CFP: West Point Conference on Language, Culture, and Military United States Military Academy

Deadline: May 1, 2023

West Point, NY September 29 – October 1, 2023

The United States Military Academy’s Department of Foreign Languages (DFL) invites proposals from scholars across cultural and linguistic disciplines for the Inaugural West Point Conference on Language, Culture, and Military, with a focus on representations of military experiences in the humanities. This conference welcomes multiple and diverse approaches at the intersections of language, culture, and aspects of the human experience with a nexus to “military” (such as but not limited to militar, militaire, 軍 jūn, revolution, rebellion, guerrilla, etc.). From Xenophon to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Penthesilea to Joan of Arc, Cervantes to Camões, Erich Maria Remarque to Václav Havel, we witness across all linguistic, literary, and cultural traditions the impact of what one may classify as military (or paramilitary) activities on the broader human experience. We can draw great insight from an analysis of these experiences across all linguistic and cultural traditions, as language reflects, constructs, records, and negotiates key socio-cultural aspects, such as individual and collective identities, conceptualizations of reality, motivations, aesthetics, and historical narratives.
