Call for Papers

The University of Cagliari, Italy, and the I-LanD (Identity and Language Diversity) research centre invite researchers and scholars to submit proposals for individual papers and panels on the following theme: Language and Social Class.
Following the three successful events hosted by the Universities of Naples (2013), Catania (2014) and Macerata (2016) where topics such as diversity, alterity and power have been explored with reference to gender, ethnicity and culture, we are now ready to tackle the elephant in the room: Social Class. As Machin and Richardson (2008) stated “discourses may be variously approached as (often simultaneously) reflecting class structures, as a site of class inequalities, as expressive of class identities or class consciousness and/or as a constituent part of more performative class action”. We thus invite contributions that investigate the role of language in reflecting, maintaining, enacting and inculcating ideas of and around social class in literary, non-literary and multimodal texts and discourse in all geographical and linguistic areas.
The following macro-areas and/or methodological approaches are to be understood as a general guideline and can be further extended:
– Critical Discourse Analysis
– Linguistic and cultural mediation
– Linguistic anthropology
– Corpus Linguistics
– Language crossing, switching, and mixing
– Language variation and language change
– Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s)
– Contrastive Pragmatics
– Ethnographic approaches to language
– Literary studies
– Cultural and postcolonial studies
– Popular culture
– History of ideas
Conference dates: 28-30 September 2017, University of Cagliari (Italy).
