Languaging Diversity and Identity in Digital Environments
Category: Event
Digital environments have become crucial environments where linguistic diversity and cultural identities are negotiated, reshaped, and performed. This conference intends to examine how language use, literary expressions, and cultural practices contribute to identity formation, social belonging, and exclusion online. We particularly encourage contributions that address the role of social media, digital platforms, and audiovisual translation (AVT) in mediating these processes. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Multilingualism and translanguaging in digital discourse • Digital vernaculars and emerging linguistic practices • Code-switching, slang, and online identity construction • The impact of AVT on cultural representation in social media content • Professional and non-professional AVT practices in online platforms • Memes, GIFs, and the role of translation in digital culture • Accessibility and inclusion in AVT for online audiences • Literary representations of online identities • Digital storytelling and multilingual narratives • Fanfiction, social media poetry, and participatory literature • Diversity and inclusion in digital media • Language technology and techno-linguistic biases • Translanguaging and identity formation in digital spaces
