(Português) Annual Conference of the International Association for the Integrationist Study of Language and Communication – 15-20 DE MARÇO, 2021

(Português) Objectives of IAISLC 2020-2021

 The main objective of the conference is to contribute to the further development of the integrationist perspective through critical dialogue with other approaches to language and communication. A secondary  objective is to explore the interdisciplinary applications and implications of integrationism for diverse regions of the world, with or without a history of colonialism. The conference will therefore invite discussion and evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the contribution of integrationist scholarship in relation to other frameworks, including sociocultural theory, critical discourse analysis, ethnomethodology and language ideology. By subjecting integrationism itself to critical analysis and evaluation, we hope to address the main question of IAISLC 2019: How far can integrationism help us in the task of “academically decolonizing traditional sociolinguistics?”

A third objective is to explore the extent to which integrationism can capture the multifaceted and contradictory linguistic experiences of people on the margins of society whose communicational practices have not so far been a focus for integrationistic thinking. In doing so, we wish to discuss how to best create a partnership with the Global South and with communities that were previously marginalized in the collaborative work of building and extending the relevance and reach of integrationism as a radically critical communicational philosophy.

Abstract:

This project addresses the historical process of construction of Indigenous and African languages in the Brazilian and African contexts. For doino so, the project articulates socio-history of Indigenous (Guarani) and African (Kimbundu and Kikongo) languages with language policy and planning. The project seeks to understand the colonial and post-colonial processes that helped to shape an idea of language (Portuguese, African, indigenous, Afro-Brazilian). The focus is how colonial Lusophony used Portuguese as a political tool to impose specific modes of government and control. We also analyse post-colonial language policies related to those contexts. We focus on the historical relationship berween Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and East Timor. Furthermore, we aim at mapping the concepts of orality – in relation to the notions of memory, tradition, body and oral literature – in order to understand the way orality integrates language practices, especially in Brazil, helping to define what counts as Brazilian popular Portuguese. Our main theoretical reference is based on a critical perspective (Ashraf, Makoni e Severo, 2020; Severo e Makoni, 2015; Zwartjes, 2011; Altman, 2011; Deumert, 2010; Irvine, 2008; Mariani, 2006; Zwartjes e Altman, 2005; Makoni e Meinhof, 2004; Freire e Rosa, 2003; Errington, 2001; Fardon e Furniss, 1993, Phillipson, 1992).
