Language, Cognition and Creativity
8th International Biennial Conference of the French Association for Cognitive Linguistics (AFLiCo)
We welcome 20 minute presentations (with 8 minutes for follow-up questions) from researchers interested in linguistic creativity. Interdisciplinary papers are welcome which address verbal creativity in conversations, humor, written communication, the verbal arts, multimodal forms, gestures, etc. Because creativity is of interest to many different researchers (see scientific statement below), we also welcome papers from those working on creativity in fields such as psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, pragmatics, and psychology. The organizers especially encourage young researchers to submit an abstract. Presentations may be made in French or English.

Conference, symposium - Language
Language contact and translation in religious context
Comparative approaches
This conference brings together anthropologists and linguists working on conversion, cultural transmission and translation theory, as well as on various case studies, whose geography comprises Oceania, Amazonia, Yucatan, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East, Europe, Alaska and Chukotka (Russia), and whose temporal frame spreads from the Hellenistic era to the Spanish colonization of the Americas and to the present time. The main questions of the conference are the modalities of the ethnolinguistic encounter and translation accompanying religious conversion, whether, and how, the language gets altered as a result of these processes, and what are the broader cognitive and sociocultural consequences that accompany the linguistic transformation.

Christianity, language contact, language change
The present workshop addresses questions of language contact and language change, as well as language standardization in the Christian context both in Europe and in the New World (Americas, Africa) through a study of diachronic and synchronic corpora. Special attention is paid, on the one hand, to the role of translation as a sight of language contact, and on the other hand, to register variation as an indicator of differential propagation of innovations appeared in Christian context.

Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures
These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

“Migrants”, “refugees”, “boat people” and the Mediterranean crisis: People in words, language issues
Journal « Language, Discourse and Society »
Since 2011, the European Union is facing a dramatic migrant crisis, involved by the political and social turbulences occurred in the Middle East, Central Asia and the Corn of Africa. According to the UN Refugees Agency, over 1.5 million people were forced to leave their countries since 2014. The crisis reached a peak in 2015, with the civil war in Syria, the emergence of the Islamic State and the intervention of the Western coalition siding with the rebels to Bashar al-Assad's regime, which is supported by Russia.

Conference, symposium - Modern
Interdisciplinary strategies and collaborations
This seminar is the first of a series of three talks which will take place in each of the cities explored. It offers a space for collaboration, reflection and exchanges where explorers, partners, associate members and other leading figures are invited to lend an outside perspective. It is an invitation both to reflect on the project itself and to promote a public discussion of its critical perspectives. For instance, what is “knowledge” for an artist, a researcher or an educator, and how is it constructed ? For what discourse and representations are artists, researchers in the humanities and educators responsible ? What research stance should be adopted to meet the challenges of interdisciplinarity and social space ? How do our disciplines of research, creation and social intervention revisit the historical motive for exploration and what relationship do they have with it ?

From Observation to Text, from Text to Culture
Two Paths of Semiotics?
Dans ce colloque, nous entendons nous concentrer sur les outils d’analyse de la sémiotique et des disciplines sociales suivant deux directions complémentaires : (I) de l’observation au texte et (II) du texte à la culture. Dans le volet (I), nous entendons nous concentrer sur ce qui se passe durant la captation et l’inscription du sens en fonction de l’observation et l’interaction vécue, mais aussi à travers les notations, transcriptions et pré-analyses produites au cours de cette observation. Il s’agira de nous demander en quoi l’observation et la participation du chercheur peuvent contribuer à façonner les objets culturels. Dans le volet (II), la question que nous voudrions poser concerne le parcours qui conduit du texte à la culture. Ici, il ne s’agira pas forcément d’enregistrer sa propre expérience in vivo et de l’analyser en cours de construction du texte, mais de s’arrêter sur les moyens possédés par le chercheur pour prendre pour objet d’analyse un élément aussi large que la culture. -

Tartu
Conference, symposium - Ethnology, anthropology
Anthropologie et sémiotique des camps et des déportations
L´expérience et la narration
Dans ce colloque on entend mettre l´accent sur des éléments centraux tels que : le rapport entre l’expérience (insaisissable en soi) et la narration (une forme de codification qui se dépose dans l’écrit, le visuel, le filmique, etc.), l’acte de parole individuelle et la représentation d’une collectivité, l’impersonnalité de la narration transparente et objective et la charge des émotions et de la souffrance, la communication des faits vécus et l’indicibilité du mal, la perte et la récupération de l’identité individuelle du narrateur-témoin, le rôle joué par le filtre de la mémoire, les lieux stratégiques des récits des camps (par ex. l’incipit et l’excipit) et la spécificité de la matière narrative, etc. La codification sémiotique des événements est évidemment importante afin de saisir le cours même de l’histoire. Du point de vue anthropologique, la question centrale est de réfléchir sur la manière dont les formes d’humanité (et de non-humanité) sont conçues, hiérarchisées, imposées, tolérées.
