UnboundedPolitics of identity are central to language change. Here, linguistic boundaries rise and fall, motivating the ephemeral characteristics of language communities. The Mediterranean and European region is one replete with histories, with power struggles, uniquely demarcating nation, ethnicity, and community. For this, cultural and political identities, language ideologies, as well as the languages themselves, have sought boundedness, dynamics of which have indeed sought change over eons, through demographic movements, through geopolitics, through technological innovation. In a current era of technological advancement, transnational fluidity, intellectual power, capitalism, and new sexualities, then, we question, once again, the boundedness of language and identity, and ways in which to unbound languages and ideologies. More than before, we now increasingly pursue anthropological toil, so to innovate ways to locate these ideologies and their fluid boundaries, actively. We now need to increasingly unbind these languages, and their ideologies, so to arrive at progressive realizations, and to rectify, or at least see and move past, the segregations of old.The COMELA 2020 theme, “Bounded languages… Unbounded”, encapsulates the ongoing struggle throughout Mediterranean and European regions. As the continuous tension between demarcation, and the concurrent legitimization, of languages, language ideologies, and language identities, enters an era where new modes of interactivity require language communities to take on roles super-ordinate to the past, flexible citizenship now operates within, and not only across, language communities, to unbind languages, and to create new boundaries, unlike those ever seen throughout history.The COMELA 2020 invites work which addresses the shifting boundedness of Language Communities of the Mediterranean and Europe. Papers and posters should acknowledge and describe processes of language shape, change, and ideology, pertinent to social, cultural, political histories, and futures of Mediterranean and European regions, and by those working in Mediterranean and European regions.Presentation lengthsColloquia – 1.5 hours with 3-5 contributors (Parts A and B are possible, thus 6-10 contributors)General paper sessions – Approx. 20-25 minutes each, including 5 mins for questions/responsesPosters – to be displayed at designated times throughout the COMELA 2020Submission Guidelines (via the online submission website, or by email (see below))General session papers- 18-word maximum title- 400-word maximum abstract, including referencesColloquia- Submission of only the main abstract for colloquium required- Abstract must contain the colloquium main description, and a summary of each individual paper within the colloquiumEvaluation of proposals- All abstracts for general sessions will be double blind reviewed.- Main parent abstracts for colloquia will be double blind reviewed.
