Competition: Visual Representations of Multilingualism

AwardsCompetition for visual representations of multilingualism. Deadline: 29 March 2019.

BAAL (British Association for Applied Linguistics) is looking for applied linguists and visual artists to submit visual representations of multilingualism as part of an international competition.

This competition aims to provide a creative opportunity to explore new ways of representing multilingualism through visual means and to stimulate debate and raise awareness about innovative ways of thinking about multilingualism.

Multilingualism has often failed to be represented, or – when it has been represented – this has been done through the co-presence of a select number of languages. However, this raises the question of which languages are represented and why, while recent research about multilingual practices, for example translanguaging, has questioned traditional views of languages as discrete systems. This research has also highlighted the multilingual language user’s capacity to create an apparently seamless flow between named languages and language varieties to achieve effective and meaningful communication in everyday social interaction.

BAAL’s interests are in how applied linguists and artists represent these new ways of thinking about multilingualism creatively and visually and how these images communicate the message about dynamic multilingualism to the public. The competition is open to artists, designers and/or applied linguists working in a range of 2D practices, including, but not limited to: drawing, painting, illustration, graphic design, collage, digital, photography, etc. Sculptural/relief works presented in a 2D format will also be accepted.  Collaborations between artists and applied linguists, and submissions from students of all levels are particularly welcome.

Originality of the contribution, whether theoretical or empirical, will be given special weight.

Entries can be unpublished manuscripts, in press papers, book chapters, or journal articles published no more than 18 months prior to the submission deadline. Entries cannot be returned. Submissions from across the social sciences are encouraged, however the paper must clearly demonstrate its relevance for psychological theory and research in the domain of intercultural and international relations. The competition is open to non-members, as well as members of SPSSI, and graduate students are especially urged to submit papers.

What Does Peace Look Like?

Applied ICDIn a surprisingly close parallel to the Center for Intercultural Dialogue’s video competition question, What does intercultural dialogue look like?, it turns out that Everyday Peace Indicators is running a photography contest, asking What does peace look like? Please participate in their event, but remember to participate in ours as well!

“The Everyday Peace Indicators project invites you to post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pictures of everyday peace in your own life. These #everydaypeacepics would be scenes from your daily life (home, family, work, commute, college, neighbourhood). The pictures could be of a family scene that indicates serenity, or perhaps – depending on location – a defunct security installation that indicates a post-conflict situation, or anything you use in your daily life to determine that you are more or less at peace. Tag photos with the hashtag #everydaypeacepics so we can see them, and we’ll contact the finalists to send us copies of their photos to be posted on everydaypeaceindicators.org (you will retain copyright of your picture and all pictures will be acknowledged).

If you can, please add a description and location of the picture when you post it, explaining why the scene means everyday peace to you. The closing date for pictures is 1 March and the best picture – as judged by the EPI team – will win a copy of Roger Mac Ginty’s International Peacebuilding and Local Resistance book and Pamina Firchow’s forthcoming Reclaiming Everyday Peace: Local Voices in the Politics of Measurement and Evaluation after War book.”
