Meeting Description:
Personal Identity through a Language Lens
20 - 22 May 2010
University of ?ód?, Poland
Institute of English Studies
Chair of Semantics and Linguistic Semiotics
Reflecting upon their identity, people are faced with a paradox of staying the
same by continuously changing. To resolve this paradox they need to look at
identity from two seemingly contrastive, yet compatible and complementary
perspectives. Firstly, many philosophers, since John Locke, have sought the
basis of personal identity in the mind: in our psychological continuity over
time, mediated by memory. However, more recently, some scholars, philosophers
and psychologists alike, have emphasised the role played by the physical
continuity of the body. While each approach captures some aspects of identity,
neither gets to the heart of the matter. What is more, the role of language in
the process of identity creation remains at best a secondary concern, not a
focused goal of the field. In accordance with this research focus, the
conference will aim at exploring identity as constituted in and represented by
linguistic interaction. The need for such an approach has become apparent in
recent years; as linguistic research on identity has become increasingly central
within sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse analysis, and social
psychology the concomitant development of linguistic approaches to identity has
been neglected.
The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars of varied disciplines to
explore the issue from a range of perspectives. By applying a variety of
analytical tools and concepts, contributors will hopefully show how people
construct images of themselves through language, how they shape, perform and
re-shape their personal identities within and across local and dominant
discourses and finally how language resources are selected and used to perform
desirable versions of identities.
