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.

CFP: “The Long Perestroika from Below”

Deadline: July 31, 2026

edited by Juliane Fürst, Bradley Gorski, Veronika Pehe, Kathleen Smith

We invite submissions of abstracts for a collective volume to be published by CEU Press under the title “The Long Perestroika from Below.” The volume will be open access and aims for publication in the summer of 2027.
