CfP, DATeCH international conference, Madrid 19-20 May, 2014
by Dagmar Riedel 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

The CfP below was just posted on the DHd listservice. I am forwarding this even though it is an English-speaking conference. I have read the thread on the question in which language to submit proposals to DH2014 with fascination, and wondered about two things: 1 / There are political and economic aspects linked to every lingua franca, and it is my understanding that there was a debated British newspapers a few months back about the fact that for several decades the learning of foreign languages has been rapidly declining in Britain, and the lack of prestige awarded to the mastery of foreign languages is now showing a concrete impact in the diplomatic service and the British business community. Still, I wonder whether a lingua franca is needed to make any global, transnational, or international community work, or are we going to revitalize Esperanto or are moving back to Latin and French which were important linguae francae in continental Europe? Historical alternatives would be Arabic and Persian whose reach until the 19th century covered most of the Muslim community in Eurasia and Africa, from Spain and the Balkans to northern China, Indian Subcontinent and the Pacific Rim. 2 / I find Ernesto's first comment particularly interesting because his points that languages are not neutral vehicles and that research standards vary from language to language (I would even argue that they vary from society to society, but that is another matter). But taking the long view -- as a German native who is working in the US on matters of Islamic history in Arabic and Persian -- the dominance of (bad) English at international conferences is a recent phenomenon because the international rise of English as the predominant academic language only began after 1945. Therefore it stands to reason that there is a good chance that at a certain point English will be replaced by another language. Possible candidates, judging by the sheer sizes of their world wide communities of native speakers are Mandarin and Spanish. As Neven pointed out, it may be possible to accommodate in an international context large language groups in addition to English, but the real challenge will be to accommodate native speakers in comparatively small language communities such as Maltese, Gaelic, Icelandic -- to add more exotic examples to list of smallish European languages.

Veuillez faire circuler svp (voir le lien vers la présentation* à la fin) L’Institut Italien de Culture de Montréal, le Département des Littératures de langue française et le Département d’Études Anglaises de l'Université de Montréal, le Centre de recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les Technologies Émergentes (CITÉ) et le Centre de Recherche Interuniversitaire sur les Humanités Numériques sont heureux de vous inviter à la *Conférence* de Maurizio Ferraris Philosophe - Université de Turin Kant et le téléphone portable *Nouveau réalisme et nouveaux médias* *Lundi 28 octobre à 18h* Université de Montréal Salle *B-4335* 3200 rue Jean Brillant **** La conférence présentera quatre thèses. La première (relativisme) est *une critique de l’hypothèse post-moderne selon laquelle la réalité dans son ensemble est socialement construite* ; cette thèse a déterminé une conception déformée des médias comme constructeurs omnipuissants de la réalité. La deuxième (nouveau réalisme) est la thèse selon laquelle* une couche fondamentale de la réalité existe indépendamment des médias mais aussi de notre esprit*. La troisième (documentalité) propose *une ontologie qui explique que la construction des objets sociaux dépend de l’enregistrement, enregistrement qu’il faut considérer comme la fonction à la base des médias et de la construction de la réalité* dans son ensemble. La quatrième (émergence) affirme que* l’intentionnalité comme la normativité sont des produits de la documentalité et des médias qui en font partie*. *L'évènement est co-organisé par Marcello Vitali-Rosati, professeur-adjoint de littérature et culture numérique au Département des littératures de langue française, et par Michael Eberle Sinatra, professeur agrégé au Département d'études anglaises, de l'Université de Montréal. * **Présentation de l'évènement sur le site du CITÉ* (avec brève biographie de Maurizio Ferraris) : Actualités/*Nouvelles<http://www.cite.umontreal.ca/?page_id=651> * *Prière de partager dans vos réseaux même si vous ne pourrez pas participer à l'évènement.* Au plaisir de vous y retrouver !

by Alex Gil 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hello all, We are making wonderful progress planning our first GO::DH global conference in conjunction with the second RedHD conference. We need help translating the conference call. Our *base* languages will be Spanish, English and Portuguese, but we will send out a global call, so all translations are welcome. The text is currently in Spanish, and I will start working on the English translation after I send this message. If you would like to volunteer to translate it into Portuguese or any other language, please let me know, and I will send you the file in English or Spanish. The document is about 500 words. Stay tuned for the conference call! A.
