
Submission details, important dates, conference venue, and
registration information will be announced separately.
