Unbounded The politics of identity are central to language change. Here, linguistic boundaries rise and fall, motivating the ephemeral characteristics of language communities. The Mediterranean and European regions are replete with histories, and with power struggles, that demarcate nation, ethnicity, and community. For this, cultural and political identities, language ideologies, as well as the languages themselves, have sought boundedness, the dynamics of which have influenced change over eons, effected through demographic movements, through geopolitics, and through technological innovation. In the current era of technological advancement, transnational fluidity, intellectual power, capitalism, and revised sexualities, then, we again question the boundedness of language and identity, and ways in which to unbound these languages and ideologies. We now need to increasingly unbind these languages, and their ideologies, so to rectify, or at least see and move past, the segregations of old. The COMELA 2020 theme, 'Bounded languages ... Unbounded,' encapsulates the ongoing struggle throughout Mediterranean and European regions. As tensions between demarcation and legitimization of languages, language ideologies, and language identities, enter a new era, flexible citizenship now operates well within, and not only across, language communities, to unbind languages, and to create new boundaries, unlike those ever seen throughout history. The COMELA 2020 invites work which addresses the shifting boundedness of Language Communities of The Mediterranean and Europe. Papers and posters should acknowledge and describe processes of language shape, change, and ideology, pertinent to social, cultural, and political histories and futures, of Mediterranean and European regions. Strands Abstract and poster proposals should address the following key strands pertinent to Mediterranean and European countries and regions: – Anthropological Linguistics – Applied Sociolinguistics – Buddhist studies and discourses – Cognitive Anthropology and Language – Critical Linguistic Anthropology – Ethnographical Language Work – Ethnography of Communication – General Sociolinguistics – Islamic Studies and discourses – Language, Community, Ethnicity – Language Contact and Change – Language, Dialect, Sociolect, Genre – Language Documentation – Language, Gender, Sexuality – Language Ideologies – Language Minorities and Majorities – Language Revitalization – Language in Real and Virtual Spaces – Language Socialization – Language and Spatiotemporal Frames – Multifunctionality – Narrative and Metanarrative – Nonverbal Semiotics – Poetics and Parallelism – Post-Structuralism and Language – Semiotics and Semiology – Social Psychology of Language – Text, Context, Entextualization Presentation lengths - Colloquia – 1.5 hours with 3-5 contributors (Parts A and B are possible, thus 6-10 contributors) - General paper sessions – Approx. 20-25 minutes each, including 5 mins for questions/responses - Posters – to be displayed at designated times throughout the COMELA 2020 Submission Guidelines (via online submission in the website, or by email (see below)) General session papers - 18-word maximum presentation title - 400-word maximum abstract, including references Colloquia - Submission of only the main abstract for the colloquium is required - The abstract must contain the colloquium main description/theme, and a summary of each individual paper within the colloquium.

Spirituality and Culture 3rd Global Interdisciplinary Conference

Spirituality and Culture 3rd Global Interdisciplinary Conference Saturday 4th April 2020 - Sunday 5th April 2020 Lisbon, Portugal Spirituality recognises that there is more to reality than just the material world. The intuition that our lives have meaning and are part of something bigger is a powerful motivator for us to cultivate our spiritual side. The mystical experiences and beliefs that arise from this engagement can stimulate our imagination in unexpected ways. Feelings of transcendence and awe have inspired creative people, artists, writers and composers throughout the ages, and continue to influence cultures around the world. Spirituality has certainly not gone away in a hyper-connected age, but finds new modes of expression and practice. Spirituality and culture are closely linked. How we treat other people, what and when we eat and drink, how we interact with – and transcend – the everyday world are all affected by our spiritual orientation. Our spiritual commitments may prompt us to seek social change, travel to sacred places, and follow particular rituals to put us in touch with something beyond everyday living. We might signal our identification with a particular spiritual group by our outward appearance, and hope that our conduct will improve the culture around us in some small way. In turn, the wider culture affects our spiritual life, so that it's sometimes hard to know which aspects of our daily living are based on local customs and which are spiritual in origin. After the success of the first two Spirituality & … Culture conferences, we have pleasure in inviting you to the third. It is part of an exciting new series of inclusive interdisciplinary projects that focus on the significance of spirituality to human living, thinking and feeling in today's world. This event will explore the interactions between spirituality, culture and social phenomena – with a view to forming an innovative interdisciplinary publication to encourage further collaboration and discussion. We hope that you can join us in these conversations.

A fresh, friendly, dynamic format – at Progressive Connexions we are dedicated to breaking away from the stuffy, old-fashion conference formats, where endless presentations are read aloud off PowerPoints. We work to bring you an interactive format, where exchange of experience and information is alternated with captivating workshops, engaging debates and round tables, time set aside for getting to know each other and for discussing common future projects and initiatives, all in a warm, relaxed, egalitarian atmosphere. A chance to network with international professionals – the beauty of our interdisciplinary events is that they bring together professionals from all over the world and from various fields of activity, all joined together by a shared passion. Not only will the exchange of experience, knowledge and stories be extremely valuable in itself, but we seek to create lasting, ever-growing communities around our projects, which will become a valuable resource for those belonging to them. A chance to be part of constructing change – There is only one thing we love as much as promoting knowledge: promoting real, lasting social change by encouraging our participants to take collective action, under whichever form is most suited to their needs and expertise (policy proposals, measuring instruments, research projects, educational materials, etc.) We will support all such actions in the aftermath of the event as well, providing a platform for further discussions, advice from the experts on our Project Advisory Team and various other tools and intellectual resources, as needed. An opportunity to discuss things that matter to you – Our events are not only about discussing how things work in the respective field, but also about how people work in that field – what are the struggles, problems and solutions professionals have found in their line of work, what are the areas where better communication among specialists is needed and how the interdisciplinary approach can help bridge those gaps and help provide answers to questions from specific areas of activity. An unforgettable experience – When participating in a Progressive Connexions event, there is a good chance you will make some long-time friends. Our group sizes are intimate, our venues are comfortable and relaxing and our event locations are suited to the history and culture of the event. Ethos Progressive Connexions believes it is a mark of personal courtesy and professional respect to your colleagues that all delegates should attend for the full duration of the meeting. If you are unable to make this commitment, please do not submit an abstract or proposal for presentation. Please note: Progressive Connexions is a not-for-profit network and we are not in a position to be able to assist with conference travel or subsistence, nor can we offer discounts off published rates and fees.
