🔎 An Interdisciplinary Conference
This conference is aimed at linguists, literary scholars, anthropologists, historians of language, and media specialists working in the world's languages, who wish to explore these issues in all their diversity. It invites a confrontation of different linguistic and literary traditions to reflect on the multiple ways in which orality and writing interact, transform, and reconfigure themselves.
We encourage proposals adopting theoretical, descriptive, or applied approaches, as well as case studies illustrating the plurality of relationships between orality and writing in different languages and cultures.
