Seeking panelists~~
I invite participants for a panel on anarchism and language at the Society for Linguistic Anthropology meeting in Chicago, May 2025. Please write me by Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov 26/27) if you are interested, and we can work on abstracts in advance of the December 6 deadline.
Recently James Slotta ("Anarchy and the Art of Listening," 2023) and others have begun to apply a notion of anarchism in linguistic anthropology. Anarchism may offer a promising new area, e.g. in connection with themes of listening and intelligibility. In my recent work I have found that anarchism leads toward a novel critique of language standardization.
Anarchism has multiple meanings, including horizontal, non-hierarchical social organization; diverse political practices of stateless societies; and, a specific modern libertarian socialist tradition. Presentations for this panel are welcome to approach anarchism as an object of study, a method of research practice, and/or as a theoretical framework. This panel is intended to help the field of linguistic anthropology make greater use of anarchism as method and theory. Exploratory and experimental presentations are welcome.
