SUMMARY:Proletkult and the Languages of Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Proletkult refers to the Proletarian Cultural-Enlightenment Organization (Proletarskie kul’turno-prosvetitel’nye organizatsii). The institution was autonomous from the Bolshevik party\, but is regarded by many as the cultural arm of the revolution. Founded in 1917\, it was tasked with developing radical avant-garde aesthetics tailored to the working classes and their emergent role in modern industrial culture. \nProletkult peaked in 1920\, when it spread like wildfire before its imminent demise. Despite its short lifespan\, it was widely influential. This workshop aims to explore Proletkult from the original angle of language\, translation and collective identity\, in both Marxist and non-Marxist keys. Topics covered include: the polemics between Lenin and Proletkult in the shadow of the literacy campaign in the USSR\, the British reception of Proletkult\, Chinese modernity in translation\, Soviet sociolinguistics and Gramsci’s linguistic modernity\, transnational ethnopolitics along the EU-Russian border and Ljudski Oder between Slovenia\, Italy and the international Proletkult. \nSpeaker bios and abstracts \nBOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY \nImage: poster by Vladimir Mayakovsky. \nThis event is organised by the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Translating Women: Breaking Borders and Building Bridges in the English-language Book Industry
DESCRIPTION:Deadline: 17 May 2019\nConference dates: 31 October – 1 November 2019\, Senate House\, University of London \nOrganisers: Dr Olga Castro (Aston University)\, co-editor of Feminist Translation Studies (Routledge\, 2017).\nDr Helen Vassallo (University of Exeter)\, principal investigator of the Translating Women project.\nDr Godela Weiss-Sussex (IMLR/OWRI\, co-director Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing). \nTranslated literature notoriously accounts for only 3.5% of published literature in the English-language book market\, and less than one-third of this is women-authored. Women writers in translation occupy a difficult border space in literature\, variously affected by lack of recognition in their home country\, fewer women being entered for literary prizes\, and less criticism and column space dedicated to women writers. Yet\, recent phenomena such as Kamila Shamsie’s call for a ‘Year of Publishing Women’\, Meytal Radzinski’s advocacy of ‘Women in Translation month’ each August\, and the creation of the Women in Translation Tumblr and the ‘Warwick Prize for Women in Translation’ indicate the urgency of confronting the lack of gender equality in the English-language publishing industry with regard to translated literature. \nThis conference will explore the circuits of translation of women-authored literature into English\, with the aim of promoting synergies between academic and publishing contexts. By questioning the power dynamics of the English-language book industry\, it seeks to offer fresh insights into the cultural\, social\, economic and political implications of making foreign women writers available to English-speaking readers\, considering where ‘borders’ lie in translated literature\, and how and why women might destabilise them. Our feminist perspective challenges the lack of recognition and influence of women writers\, and our transnational and geopolitical focus encourages a cross-cultural understanding already fostered by translation and by the pioneering work of organisations such as English PEN and Literature Across Frontiers. We aim to break through ‘borders’ – both real and figurative – and build ‘bridges’ between research areas and industry initiatives\, bringing together representatives from all key groups of stakeholders to discuss and redress the imbalance affecting women writers in translation. \nCLICK HERE FOR FULL CFP DETAILS \nWe are delighted to include as part of the programme two events with acclaimed women writers and their translators. These public sessions are free and open to all: Author Négar Djavadi (Disoriental\, 2018) and translator Tina Kover. Author Ariana Harwicz (Die\, My Love\, 2017; Feebleminded\, 2019)\, and translators Carolina Orloff and Annie McDermott. \nHosted by the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, and supported by OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand\, with the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing\, the Cassal Trust\, Aston University and CLaRA (Centre for Language Research at Aston)\, and the University of Exeter.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration\, Community\, and Co-Habitation
DESCRIPTION:A conference of the UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London\, and supported by OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand. \nClick here for more details and to view the programme \nGlobal mass migration on an unprecedented scale; dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean by refugees fleeing persecution and warfare; the loss of family and friends; the loss of home; the challenge of integrating the arrivants / arrivantes; and conflicting notions of identity and belonging – these are some of the transcultural predicaments of the globalisation processes of the 21st century coming to a head in the local encounters of urban (and rural) neighbourhoods. Whereas Singapore’s Holland Village\, London’s Brixton and Berlin’s Kreuzberg have grown into trendy multi- and transcultural neighbourhoods coined by creativity and a newly affluent cosmopolitan class\, others seem troubled by disenfranchisement\, discord\, and/or feelings of social dislocation\, with Molenbeek in Brussels and the Clichy-sous-Bois banlieue in Paris being perhaps the most notorious examples. While Clichy-sous-Bois gained notoriety during the highly mediatised 2005 street riots\, Molenbeek was labelled a breeding ground for Islamist terrorism after the bombings in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. \nTransnational neighbourhoods are frequently depicted as the ‘other’ and – as Gillian Jein notes – a ‘deviant terrain’. However\, voices from within often emphasise different perceptions and have the potential to challenge and counter discourses emerging in the context of the rapid rise of populist right-wing parties across Europe that aim to reinstate or “protect” ethnic nationalism\, Christianity as the dominant religion\, a national language and organic culture\, ancestry and lineage\, and membership of a dominant ethnic or racial group as the bases for national membership.The current political debate is highly polarised\, binary and often dominated by quantitative arguments concerning the number of refugees\, and the social\, economic and political impact of their integration. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our conference seeks to shift focus by exploring transcultural encounters in the urban neighbourhood. We posit that the urban neighbourhood is a social microcosm that allows for a more nuanced discussion of transculturality as lived practice. The urban neighbourhood is local but not provincial; it is a fluid space in which various temporal and spatial axes intersect; it is the locus where diverse trans/cultural practices can engender togetherness as well as differences and conflict. It is the contact zone where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations\, fostering processes of hybridisation\, creolisation and neoculturation. The neighbourhood is open to the type of multi-scalar perspective that\, according to Ann Rigney\, avoids entrapment in a binary discourse. \nThe French street- and community artist JR’s work provides an example of how artistic reflections can highlight these positive dynamics\, intervene in political discourse and help shape perceptions of transnational neighbourhoods. His 150m2 fresco Chroniques de Clichy-Montfermeil (2017)\, for instance\, not only charts the 2005 riots and encompasses 750 portraits of the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population\, but also interweaves it with France’s revolutionary past by quoting Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1786) and Tennis Court Oath (1794) as well as Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830)\, thereby transgressing conventional concepts of identity and belonging. \nThe urban neighbourhood lends itself to a broad multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary exploration of transcultural practices. We invite papers from a broad range of disciplines and fields\, including urban geography\, urban planning\, architecture\, memory studies\, film studies\, visual and performance arts\, contemporary literary studies\, cultural studies\, sociology\, practice-based research and linguistics. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

SUMMARY:Transnational Perspectives on the Study of Spanish in Society
DESCRIPTION:Languages travel and adapt to the new circumstances faced by their speakers. The growth of the Spanish language has always been transnational in nature\, insofar as any expansion has been grounded in cultural and economic exchange. Therefore\, at this conference\, we wish to bring together those with scholarly interests in the situation of the Spanish language in the contemporary world. Almost twenty years into the new millennium\, we want to reflect on how Spanish speakers\, be they in their countries of origin or in the diaspora\, construct and negotiate concepts of community. How is this achieved by recourse to ideas of borders\, migration and contact? How do speakers move beyond notions of physical space\, and push social\, political\, cultural and commercial boundaries\, in order to break through the limits imposed on them by nations and continents? (Mar-Molinero and Stewart 2006; Foner 2005; Jackson et al. 2004). \nWe wish to explore the following questions: Are we at present witnessing processes of homogenisation and standardisation of norms and uses\, thanks to the global space in which Spanish speakers move and communicate\, all made possible by technological advances\, and policies of a Pan-Hispanic nature? Or\, in fact\, do we find ourselves in an unprecedented social situation which allows language to be more pluricentric\, local\, innovative and ‘superdiverse’ than ever before? (Lebsanft\, Mihatsch and Polzin-Haumann 2012; Zimmermann 2014; Blommaert 2015; Arnaut 2016) Now is the time to debate what methods and research protocols are the most effective at capturing the complexity that arises from such situations. What does it mean to view things transnationally? How can such a perspective benefit the study of the relationships between Spanish speakers in a global world? \nThese will be the triggers for discussion at our conference which\, three years on\, will bring everyone together in Edinburgh\, in order to celebrate a hundred years of Hispanic Studies at The University of Edinburgh. \nBook via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/transnational-perspectives-on-the-study-of-spanish-in-society-tickets-60746784267 \n\nThis event is organised by University of Edinburgh with support from the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Configuring ‘World Theatre’
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: Professor Osita Okagbue (Professor of Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths University of London). Conference organisers: Julia Prest and Michael Wood (University of Edinburgh) \nThe purpose of the conference is to unite scholars from Modern Languages departments and related disciplines within the Arts and Humanities for two days of discussion on the topic of World Theatre. Within the Anglophone and European contexts\, ‘World Theatre’ still tends to be understood as referring to the research of separate national theatrical traditions and practices from across the globe or giving overviews of individual theorists and practitioners from outside of the European and American world. Yet there is much that theatre research can gain from the methodologies and insights of World Literature research and Transnational Studies. \nWhile World Literature has become a well-established paradigm for Modern Languages research in recent decades\, this conference seeks to promote the field of World Theatre in Scotland and beyond. Bringing researchers who specialise on theatre within different language areas and scholars from related disciplines into conversation with each other and with existing theories of World Literature and Transnationality\, we hope to find exciting new avenues for on-going and future scholarship\, including collaborative research. \nThe conference will feature a combination of research papers and discussions on a wide and varied range of topics led by scholars from institutions across the world. Participants will be invited to attend a theatre performance in Edinburgh on 20th June that will form the basis for discussion and debate the following day. \nImage: Native American tribal Ceremonies in Philadelphia\, by John Lewis Krimmel and Pavel Svinyin (1811-1813). \nBOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY \nSupported by the Institute of Modern Languages Research Regional Conference Scheme\, OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand\, with additional support from the School of Modern Languages at the University of St Andrews and the British Academy.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Venue: University of Westminster\, 309 Regent Street\, London W1B 2HW \nCONFERENCE HOME PAGE\n\nSince Appadurai wrote on the intertwined phenomena of electronic media and migration as disruptive and defining features of modern subjectivity (1996)\, the relationship between digital technologies and diasporic communities has emerged as a critical area of study across a number of disciplines. However\, such research risks remaining isolated within disciplinary silos\, often despite the similar processes\, practices and materials studied. This conference aims to inspire greater dialogue across disciplinary boundaries in order to develop a richer understanding of the role of the digital in creating and sustaining diasporic connections and communities\, and of how diasporic groups and individuals transform and shape digital tools and technologies for their own creative and strategic purposes.Through this dialogue it is hoped that new transdisciplinary ways of working may develop which challenge knowledge fragmentation in order to confront the complexity of the contemporary context of intensified cultural and linguistic flows and new patterns of human mobility. At the same time\, drawing attention to diasporic narratives and approaches to digital culture and technologies can function as both critique and challenge to centralised narratives of digital progress and development often restricted to predominantly Anglophone contexts. \nWe especially welcome research which pays attention to the linguistic and cultural dimensions of digital technologies and media. This is\, however\, not restricted to any specific geographical area\, language or type of community. Equally\, the digital is intended to encompass the fullest range of digital practices\, materials and technologies\, while the conference aims to include methodological and analytical approaches ranging across\, for example\, ethnographic\, cultural studies and computational approaches. \nEarly-bird registration (available until 30 April 2019):\nStandard rate: £80\nConcession rate (students/unwaged): £50 \nLate registration (from 1 May 2019 and depending on availability):\nStandard rate: £90\nConcession rate (students/unwaged): £60 \nBOOK HERE

SUMMARY:Across Languages: Translingualism in Contemporary Women’s Writing
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speakers: Anna-Louise Milne (University of London Institute in Paris)\, Rebecca L. Walkowitz (Rutgers University) \nA Reading and Discussion with Katja Petrowskaja (Vielleicht Esther) and translator Shelley Frisch of the English translation\, Maybe Esther\, is scheduled as part of the conference on 30 May under the series Encounters: Writers and Translators in Conversation. \nThis conference is organised by the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing (CCWW) in collaboration with the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project ‘Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community’. It follows on from an exploratory workshop that was held at the IMLR in March 2018\, ‘A New Language – a New Life? Translingual literature by contemporary women writers’. It brings together scholars working on translingual women’s writing in a range of language fields in order to explore the particular richness of texts produced by writers in languages that are not their mother tongues. \nIn the current era of mass migration and transnational movement\, analysis of translingualism as the mode of expression of this movement is an important area of inquiry. Where static concepts of belonging are questioned and increasingly replaced by hybrid identities and affiliations\, and by fluid attachments\, changing with time\, the power of translingual language use and its analysis can become a means to re-imagine the identitarian force of language. Translingualism can bring to the fore new subjectivities and new forms of community (Kellman\, 2000; Yildiz\, 2012). Considered in conjunction with questions of gender and power\, translingual writing can also reveal powerful ways of conceptualizing emancipatory feminine writing. Beyond concerns of identity formation\, translingual language use opens up new ways of thinking\, deconstructing established modes of expression through associative cross-language connections. In so transcending the binaries of language use it is apt to reveal new forms of literary writing. \nDr Anna-Louise Milne is an author\, an academic\, and founder of The Paris Centre for Migrant Writing and Expression (ULIP). Professor Rebecca L. Walkowitz teaches English and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University\, New Jersey. Her recent monograph\, Born Translated: The Contemporary Novel in an Age of World Literature (2015)\, has been highly influential in re-thinking literary history as a series of transnational and translingual convergences and divergences. \nRegistration includes attendance at the Encounters reading/discussion with Katja Petrowskaja and Shelley Frisch\, lunch and a drinks reception on the first day\, and refreshments throughout. \nBOOKING NOW OPEN \nStandard rate: £30\nConcession rate (conference speakers/students/unwaged): £15  \nThis event is organised Centre for Contemporary Women’s Writing\, the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Call For Papers: Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration\, Community and Co-Habitation
DESCRIPTION:A conference of the UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London. \nCall for papers deadline: 10 January 2019\nConference dates: 25-27 September 2019\, Dublin \nGlobal mass migration on an unprecedented scale; dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean by refugees who are fleeing persecution and warfare; the loss of family and friends; the loss of home; the challenge of integrating the arrivants / arrivantes; and conflicting notions of identity and belonging: these are some of the transcultural predicaments of the globalisation processes of the 21st century coming to a head in the local encounters of urban (and rural) neighbourhoods. Whereas Singapore’s Holland Village\, London’s Brixton and Berlin’s Kreuzberg have grown into trendy multi- and transcultural neighbourhoods coined by creativity and a newly affluent cosmopolitan class\, others seem troubled by disenfranchisement\, discord\, and/or feelings of social dislocation\, with Molenbeek in Brussels and the Clichy-sous-Bois banlieue in Paris being perhaps the most notorious examples. While Clichy-sous-Bois gained notoriety during the highly mediatised 2005 street riots\, Molenbeek was labelled a breeding ground for Islamist terrorism after the bombings in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. \nTransnational neighbourhoods are frequently depicted as the ‘other’ and – as Gillian Jein notes – a ‘deviant terrain’. However\, voices from within often emphasise different perceptions and have the potential to challenge and counter discourses emerging in the context of the rapid rise of populist right-wing parties across Europe that aim to reinstate or “protect” ethnic nationalism\, Christianity as the dominant religion\, a national language and organic culture\, ancestry and lineage\, and membership in a dominant ethnic or racial group as the bases for national membership. The current political debate is highly polarised\, binary and often dominated by quantitative arguments concerning the number of refugees\, and the social\, economic and political impact of their integration. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our conference seeks to shift focus by exploring transcultural encounters in the urban neighbourhood. We posit that the urban neighbourhood is a social microcosm that allows for a more nuanced discussion of transculturality as lived practice. The urban neighbourhood is local but not provincial; it is a fluid space in which various temporal and spatial axes intersect;  it is the locus where diverse trans/cultural practices can engender togetherness as well as differences and conflict. It is the contact zone where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations\, fostering processes of hybridisation\, creolisation and neoculturation. The neighbourhood is open to the type of multi-scalar perspective that\, according to Ann Rigney\, avoids entrapment in a binary discourse. \nThe French street- and community artist JR’s work provides an example of how artistic reflections can highlight these positive dynamics\, intervene in political discourse and help shape perceptions of transnational neighbourhoods. His 150m2 fresco Chroniques de Clichy-Montfermeil (2017)\, for instance\, not only charts the 2005 riots and encompasses 750 portraits of the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population\, but also interweaves it with France’s revolutionary past by quoting Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1786) and Tennis Court Oath (1794) as well as Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830)\, thereby transgressing conventional concepts of identity and belonging. \nThe urban neighbourhood lends itself to a broad multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary exploration of transcultural practices. We invite papers from a broad range of disciplines and fields\, including urban geography\, urban planning\, architecture\, memory studies\, film studies\, visual and performance arts\, contemporary literary studies\, cultural studies\, sociology\, practice-based research and linguistics. \nPossible lines of investigation include: \nTheorising the Transnational/Transcultural Neighbourhood\n \n\nThe role of space/time\nNotions of belonging/attachment\nThe dynamic of inclusion/exclusion\nTransculturation/Hybridisation/Creolisation\nPorosity/Enclosure\nProximity/Distance\nIntimacy/Enmity\nVernacular styles\n\nMulti-Scalar Perspectives on Integration and Conflict \n\nCase Studies of social inclusion through education\, training and youth work; preventing and combating discrimination\, gender-based violence\, racism and xenophobia\nCase studies of conflict\, social exclusion\, discrimination\, racism and xenophobia\, and violence\nThe role of civic organisations and local government in promoting/hindering integration\nThe role of social clubs/sports clubs\n\n\nBuilt Environment\, Social and Art Practice \n\nTranscultural community formation and the built environment\nThe role of “small scale” local areas and buildings such as bus stops\, playgrounds\, corner shops\, cafés\, local libraries\nThe role of “large scale” areas and buildings such as parks\, squares\, schools\, shopping malls\, civic buildings\, monuments\nPractices of co-inhabitance/contact and segregation in the neighbourhood\nPerformance of age\, class\, gender\, race and sexuality in the neighbourhood\nCase studies and examples of transcultural art and performance practices in neighbourhoods\n\n\nLiterary and Filmic Representations of Transcultural Neighbourhoods \n\nClose readings of individual texts\, films\, works of photography that feature the transnational neighbourhood\nRepresentations of religion\, gender\, class and race\nAnalysis of a transnational “poetics” of place\n“Transcultural” literary and cinematographic techniques\nThe comparative analysis of literary texts that feature transnational neighbourhoods\nMulti-lingualism in literature and films\nTransgressive performances in literature and films\nRepresentation of the backlash against the transnational neighbourhood in films and literary texts.\n\n  \nPlease send an abstract of approx. 250 words and a short biographical note of about 50 words to: m.rocalizarazu@bham.ac.uk\, britta.jung@ucd.ie\, and stephan.ehrig@ucd.ie \nConference Organisers:\nProf. Anne Fuchs\, UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin (anne.fuchs@ucd.ie)\nDr. Godela Weiss-Sussex\, IMLR\, University of London/King’s College Cambridge (godela.weiss-sussex@sas.ac.uk)\nDr. Britta C.

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Multimodal Encounters in Translation
DESCRIPTION:Research into the theory and practice of translation has traditionally focused on the conversion of source texts into target texts. However\, during the past decade the rise and sprawl of digital media has ensured that interconnections between different visual\, aural\, and oral modalities have acquired much greater cultural prominence – a development that has destabilised certain time-honoured translation-theoretic paradigms. This shift has directed critical attention towards acts of translation involving more than one modality. Moving beyond text-to-text translation\, pioneering work by a number of scholars has begun to explore different kinds of text-to-music\, text-to-dance\, text-to-image\, dance-to-image\, music-to-dance\, dance-to-text\, and image-to-music transfers. While some of these approaches draw upon well-established traditions of ekphrasis and iconology that can be traced back through the centuries\, they also probe in new and provocative ways the limits of these activities. Indeed\, for some scholars the very term ‘translation’ has become an inadequate one for describing the full range of interactions involving the transfer of meaning from one modality to another. Therefore\, terms such as ‘transduction’\, ‘transaptation’\, ‘transformation’\, and ‘transcription’\, have sometimes been usefully repurposed. But how do these practices differ from each other\, and what are their distinctive respective characteristics? While this is still an inchoate field of enquiry\, it has already inspired ground-breaking analytical approaches that deserve careful scrutiny. A core purpose of this event is to bring together both those who produce multimodal ‘translations’ as well as those who theorise about them. By encouraging truly inter and trans-disciplinary dialogue\, this conference aspires to impact on research directions in the area of translation and multimodality. \nThe conference will take the form of a two-day event. Each of the eight main speakers will prepare a paper in advance\, and these will be distributed to all the registered delegates two weeks before the start of the event. Each speaker will have a 20-minute slot during the conference in which to give a short verbal summary of their paper\, followed by a further 25 minutes of questions from the attendees. In addition\, there will be two workshops that will showcase practical multimedia examples of multimodal translation in action. At the end of each day there will be a ‘Round Table’ discussion session\, chaired by one of the convenors\, that will provide an opportunity to explore in greater detail specific points of connection and disconnection between the presentations and workshops. \nPlease register in advance | Standard: £40 | Student/Unwaged: £20 \nClick here for programme information and booking.\nThe conference is part of the activities of the research group Cambridge Conversations in Translation\, based at the Centre for Research in the Arts\, Social Sciences\, and Humanities (CRASSH). The event is supported by CRASSH\, the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR)\, and the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community (CLDRC) OWRI project (Translingual Strand).

SUMMARY:Iberian Sound Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen a growing interest in ‘sound studies’\, a field of study that addresses the role of the auditory in culture and society. This one-day symposium seeks to establish a dialogue between sound studies and Iberian cultural studies. It intends to examine the place of sound both across a range of Iberian contexts (architecture\, geography\, acoustic environments) and media (sound technologies and sound art\, music and film\, for instance). \nUsing the auditory as a critical starting point\, the workshop seeks to address the following questions: How does sound inform our understanding of Spanish and Portuguese history — and in particular\, their long and fraught road towards modernization? How might the categories of noise and silence\, for instance\, enable us to illuminate more fully historical junctures of crisis and contradiction within the Iberian peninsula? How might attendant changes in technology and culture be understood\, or indeed rethought\, through sound? \nThis symposium invites scholars working across a diverse range of disciplines and media to rethink the place of sound in Iberian cultures. \nConfirmed speakers: Keynote: Kathleen M Vernon\, (Stony Brook University)\nIan Biddle (Newcastle)\, Richard Elliott (Newcastle)\, Sally Faulkner (Exeter)\, Samuel Llano (Manchester)\, Eva Moreda (Glasgow)\, Sarah Wright (RHUL)\, João Silva (Universidade Nova de Lisboa)\, Tom Whittaker (Warwick) \nEvent organisers: Tom Whittaker (Warwick) and Samuel Llano (Manchester) \nFree event: all welcome. Please register in advance HERE.

To express interest\, please email: info@slori.org\nAbout the event\nThe Friuli Venezia Giulia (Friulian: Friûl–Vignesie Julie\, Slovene: Furlanija – Julijska krajina\, German: Friaul–Julisch Venetien) is one of five autonomous regions of Italy with special statute because of its multiethnic sociocultural context. \nDespite of the multicultural history and the current cultural landscape of the region\, Italian is the only official language; the regional and national minority languages (such as Friulian\, Slovenian and German) are widespread in certain areas\, but they enjoy different rights and have at least partly different statuses in terms of official recognition\, services\, and perceptions. In addition\, a multitude of other languages have been introduced by different communities that have moved here over the centuries (Croatians\, Serbs\, Greeks\, Jews\, and many others). The proximity and the coexistence of different languages from at least three different groups (Italic\, Germanic\, and Slavic) have generated various communication habits and practices among speakers and a wide range of language phenomena. This picture is replicated beyond regional and national borders: on the Slovenian coast\, a large Italian community is settled and the region is officially recognised as bilingual. \nThe aim of this conference is to show some language contact phenomena among minorities and/or border communities in the region and\, more generally\, in Europe. In particular\, we will discuss topics such as: \n> Everyday language practices among speakers in “contact areas”\, their communication\, and compensations strategies (code switching\, code mixing\, hybridisation\, calques\, borrowings …);\n> Formal analysis of language contact phenomena (phonology\, morphology\, syntax structures …);\n> Consequences and challenges: language loss or obsolescence; parallel standard\, language secessionism\, new koiné; status change (“minority language” -> “heritage language”) …;\n> The exposure to different uses\, registers\, and lects of the minority language continuum as a possible key factor of a successful language policy;\n> The contact phenomena in language education and training programmes. \nMore details\, abstracts and bios
