CFP: First Conference on Global Indigenous Studies (CGIS 2024)

 The First Conference on Global Indigenous Studies is now accepting proposal submissions until June 15th, 2024! Visit the Call for Proposals page on our website to learn more. 

Conference description: Throughout the world, ethnic minorities and Indigenous people have strived to protect their rich heritages and linguistic characteristics against colonial powers, expanding nation-states, as well as the homogenizing forces of globalization. It is increasingly being recognized, exemplified by UNITED NATIONS' “Indigenous Languages Decade” (2022-2032) (https://en.unesco.org/idil2022-2032), that Indigenous languages and the epistemologies embedded in them are fundamental for the perseverance of biological and cultural diversities. The protection and promotion of linguistic diversity help to improve the human potential, agency, and local governance of native speakers of endangered languages, which is especially critical in the face of climate change and environmental degradation. 

The First Conference on Global Indigenous Studies (CGIS 2024) is a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary event that will bring together national and international scholars, educators, practitioners, students, policy makers, activists, academic institutions, Indigenous organizations, governmental and non-governmental organizations. The participants in this conference will be involved in a local and global dialogue and exchange of ideas, research, and experiences on the themes of the event.

National Conference on “#Human Rights, #Language and #Culture: Advancements in Contemporary Times”(Hybrid) Jan-2024-S.G.T. University, New Delhi

 Call for Papers

for a Two-day National Conference on

“Human Rights, Language and Culture: Advancements in Contemporary Times”

Concept Note

"Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free, though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man."

- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Humans and their constant strife for emancipation, physical or psychological, has been a major sculptor for social and individual relations throughout history. This struggle extends beyond the absence of immediately apparent restraints and encompasses the freedom to think, express oneself, and exercise one's rights. Today, human rights discourse acknowledges the significance of both physical and psychological well-being as a fundamental aspect of human rights, as is enshrined in various international declarations and conventions. It implies that restrictions on these freedoms, whether through censorship, discrimination, or cultural norms, infringe upon a person's human rights.

Language and culture serve as powerful tools contributing to both communication and cognitive development to further human rights discourse. Discrimination or suppression of languages can lead to the restriction of thought and expression. Recognizing and protecting linguistic diversity ensures individual freedom and access to cultural heritage. Cultural practices, traditions, and norms also have the potential to foster or impede mental freedom. Contemporary advancements in human rights discourse involve challenging cultural norms that infringe upon individual freedoms, such as gender-based discrimination or restrictions on freedom of expression within specific cultural contexts and reconciling communal diversity with human rights principles.

The intersection of human rights, language, and culture bears significant relevance in an increasingly globalized contemporary world. In a world characterized by increasing intercultural connectivity and diversity, the study and promotion of human rights in various cultural and linguistic contexts becomes of paramount importance. This conference aims to provide a platform for scholars, activists, and practitioners to explore and discuss the advancements, challenges, and innovations related to human rights, language, and culture in contemporary times. We invite submissions investigating this shared ground between fields of human language, literature, communication, and cultural studies. Below is a prospective but not exhaustive list of relevant topics. We encourage a broad range of abstracts not limited to the list below.

Language rights and linguistic diversity.	Language barriers and integration challenges in a multicultural society.
Indigenous languages and cultural heritage.	The importance of legal documentation in regional languages for cross-cultural accessibility.
Representation of the human rights discourse through visual culture like movies, cartoon strips, songs, and graphic narratives.	Explorations of nationalism through depictions of Civil services, armed forces, and Swadesi industries in Indian literature.
Constitutional language in a globalised world.	Narratives of public employees.
Gender, identity, and human rights.	Human rights and migrant experience.
Human rights and processes of its linguistic interpretation.	Linguistic and cultural exchange in diaspora communities.
Narratives centred on constitutional accessibility.	Multilingual education and inclusive pedagogies.
Effective policy advocacy for linguistic and cultural rights.	Explorations of citizen rights discourse in Indian Literature.

Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Chosen, Bestowed, Acquired, Assigned: Names and Naming in Youth Literature (Proposal deadline: July 15, 2023)

 

Edited by I. M. Nick and Anne W. Anderson

    Just as names are among the first and most basic means by which we order and make sense of our world, so too do names in works of literature help readers order and make sense of created worlds. Moreover, names in literature often connote more than they denote. This edited collection will consider how names, depictions of naming practices, and explorations of name theory in youth literature can enrich our understanding of created worlds and, by implication, of our real world. For the purposes of this collection, we draw on the Children’s Literature Association’s conception of literature as “books, films, and other media created for, or adopted by, children and young adults around the world, past, present, and future" (https://www.childlitassn.org).

    Chapters proposed for this volume might address names, naming, and name theory in youth literature of any media and/or modality, from any perspective, and using the analytical tools of any discipline. From the names of places, people, animals, and plants to the monikers of fairies and goblins, cyborgs and droids, any type of name from any time period or from any language is welcome. Please see the American Name Society’s glossary of naming terminology (https://www.americannamesociety.org/names/); this CFP can be viewed on the ANS site, as well. The primary works examined may be fiction or non-fiction. The only subject-matter stipulation for submission is that the primary intended reading audience of the piece(s) of literature investigated must be youth (i.e., children, adolescents, and/or early adults). 

The following is a partial list of possible topics, but we also welcome being surprised by other pertinent suggestions. 

•    Names as chosen, bestowed, acquired, assigned, or self-selected 

• Naming practices, rites, rituals, and regulations and their implications

•    Literary devices or linguistic mechanisms used in creating names and their implications

•    Questions of unnaming and renaming of people, places, and things

•    Questions of names and identity, self-hood, and socio-cultural connection

•    Names as constructions of normal vs. abnormal, good vs. evil, acceptable vs. anathema 

•    Theoretical frameworks for analyzing names in youth literature and media

•    Challenges and strategies for translating names

•    Names of the non-human, inhuman, mechanical, and systemic and their implications

•    Names in galaxies far, far away and in subatomic systems

•    Names as markers of political, ideological, historical controversies

•    Nonsensical names and/or memetic names and their implications

Proposal Submission Process 

•    Abstract proposals (max. 500 words, excluding the title and references) should be sent as a PDF email attachment to Dr. Anne W. Anderson (YouthLit2023@gmail.com).

•    For organizational purposes, the proposals must include “YOUTHLIT2023” in the subject line of the email.

•    All proposals must include an abstract, a title, and a preliminary list of references.

•    The full name(s) of the author(s) and the author(’s’) affiliation(s) must appear in the body of the email. These details should NOT appear in the attached proposal.

•    In the case of multi-authored submissions, one person must be clearly identified as the primary contact. 

•    The DEADLINE for proposal submissions is July 15, 2023. All proposals will be submitted to a double-blind review process. Authors will be notified about acceptance on or before September 15, 2023. 

•    Final chapters (max. 7,000 words, excluding abstracts and references) will be due March 15, 2024.

For further information about this call, please view our website's FAQ page (https://sites.google.com/view/youthlit2023/) or feel free to contact Dr. Anne W. Anderson (YouthLit2023@gmail.com). We look forward to receiving your proposals!

It will be the authors' only task to submit the paper (including summary and keywords) in the form they have prepared. Technical editors will prepare papers to editorial requirements.

Istanbul is one of the world's great cities famous for its historical monuments and magnificent scenic beauties. It is the only city in the world which spreads over two continents: it lies at a point where Asia and Europe are separated by a narrow strait - the Bosphorus. Istanbul has a history of over 2,500 years, and ever since its establishment on this strategic junction of lands and seas, the city has been a crucial trade center. We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul! Organized By: OCERINT – INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION CENTER OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH  For any further queries about the ADVED 2016 conference: adved16@hotmail.com
