CFP: Exile as a Foreign Body International Conference (Sorbonne)

Deadline: September 13, 2026

EXILE AS A FOREIGN BODY International Conference will be held 2–3 December 2026 at Université Paris Nanterre, Institut des Sciences sociales du Politique, Sorbonne Université, UMR 8224 Eur’ORBEM UXIL & Campus Condorcet

CALL FOR PAPERS

Concept and Rationale

This conference proposes to approach the experience of exile in the twentieth century through the lens of the body. The body is understood here as a point of intersection between the material conditions of existence, the institutional mechanisms that frame migration, and the cultural forms through which exile is lived and represented. This perspective seeks to complement approaches that have primarily examined exile through the lenses of memory, identity, cultural circulation, and intellectual transfer.

Deadline: August 31, 2026

Conference held March 4-7, 2027 in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA

http://www.icldc-hawaii.org

Language lives not only in grammar and lexicon but also in the creative practices of its speakers, as expressed through song, story, performance, crafting, and visual arts. Though traditionally viewed as ancillary to the documentary process, these creative practices are increasingly being incorporated into language documentation workflows. Moreover, the arts play a critical role in furthering and supporting language maintenance and reclamation efforts, helping to sustain intergenerational transmission among minoritized, ancestral, and diaspora languages.
