Language and Diversity Discourse International Conference
The University of Naples L’Orientale, Italy,
invites researchers and scholars to submit proposals for individual papers on
the following theme: Language and Diversity Discourse.
Researchers and scholars are invited to
submit original contributions exploring the thorny issue of Language and
Diversity focusing on the discourses that emerge as bearers of the
values of ‘alterity’. Following the debates on the several modes in which identity
is construed through language, the Conference will prompt a reflection on the
relationship between language and ethnic and cultural identity (drawing on
ongoing research, for instance, on buzz-words and expressions such as
‘colored’, ‘Negro’, ‘black’, ‘Afro-American’, ’African American’); on the
relationship between language and gender and/or sexual identity (drawing on
studies on the stereotypes conveyed by the use of terms like ‘fag’, ‘queen’,
‘queer’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’ and all attempts at linguistic sanitization); and, on
any form of language diversification arising from
contamination/hybridization/migration of genre(s), discourse(s) and
text-typologies (such as changing forms and formats between spoken and written
English, specialized discourse vs. popularized discourse, and so forth).
