9th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation:

Navigating new realities in diaspora communities

March 6-8, 2025

Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA

One notable achievement of the modern language documentation and conservation movement has been the (re)centering of community in language work. Rather than viewing language as an abstract system, documentary practice increasingly begins with the community, is guided by the community, and contributes to ongoing maintenance of language in the community. At the same time the nature of community is changing. Global forces of migration and urbanization have resulted in the displacement of language teachers and learners from their traditional communities, and in many cases these diaspora communities are now larger than the original communities from which they arose. And yet, whether intentionally or not, the practice of language documentation and conservation has largely ignored the diaspora in favor of more traditional undisplaced communities.

CFP/Conference: Telling Stories about the Dark Past

Deadline: August 15, 2024

Södertörns Högskola, Stockholm, 12-13 September, 2024

Storytelling takes place everywhere: in books, films, songs, magazines, and everyday conversations, as well as in school textbooks, in museums, and in academic research. But some stories are difficult and nearly always incomplete: stories about the past, and especially, about atrocities in the past. This is particularly noticeable in Eastern Europe, where constructions or reconstructions of national historical memory remain controversial, sensitive, and contested. Memories of past events tend to be fundamentally political. Governments establish or close museums of national trauma, promote some interpretations of historical events while rejecting or even legislating against others, erect or dismantle statues of national heroes, and institute new days of national commemoration. This conference will explore different uses of stories of the past, in a number of different contexts (in media productions, educational settings, academia and politics). This two-day conference at Södertörns Högskola in Stockholm seeks to attract established scholars, early career researchers, and PhD students conducting research on the Baltic countries or Central and Eastern Europe (including the Balkans).
