Hate Speech in Asia: Challenges and Solutions

Bangkokissa järjestetään kesällä 2020 tapahtuma, jossa käydään läpi Aasiassa esiintyvää vihapuhetta. Tapahtumassa on tarkoitus käydä läpi vihapuhetta ja sen ilmenemistä todistelähteisesti ja ratkaisupainotteisesti. Teemoina on mm. jumalanpilkka, harmonia eri uskontojen ja kansallisuuksien välillä, poliittinen vihapuhe ja paljon muuta. Kolmipäiväisen konferenssin tavoitteena tuoda yhteen kyseisen aiheen tutkijat, käydä dialogia vihapuhevastaisesta lainsäädännöstä ja arvioida vihapuheen vaikutusta demokratiaan, sananvapautee, ihmisoikeuksiin ja oikeusvaltioon. Tapahtumaan on mahdollista vielä osallistua!

Call for Papers: Affect in Language
University of Helsinki 2/2/2018

The research community Comparing and Contrasting Languages and Cultures (CoCoLaC) of the University of Helsinki is hosting a colloquium on affect in language on Friday, February 2, 2018. We invite 20-minute presentations in English addressing affect in language from a wide variety of perspectives.

We welcome both theoretical reflections and empirical studies of spoken, written, bodily, and multimodal communication. Potential research questions include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • What is the role of affect in contemporary linguistics and adjacent fields?
  • Which theories or methods are useful in conceptualizing affect in language use?
  • How does modern communication technology contribute either to communicating affect or analyzing affect-related phenomena?
  • How do accounts of affect focusing on individual subjectivities differ from intersubjective approaches?
  • What are the links between affect and empathy, ethos, or pathos?
  • What are the characteristics of affect in multilingual settings?
  • To what extent is the expression of affect culturally and linguistically dependent?
  • How does the expression of affect differ between institutional and everyday language use?
  • What are the particularities of expressing affect in a second/foreign language?

We invite authors to submit their abstract (max. 300 words including references) in Word or RTF format to tuuli.holttinen [at] helsinki.fi by October 31, 2017. In the body of your message, please indicate your name and affiliation. Do not include this information in your abstract. The results of the peer-review process will be communicated by November 15, 2017.
