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:Digital Modern Languages Seminar Series Launch
DESCRIPTION:Professor Claire Taylor\, University of Liverpool: ‘Points of Intersection: Digital Modern Languages’ \nAbstract: In my talk I would like to explore the points of interconnection that have arisen in recent years between Modern Languages and the digital broadly conceived\, this latter encompassing digital humanities\, digital culture\, digital pedagogy\, and many more. Starting from an overview of recent developments in Modern Languages research that have engaged with the digital\, I subsequently set out the crucial contributions that Modern Linguists can make to debates in Digital Humanities and Digital Culture Studies. I highlight in particular the insights that Modern Linguists can offer regarding co-creation; a commitment to community engagement; a contestation of Anglophone models; and a linguistically- and culturally-specific cultural studies approach to digital materials. In this way\, the talk argues\, Modern Languages scholarship on the digital can be part of the productive dialogue between humanities-based approaches and cultural studies-based approaches that currently characterises debates in Digital Humanities and Digital Culture studies alike\, and can contribute to the shape of these fields. \nClaire Taylor is Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Liverpool and leads the Digital Latin American Cultures Network with Thea Pitman and Tori Holmes. \nThe seminar will be followed by a wine reception. \nATTENDANCE FREE BUT PLACES LIMITED. CLICK HERE TO BOOK. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIGITAL MODERN LANGUAGES SERIES \nThis series is part of the AHRC-funded Open World Research Initiative\, and is supported by OWRI projects Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community and Language Acts and Worldmaking projects\, and by the AHRC Leadership Fellow for Modern Languages (Janice Carruthers). The series is convened by Paul Spence (King’s College London) and Naomi Wells (Institute of Modern Languages Research).
