Call for Papers Book 2.0, Volume 9 Issue 1
Special issue: Resurgence of Indigenous languages and cultures
The United Nations has designated 2019 the ‘International Year of
Indigenous Languages’ to recognize the central role that languages play in
the daily lives of people; not only as a tool for communication, education,
social integration and development, but also as repository of each person’s
unique identity, cultural history, traditions and memory.
Book 2.0 is an international, peer-reviewed journal concerned with the
future and traditions of publishing, book production, writing,
illustration, and all the ways in which cultures develop and are
disseminated by both physical and digital means. The next issue will
support and celebrate the United Nations Year of Indigenous Languages with
a special issue on the resurgence of Indigenous languages and cultures,
with a particular focus on the efforts of Indigenous communities to reclaim
their cultures and languages, the support offered by allies, scholarly
partners, publishers and others, and the history of resistance to colonial
thinking and practices. This special issue is scheduled for
publication in *Summer
2019*.
Contributions are invited from scholars, authors, poets, illustrators,
filmmakers, publishers, social and political activists and others who work
to uplift and recognize the unique contribution that Indigenous languages
make to our world’s rich cultural diversity.
A sample past issue of Book 2.0 is available for free online at
https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/intellect/btwo/2014/00000004/f0020001
and
the special issue on Indigenous languages will be made free to read one
year after the publication of the print copy to ensure wide dissemination.
This issue will be edited jointly by Mark Turin, Associate Professor
Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, joint-founder of the
Digital Himalaya Project, Director of the World Literature Project and
pastchair of the First Nations and Endangered Languages Program; and Mick
Gowar, Principal Editor of Book 2.0.
