Meeting Description:

The Department of Hispanic Studies at UC-Riverside and UC-Mexicanistas
announces the 2nd Mexican Sociolinguistics, Literary, and Cultural Studies
Conference to be held in April 24-25, 2020. This conference brings together a
diverse gathering of academics from Mexico, the U.S., and other parts of the
world working on the geopolitical and cultural formation and dynamics of
Greater Mexico, from the barrios of Chicago, Los Angeles and New York to the
borders of Chiapas and Campeche.

Venue: University of California, Riverside


Call for Papers: 

Keynote Speakers:

José Manuel Valenzuela, Colegio de la Frontera Norte 
Isabel Velázquez, University of Nebraska-Lincoln 

Special Cultural Event:
Los Cardencheros de Sapioriz and a presentation of the film A morir en los
desiertos with the director 

Borders and bordos: Greater Mexican studies at the crossroads of the 21st
century 

A unique academic space where sociolinguists come together with cultural,
literary and film scholars to collectively address historical and current
issues in Mexican studies, this conference seeks to construct bridges across
the usually-divided disciplines of linguistics and cultural/literary studies.
In doing so, we are pushed to consider the many ways in which borders shape
our current geopolitical realities, material borders cutting across land as
much as ideological borders of race, gender, sexuality, and other cultural
formations. How do the concept and reality of borders inform and shape both
our research and pedagogy? How do we, as both knowledge-producers and
educators, respond to the Border? 

Research interests incorporating bilingualism and biculturalism as well as
multilingualism and multiculturalism, Mexican/Mexican-American
sociolinguistics and sociocultural linguistics, linguistic anthropology,
critical language and literary studies, border identities, linguistic
identities, language ideologies, politics of language education, transnational
cultural production and translanguaging phenomena, raciolinguistics as the
normalization of language and race as an essential component of power and
control in linguistic and cultural production, and similar and other
complementary themes and topics are suggested. 

As a uniquely multidisciplinary gathering, this conference will have a
structure designed to foment inter- and extra- disciplinary dialogue and
engage with artistic performances directly. Presenters will have three
participation options: seminars, presentation panels, and pedagogical
workshops. The participants must choose one of the three formats when they
submit their abstract or panel proposals. 

 
Submission of pre-arranged panels, particularly those across disciplines, is
greatly encouraged. A  combination of literature, culture and linguistics will
especially considered. 
 

Papers should be presented in either Spanish or English. Panel presentations
are limited to no more than 15 minutes (8 pages double-spaced). If you are
interested in reading an original paper, please submit a 300 word abstract
electronically by the deadline of January 15, 2020. Proposals should be
submitted online at https://ucrmexicanistas.wordpress.com/submissions  

The selection committee will respond to all proposals by mid-February 2020.
