4. LANGUAGING DIVERSITY 2019 – UNIVERSIDAD DE ZARAGOZA (TERUEL) [NUESTRA PROPUESTA]

• Temática (líneas/preguntas de investigación):

• ¿Qué estrategias de persuasión predominan en el discurso oral, escrito y multimodal? • ¿De los tres modos de persuasión Aristotélica (ethos, pathos, logos), cuál/es es/son más comunes en

determinados contextos? ¿Cómo se comunica cada uno de esos modos hoy en día? • ¿Cómo se reflejan los límites difusos entre persuasión y manipulación en las sociedades actuales de la post-

verdad? ¿Cómo puede llegar a manipularse la información en diferentes contextos (e.g. política, periodismo, empresa, etc.) con el fin de servir a los intereses exclusivos de un sector de la sociedad (Van Dijk 2006: 363)?

• ¿Hasta qué punto contribuye la supuesta transparencia, eficacia y honestidad de ciertas estructuras de poder a la veracidad y solidez con las que se perciben sus mensajes? ¿Cómo se construyen esos mensajes para continuar realzando y protegiendo su imagen pública?

• ¿Subyace la persuasión tras cualquier evento comunicativo, al igual que la emoción o el afecto? • ¿Qué emociones suelen contribuir más a la persuasión en diferentes contextos? ¿Cómo se verbalizan y

comunican los mensajes persuasivos para adecuarse lo máximo posible a dichas emociones? • ¿Qué estrategias discursivas (verbales y no-verbales) son más efectivas en diferentes contextos (profesional,

público, privado) y a través de diferentes canales comunicativos (cara a cara, en línea, etc.)? • ¿Qué estrategias de persuasión son más frecuentes en diferentes idiomas? ¿Qué estrategias son más útiles y

adecuadas en unos idiomas, pero no en otros? • En un mundo cada vez más globalizado, ¿qué estrategias de mediación intercultural resultan de mayor

efectividad de cara a comunicar y difundir cualquier mensaje persuasivo que pueda afectar o influir a personas de distinta procedencia geográfica y contexto lingüístico?

• ¿Influyen variables sociolingüísticas como la edad o el sexo en la persuasión? ¿Qué papel juegan? • ¿Existe alguna conexión entre nuestra(s) identidad(es) y la utilización de estrategias de persuasión concretas?

¿Cómo se construyen, moldean y refuerzan discursivamente nuestras identidades de edad o género en contextos persuasivos?

• ¿Cómo y en qué medida se utiliza la persuasión en el mundo altamente conectado de la actualidad como un instrumento para fomentar la discriminación por motivos de origen racial o étnico, edad, sexo, orientación sexual, creencias, discapacidad, etc.? ¿Qué estrategias persuasivas se emplean para prevenir, combatir y eliminar cualquier tipo de práctica discriminatoria?

DISCURSO Y PERSUASIÓN 3.0: IDENTIDADES EN UN MUNDO HÍBRIDO Y MULTIMODAL

Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas, Teruel Universidad de Zaragoza, España

24 septiembre 2019 (Talleres) 25-27 septiembre 2019 (Congreso)

Tras el éxito de los cinco eventos precedentes organizados por las Universidades de Nápoles (2013), Catania (2014), Macerata (2016), Cagliari (2017) y Amberes (2018), el Centro Interuniversitario de Investigación I-Land trae la sexta edición de su congreso anual Languaging Diversity (LD6) al Campus de Teruel de la Universidad de Zaragoza (España). En Teruel, Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, se combina la belleza de su arquitectura Mudéjar con la trágica y emocionante historia de Diego de Marcilla e Isabel de Segura, los famosos ‘amantes de Teruel’.

LD6 toma como punto de partida los temas de las ediciones anteriores (diversidad, otredad, poder, clase social y globalización) para proponer una línea de investigación relacionada con la intención pragmática o comunicativa a través de la cual se representa la identidad, se comunica el poder y se reproducen toda una serie de patrones sociales, a saber: la persuasión.

Tradicionalmente, la persuasión Aristotélica y sus tres modos (ethos, pathos y logos) se han asociado a géneros textuales típicamente persuasivos, tales como los discursos políticos, los editoriales o los artículos de opinión, donde son solo unos pocos los que tienen acceso al poder (políticos, periodistas, abogados, académicos, etc.) y pueden, por tanto, dar forma a las relaciones sociales que de él se desprenden. Sin embargo, en la era actual de las redes sociales y el Internet de las Cosas, se hace necesario estudiar este fenómeno desde una nueva perspectiva, lo que nos lleva a intentar dar respuesta a preguntas como: ¿Quién tiene el poder de persuadir hoy en día? ¿Cómo se convierten ciertas personas en influyentes? ¿Qué canales de comunicación son más efectivos a la hora de persuadir a otros? ¿Cuáles son los motivos que subyacen tras la persuasión hoy en día? ¿Qué estrategias persuasivas funcionan mejor en cada comunidad discursiva o de práctica? ¿Qué identidades pueden ser más maleables y, por tanto, están más abiertas a modificación y/o refuerzo como resultado de un evento comunicativo persuasivo? Todas estas preguntas surgen y tienen cabida en un orden mundial de creciente hibridación, en una época en la que existe una separación cada vez menos evidente entre el texto escrito y el (audio)visual, entre géneros textuales aparentemente objetivos y aquellos centrados fundamentalmente en la opinión y, como no, entre verdad y engaño. En este contexto,

11

además, nuestra participación activa como ciudadanía global en el consumo, producción y distribución de información, o ‘prosumo’ (Weeks et al. 2017), ha difuminado la frontera entre quien persuade y quien es persuadido. En LD6, nos proponemos arrojar luz sobre las complejidades del discurso persuasivo y las múltiples reacciones que puede suscitar en las sociedades globalizadas y multiculturales de hoy en día. Este esfuerzo conlleva una disposición y un compromiso genuinos para desentrañar la naturaleza del discurso persuasivo en contextos diversos (arte, educación, empresa, la esfera privada, etc.), a través de canales diversos (interacción cara a cara, comunicación en línea, artículos publicados, actuaciones artísticas, etc.), y con distintos grados de relevancia para cualquiera de nuestras identidades (lingüística, política, de género, etc.). Al igual que en ediciones anteriores, LD6 nace de la interdisciplinariedad, la colaboración y el intercambio de ideas, algo que se refleja claramente en la composición del comité organizador y científico, que abarca las cinco grandes áreas presentes en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas del Campus de Teruel (i.e. Filología, Psicología, Ciencias de la Educación, Administración y Dirección de Empresas y Bellas Artes). Con el fin de conseguir un programa lo más variado posible, consideraremos todas aquellas propuestas que se enmarquen en cualquiera de las grandes áreas temáticas del congreso, que se basen en cualquiera de sus cuatro idiomas (inglés, español, francés e italiano) y que utilicen cualquiera de los siguientes formatos: talleres, comunicaciones, pósteres, y presentaciones ‘pecha kucha’. A continuación, se plantean las preguntas de investigación a las que deberían intentar ceñirse las propuestas:

• ¿Qué estrategias de persuasión predominan en el discurso oral, escrito y multimodal? • ¿De los tres modos de persuasión Aristotélica (ethos, pathos, logos), cuál/es es/son más

comunes en determinados contextos? ¿Cómo se comunica cada uno de esos modos hoy en día?

• ¿Cómo se reflejan los límites difusos entre persuasión y manipulación en las sociedades actuales de la post-verdad? ¿Cómo puede llegar a manipularse la información en diferentes contextos (e.g. política, periodismo, empresa, etc.) con el fin de servir a los intereses exclusivos de un sector de la sociedad (Van Dijk 2006: 363)?

• ¿Hasta qué punto contribuye la supuesta transparencia, eficacia y honestidad de ciertas estructuras de poder a la veracidad y solidez con las que se perciben sus mensajes? ¿Cómo se construyen esos mensajes para continuar realzando y protegiendo su imagen pública?

• ¿Subyace la persuasión tras cualquier evento comunicativo, al igual que la emoción o el afecto?

• ¿Qué emociones suelen contribuir más a la persuasión en diferentes contextos? ¿Cómo se verbalizan y comunican los mensajes persuasivos para adecuarse lo máximo posible a dichas emociones?

• ¿Qué estrategias discursivas (verbales y no-verbales) son más efectivas en diferentes contextos (profesional, público, privado) y a través de diferentes canales comunicativos (cara a cara, en línea, etc.)?

• ¿Qué estrategias de persuasión son más frecuentes en diferentes idiomas? ¿Qué estrategias son más útiles y adecuadas en unos idiomas, pero no en otros?

• En un mundo cada vez más globalizado, ¿qué estrategias de mediación intercultural resultan de mayor efectividad de cara a comunicar y difundir cualquier mensaje persuasivo que pueda afectar o influir a personas de distinta procedencia geográfica y contexto lingüístico?

• ¿Influyen variables sociolingüísticas como la edad o el sexo en la persuasión? ¿Qué papel juegan?

12

• ¿Existe alguna conexión entre nuestra(s) identidad(es) y la utilización de estrategias de persuasión concretas? ¿Cómo se construyen, moldean y refuerzan discursivamente nuestras identidades de edad o género en contextos persuasivos?

• ¿Cómo y en qué medida se utiliza la persuasión en el mundo altamente conectado de la actualidad como un instrumento para fomentar la discriminación por motivos de origen racial o étnico, edad, sexo, orientación sexual, creencias, discapacidad, etc.? ¿Qué estrategias persuasivas se emplean para prevenir, combatir y eliminar cualquier tipo de práctica discriminatoria?

• ¿En qué géneros textuales/tipos de texto es la persuasión más explícita, y por qué? ¿Dónde es más implícita? ¿Cómo se revela y se procesa la persuasión en aquellos casos en los que se transmite o construye de un modo implícito?

Las propuestas pueden hacer uso de cualquiera de los siguientes enfoques metodológicos (incluyendo cualquier otro que pueda resultar de interés a la temática de esta edición):

• Análisis (crítico) de género textual • Análisis (crítico) del discurso / Estudios del discurso • Análisis de contenido • Análisis del discurso basado en corpus • Análisis del discurso multimodal • Antropología lingüística • Comunicación política • Enseñanza y aprendizaje de idiomas (pedagogía de los géneros textuales, CLIL, etc.) • Estudios audiovisuales • Estudios culturales • Estudios de traducción • Estudios fílmicos/de cine • Estudios literarios • Estudios sobre alfabetización • Historia de las ideas • Lingüística cognitiva • Lingüística sistémica funcional • Neurolingüística • Pragmática contrastiva e intercultural • Psicolingüística • Retórica • Sociolingüística • Teoría de la metáfora conceptual • Teoría de la relevancia • Teorías emocionales constructivistas • Teorías emocionales de la valoración/evaluación

24 September 2019 (Pre-Conference Workshops) 25-27 September 2019 (Main Conference)

Following the five successful events hosted by the Universities of Naples (2013), Catania (2014), Macerata (2016), Cagliari (2017) and Antwerp (2018), the I-Land Interuniversity Research Centre brings the sixth edition of its Languaging Diversity annual conference (LD6) to the University of Zaragoza, Spain, at the Campus of Teruel. The beautiful historic city of Teruel, a UNESCO world heritage site, boasts mesmerising examples of the Mudejar architectural style, and is home to the tragic and deeply moving story of Diego de Marcilla and Isabel de Segura, the so-called ‘lovers of Teruel’.

LD6 builds on the themes of the previous editions (i.e. diversity, alterity, power, social class and globalisation) to propose a research strand linked to persuasion, the pragmatic or communicative intention whereby identity is enacted, power communicated and societal patterns reproduced.

The three Aristotelian modes of persuasion (i.e. ethos, pathos and logos) have traditionally been associated with such typically persuasive genres as political speeches, editorials or opinion articles, which are claimed to shape power relations where those at the helm were a selected few (politicians, journalists, lawyers, renowned scholars, etc.). The age of social media and the Internet of Things, however, forces academics to study this phenomenon from a new perspective and try to answer questions such as the following: Who holds the power to persuade nowadays? How do certain people become influential? What channels are most effective when trying to persuade others? What are the underlying motives behind persuasion nowadays? Which persuasive strategies work best in each community of practice? Which of our various identities are most likely to be moulded and/or reinforced as a result of persuasion? All these questions arise in a world order of increasing hybridization, at a time when there are fewer boundaries between the written text and the (audio)visual, between seemingly factual genres and those where opinion is markedly present; in short, between truth and fabrication. In this setting, our active participation as global citizens in the consumption, production and transmission of information, or ‘prosumption’ (Weeks et al. 2017), has also blurred the boundaries between persuader and persuadee.

18

In LD6, we set out to cast light on the intricacies of persuasive discourse and the manifold reactions it may engender in today’s globalised and multicultural societies. At the core of this endeavour is a genuine willingness and commitment to tease out the nature of persuasion in diverse contexts (e.g. art, education, business, companies, the private sphere, etc.), through diverse channels (e.g. face-to-face interaction, on-line communication, published articles, performances, etc.), and as more or less relevant to diverse identities (e.g. linguistic, political, gendered, etc.). As in previous LD editions, interdisciplinarity will also be key for us. This time, in LD6, the collaboration and cross-fertilisation of knowledge will show in an organising and scientific team encompassing Philology, Psychology, Education, Business and Fine Arts, five areas representing the extremely enriching interdisciplinary make-up of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities in Teruel. We are looking forward to a varied programme and invite abstracts in any of the conference languages (English, Spanish, French and Italian) for full workshops, papers, posters, short work-in-progress reports in the pecha kucha format, as well as panels adhering to any of the following broad research questions:

• Which persuasion strategies predominate in oral, written and multimodal discourse? • Which of the three Aristotelian modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos, logos) stands out in

different contexts? How is each communicated? • How are the fuzzy boundaries between persuasion and manipulation revealed in today’s

hybrid, multicultural and post-truth societies? How may information come to be manipulated in various contexts (e.g. political, journalistic, corporate, etc.) to suit and further the interests of “[…] one party […] against the best interests of the recipients” (Van Dijk 2006: 363)?

• How far does the perceived transparency, efficiency and honesty of certain power structures contribute to the perceived veracity and persuasiveness of their messages? How are those messages construed to further enhance and protect their public image?

• Does persuasion underlie any communicative event, just as emotion or affect? • What emotions are most likely to contribute to persuasion in various contexts? How are

persuasive messages construed and conveyed to tap into those precise emotions? • What discursive strategies (verbal and non-verbal) are most effective in various contexts

(professional, public, private) and through various channels (face-to-face, on-line, etc.)? • What persuasive strategies seem to prevail in different languages? What strategies seem

to be most effective in particular languages, but not in others? • In an increasingly globalised world, what strategies of intercultural mediation may work

better when conveying persuasive messages that, in some way or another, may affect or influence people from various origins and with various L1 backgrounds?

• What role do sociolinguistic variables such as age or gender play in persuasion? • Is there any link between identity and the use of particular persuasive strategies? How

are age or gender identities discursively construed, shaped and reinforced in persuasive contexts?

• How and to what extent is persuasion used in today’s highly connected world as an instrument to boost discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, age, sex, sexual orientation, belief, disability, etc.? What persuasive strategies are used to prevent, counter or remove any kind of discriminatory practice?

• In which genres is persuasion most explicit and why? Where is it most implicit? How is persuasion revealed and processed in those cases where it is construed implicitly?

19

The following areas and/or methodological approaches must be understood as a general guideline that can be further extended:

• (Critical) discourse analysis/studies • (Critical) genre analysis • Appraisal theories of emotion • Cognitive linguistics • Conceptual metaphor theory • Construction emotion theories • Content analysis • Contrastive and intercultural pragmatics • Corpus-based/assisted discourse analysis • Cultural studies • Film studies • History of ideas • Language teaching and learning (Genre pedagogy, CLIL, etc.) • Linguistic anthropology • Literacy studies • Literary studies • Media studies • Multimodal discourse analysis • Neurolinguistics • Political communication • Psycholinguistics • Relevance theory • Rhetoric • Sociolinguistics • Systemic-functional linguistics • Translation studies

https://www.arts.kuleuven.be/ling/languagingdiversity2018 Following the four successful events hosted by the Universities of Naples (2013), Catania (2014), Macerata (2016) and Cagliari (2017) where topics such as diversity, alterity, power and social class have been explored with reference to gender, ethnicity and culture, we bring the Languaging Diversity Conference outside Italy with a topic about discourse and urban globalization. The conference is part of the I-LanD Research Centre, an international independent and interdisciplinary centre for advanced study in linguistics, social studies and humanities, with a focus on the concepts of diversity and identity (from linguistic, cultural and gender studies perspectives).

Conference theme: Discourse and Diversity in the Global City

Discourses in/of/about the city vibrantly conceptualize, narrate and imagine the past, present and future of a city and its citizens. The city's status, character, spirit and image are constantly imagined, reproduced and framed in private and public communication. In urban discourse languages, identities and subcultures meet, as old and new inhabitants interact with temporary visitors and guests. Accordingly, alternative city images may arise, as existing discourse representations of cities are recontextualized and transformed in other visions about the city and citizenship. This process implies utopian or dystopian views on the city, as discourse zooms in on challenges, problems and possible solutions over time. Discourse as such displays different social actors evolving around urban life, which gives an insight into to attitudes, opinions and sentiments about the city. In global cities, social experience, spaces and activities are lived through the linguascape of complex multilingual, multisensory and multimodal repertoires, as citizens' identities and (absence of) interactions cross borders which connect different languages, time, space and semiotic modes.

27

This conference brings together interdisciplinary research about discourse(s) in global cities, and wishes to analyze and discuss commonalities and distinctiveness between urban areas, conceived of as networks of spatial and symbolic nodal points and peripheral zones. The interdisciplinary focus looks for discussions and connections which involve the broad field of discourse studies and correlated issues, including but not limited to

• Sociolinguistics of globalization• Politics, communication policy and governance• Mobility, migration, circulation, tourism• Cultural spaces, capitals of culture• Imagined cities• Social, economic and technological aspects of global cities (smart cities, the

future internet, digital cities)• City marketing and city branding• Sustainable cities• Privacy and public safety, (transnational) crime fighting• Community building, community involvement and ghettoisation• Cultural mediation and multilingualism

The following macro-areas and/or methodological approaches are to be understood as a general guideline and can be further extended:

• Critical Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse Studies• Socio-cognition and Systemic Functional Linguistics• Linguistic anthropology• Corpus-based discourse studies• Language crossing, switching, and mixing• Language variation and language change• Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s)• Contrastive Pragmatics• Sociolinguistics, sociolinguistics of globalization• Ethnographic approaches to language• Literary studies• Translation Studies• Cultural Studies• Media Studies• Documentary and Film Studies• History of ideas

CALL FOR PAPERS

The University of Cagliari, Italy, and 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– Systemic Functional Linguistics– 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)

29

– 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).

CALL FOR PAPERS

Call for papers General notice Writing, reading, interpreting, translating, reporting and re-telling are all activities which draw different cultures and languages together. Diversity is at the core of all these activities, which generate lingua-cultural encounters and clashes, often leading to new beginnings, more or less hybrid spaces and identities.

Following the very successful events in Naples in 2013 and Catania in 2014, the third edition of the Languaging Diversity international conference will be held at the University of Macerata (3 - 5 March 2016), laying emphasis on the interactions between language(s) and culture(s) from the point of view of the power they generate, enforce, reinforce and undermine. As Bassnett and Trivedi said with reference to translation, “it does not happen in a vacuum, but in a

continuum”. And it is a highly manipulative activity. This is clearly true of all other forms of intercultural communication, through which power is in turn negotiated, imposed, hidden, distorted.

With its focus on power, Languaging Diversity 3 invites contributions from linguistic, literary, translation, interpreting and cultural studies scholars, as well as from academics in neighbouring disciplines with an interest in the dynamics of power, language and culture.

The conference is open, but not limited, to the following topics:

• The (re-)writing of power

• Institutional discourse and power projection

• Power relations in translation

• Audiovisual translation and accessibility as vehicles for/subverters of power

• Brokering power in interpreting

• Linguistic and cultural power in postcolonial settings

• Gender studies and the expression of power

• Corpus-based approaches to the study of power in language

• Variationist approaches to the expression of power in language: native/L1 vs. non-native/L2, original vs. mediated (translated, interpreted, edited), written vs. oral texts

• Authority and power in academic, professional and specialised language, including across disciplines

• Comparative and contrastive approaches to the expression of power across languages

• History, languages and powers.

This year, researchers and scholars are invited to submit original contributions exploring Language and Diversity by focusing on the issue of 'alterity' in discourses and translation in/of different cultures and languages. Drawing on the current debate on the several modes in which alterity and diversity are construed through language, the Conference intends to trigger a reflection on the relationship between translation and the concept of 'alterity'; on the relationship between language and cultural identity; on the relationship between language and gender and/or sexual identity also in relation to translation; and on any form of language diversification arising from contamination/hybridization/migration of genre(s), discourse(s) and text-typologies (such as changing forms and formats between spoken and written language, specialized

discourse vs. popularized discourse, and so forth). We invite submissions for abstracts for 20-minute presentations in any field related to the following macro-areas and methodological approaches that are to be understood as general guidelines and can be further extended: - Critical Discourse Analysis - Linguistic and cultural mediation - Translation perspectives - EFL, ESL, ELF, ESP and Corpus Linguistics - Language crossing, switching, and mixing - Language variation and language change - Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s) - Contrastive Pragmatics - Gender studies - Language and identity - Translation studies - Alterity and translation (conceptual, cultural and linguistic issues) - Audiovisual translation - Intersemiotic translation - Culture, identity and translation Conference description: 9-11 October 2014, University of Catania (Italy); http://www.languagingdiversity2014.unict.it Plenary speakers: Professor Susan Bassnett; Professor Augusto Guarino; Professor Sergia Adamo; Professor Pietro Taravacci; Prof. Delia Chiaro.

CALL FOR PAPERS The University of Naples L’Orientale, Italy, invites researchers and scholars to submit proposals for individual papers on the following theme: Language and Diversity Discourse. Researchers and scholars are invited to submit original contributions exploring the thorny issue of Languaging Diversity focusing on the discourses that emerge as bearers of the values of ‘alterity’. Following the debates on the several modes in which identity is construed through language, the Conference will prompt a reflection on the relationship between language and ethnic and cultural identity (drawing on ongoing research, for instance, on buzz-words and expressions such as ‘colored’, ‘Negro’, ‘black’, ‘Afro-American’, ’African American’); on the relationship between language and gender and/or sexual identity (drawing on studies on the stereotypes conveyed by the use of terms like ‘fag’, ‘queen’, ‘queer’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’ and all attempts at linguistic sanitization); and, on any form of language diversification arising from contamination/hybridization/migration of genre(s), discourse(s) and text-typologies (such as changing forms and formats between spoken and written English, specialized discourse vs. popularized discourse, and so forth). We invite submissions for abstracts for 20-minute presentations, 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 - Translation perspectives - EFL, ESL, ELF, ESP and Corpus Linguistics - Language crossing, switching, and mixing - Language variation and language change - Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s) - Contrastive Pragmatics Conference dates: 10-12 October 2013, University of Naples L’Orientale (Italy).
