CFP Britain, Canada & the Arts (London)

Britain, Canada, and the Arts: Cultural Exchange as Post-war Renewal
15-17 June 2017

CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers are invited for a major international, interdisciplinary conference to be held at Senate House, London, in collaboration with ENCAP (Cardiff University) and the University of Westminster. Coinciding with and celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, this conference will focus on the strong culture of artistic exchange, influence, and dialogue between Canada and Britain, with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on the decades after World War II.

The immediate post-war decades saw both countries look to the arts and cultural institutions as a means to address and redress contemporary post-war realities. Central to the concerns of the moment was the increasing emergence of the United States as a dominant cultural as well as political power. In 1951, the Massey Commission gave formal voice in Canada to a growing instinct, amongst both artists and politicians, simultaneously to recognize a national tradition of cultural excellence and to encourage its development and perpetuation through national institutions. This moment complemented a similar post-war engagement with social and cultural renewal in Britain that was in many respects formalized through the establishment of the Arts Council of Great Britain. It was further developed in the founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Opera, Sadler’s Wells Ballet, the Design Council and later the National Theatre, and in the diversity and expansion of television and
film.

While these various initiatives were often instigated by a strong national if not nationalist instinct, they were also informed by an established dynamic of social, political, and cultural dialogue. In the years before the war, that dynamic had been marked primarily by the prominent, indisputably anglophile voices of such influential Canadians in Britain as Beverly Baxter and Lord Beaverbrook. In English-speaking Canada, an established recognition of Britain as a dominant, if not originating, influence on definitions of cultural excellence continued to predominate. In the years following the war, however, that dynamic was to change, and an increased movement of artists, intellectuals, and artistic policy-makers between the two countries saw the reciprocal development of an emphatically modern, confident, and progressive definition of contemporary cultural activity.

This conference aims to expose and explore the breadth of this exchange of social and cultural ideals, artistic talent, intellectual traditions, and aesthetic formulations. We invite papers from a variety of critical and disciplinary perspectives — and particularly encourage contributions from scholars and practitioners working in theatre, history, literature, politics, music, film and television, cultural studies, design, and visual art.

Some indicative post-war cultural figures and areas of influence:
Henry Moore and the Art Gallery of Ontario
John Grierson at the National Film Board
Leonard Brockington and the CBC
Sydney Newman, Alvin Rakoff and British and Canadian television drama
Tyrone Guthrie, Barry Morse, Tanya Moiseiwitch, Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith, John Neville, Christopher Newton, Robin Phillips, Barry Morse, Brian Bedford, Christopher Plummer, Donald Sutherland, and others: developments in staging, acting, repertoire, and theatre-design at the Stratford Festival, the Shaw Festival, the Old Vic, the Chichester Festival Theatre, the National Theatre
Powys Thomas at the CBC, the Stratford Festival, and the National Theatre School of Canada
Celia Franca, Gweneth Lloyd, and national ballet
Robertson Davies as novelist, actor, cultural critic in Britain and Canada; at the Stratford Festival; at the University of Toronto’s Massey College
Yousuf Karsh and the iconography of the mid-twentieth century
Intellectual exchange and influence: Northrop Frye, Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, John Kenneth Galbraith
Elizabeth Smart and the London literary scene
Ronald Bryden and theatre criticism in London
Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett: Canadian tours and compositions
Glenn Gould as musical interpreter, recording artist, celebrity personality, documentarian
Mordecai Richler, the cultural scene in London, and the dramatization of Anglophone Quebec
Mazo de la Roche and Lucy Maud Montgomery: literary influence and adaptations
Ben Wicks as cartoonist, journalist, and post-war memoirist

Other areas of exploration include (but are certainly not limited to):
Quebec and ‘French Canada’ in the British artistic scene
The cultural presence and influence of the Governor General
Publishers and publishing networks
Newspapers, media magnates, and editorialists from Beaverbrook to Black
Universities and the ‘modernisation’ of higher education
Popular culture and popular music
Cultural policy-making
Traditions of humour and satire
‘Distinct cultures’ within the larger nation
Constructions of indigeneity and native culture
National culture as anti-Americanism
Definitions of diversity, audience, and national identity
Architecture and urban development
More recent and contemporary exchanges in literature, art, politics, theatre, film, design, television, and the media

Proposals (max. 250 words) for papers of 20 minutes can be sent to the organizers, Irene Morra (Cardiff University) and John Wyver (University of Westminster), at canbritconference[at]gmail.com (mailto:canbritconference[at]gmail.com) by 1 November 2016.

CFP Translanguaging: Researchers & Practitioners in Dialogue (Sweden)

Translanguaging – researchers and practitioners in dialogue is a two-day international conference on translanguaging to be hosted by The School of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences (HumUS) at Örebro University, Sweden, on 28 and 29 March, 2017.

Planning information
Abstract submission deadline: 30 November, 2016
Conference registration for all participants: 1 December, 2016
Conference registration deadline: 31 January, 2017

Translanguaging describes both multilingual communication competence and pedagogical practice. The concept highlights the capacity of bi- and multilinguals to make themselves understood and produce nuanced meanings by gliding between languages on the basis of their whole linguistic repertoires. In bilingual education, translanguaging foregrounds a flexible juxtaposition of different ‘languages’ for meaningful learning with others in instructional processes.

Translanguaging has introduced progressive perspectives and theoretical claims which have given distinction to the place of the concept within sociolinguistics, multilingualism and visually-oriented research. Translanguaging theory moves beyond the autonomous linguistic systems of traditional bilingualism and even the view that bilingual performance is supported by the interdependence of two (or more) linguistic systems. It proposes a view of bilingualism as resourced by a single repertoire of language features from which translinguals draw strategically to meet multilingual demands and goals. Bilingual as dual competence is reconceptualized as the capacity to communicate with a single, integrated, set of both signed and spoken language assets. Consonant with this claim, is the notion that multilinguals operate communicatively on the basis of their own idiolects rather than with primary orientation to the structures of named languages which are viewed not as linguistic entities, but as socially and politically defined. Thus translanguaging challenges traditional school practices of assessing communicative proficiency and offers new ways of perceiving and promoting the linguistic and intellectual development of bilingual students.

While translanguaging scholarship multiplies, a growing number of educational leaders and teachers express interest in in the potential pedagogical prospects of translanguaging for content and language integrated learning. However, the development of scholarly thinking has not always lent itself to educational application. Canagarajah (2014), for example, mentions a romanticization of translanguaging and a cognitive, individualistic, orientation to translanguaging competence at the expense of social and interactional issues. Theoretical imbalance, in effect, hinders the pedagogical currency of translanguaging. The conference title emphasizes the vision to bring researchers and practitioners from different educational arenas into dialogue around the opportunities and challenges of translanguaging as enabling both communicative and pedagogical participation in classrooms. The aim is also for participants to engage critically and constructively with the theoretical and methodological challenges arising from the use of translanguaging in multilingual analysis and educational approaches.

Keynote speakers confirmed for the conference are:
• Deborah Chen-Pichler, Linguistics Gallaudet University, USA.
• Maaike Hajer, Dutch language arts and applied linguistics, Nijmegen University, NL.
• Holly Link, Educational Linguistics, University of Pennsylvania, USA.

In addition to the perspectives and inspirations from the keynote speakers, the conference platforms 18 presentation and discussion sessions with the purpose of displaying a variety of current research and educational projects which make strategic use of translanguaging (see Preliminary programme). The sessions are planned as arenas for presentation, discussion and interactive engagement with topics which provide focus on the conference theme.

Abstract submission for these sessions is now open. An abstract of maximum 820 words is required which is structured by a form that you can download here. On completion, this form should be sent to Kicki Ekberg, the conference administrator (kicki.ekberg[at]oru.se). The deadline for submitting abstracts is 31 October, 2016. After this a ‘blind’ two-reviewer procedure will ‘select’ the 18 conference presentations and presenters will be informed about the result of their submission at the end of November or beginning of December.

Each present and discuss session will be allocated 25 minutes. We strongly recommend that you plan a 15-minute presentation to allow for 10 minutes of discussion. Since we are requiring a relatively long abstract, we will not be inviting the selected presenters to submit a longer paper. A longer paper version of your presentation for distribution at the session could be a good strategy for homing rapidly in what is central or crucial in your contribution and supplying further information for those who are interested.
