The SOAS GLOCAL will always endorse meritocracy, and refuses to adopt systems that require the implementation of paid fees for publishing. The SOAS GLOCAL sources funding and grants from funding bodies, to assist those scholars who require funding to access Linguistic Cultural Anthropology, and related fields, and who display exceptional talent in their fields. 2 The (SCOPUS / ISI) SOAS GLOCAL African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023 UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI, KENYA AFALA-BRATION The African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023, the (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA, at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, symbolizes a significant leap forward for Linguistic Anthropology, from the previous highly successfully attended GLOCAL conferences, to further problematize current perspectives and praxis in the fields of African Linguistic Cultural Anthropology, African Linguistics, and African Society. A FA 2.0 LA 2.3 The University of Nairobi, hosting the GLOCAL AFALA in 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya, constitutes one of an interchanging series of annual hosts, and in this way, the GLOCAL global network expands to involve institutions worldwide. We thus welcome you to the (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA 2023, the 2023 Annual African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology, and to the AFALA in general. Conceptualized in the year 1998, the GLOCAL AFALA and its 2023 assembly responds to concerns by those within Linguistics and Anthropology, Sociolinguistics, Sociology, Cultural studies, and centrally, Linguistic Anthropology, pertinent to Africa, in order to reduce the gap between a focus on African regions and work by African scholars, a gap largely emanating from issues of funding and expertise. The GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will build on these efforts, and on the global networks for African Linguistic Anthropology, to connect African with global Universities and their academics. Professor W. Onyango-Ouma Chair Director, Institute of Anthropology, Gender and African Studies University of Nairobi The (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will increasingly opportune academics to exchange knowledge, expertise, and valuable Linguistic and Anthropological data, through the interpersonal and inter-institutional networks that the GLOCAL conferences build. To ground these efforts, the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 Conference, with the University of Nairobi at the centre, and with major University partner and co host SOAS, the School of Oriental and African Studies, at the University of London, will network a growing number of institutions globally, to support this much needed African yet fully global project. With all stringently reviewed papers SCOPUS / ISI indexed, and published in high impact Journal Publications, the theme for the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 is Linguistic Landscapes, Cultural Climates, a theme pertinent to the current state of many African regions and countries visa-vis their global analogues. 3 The (SCOPUS / ISI) SOAS GLOCAL African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023 UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI, KENYA CONFERENCE THEME Linguistic Landscapes, Cultural Climates Mazingira Ya Lugha, Hali Ya Hewa Ya Kitamaduni A FA 2.0 LA 2.3 The (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA 2023 thus invites work that addresses the complexity of African linguistic landscapes and their cultural climates. Papers and posters should acknowledge and describe processes of linguistic complexity at these African cultural centres, and by those scholars working on African cultural centres. The framing of both language and speech community within particular geographical and cultural localities, and within the boundaries of tradition and heritage, is always an arduous task. This is intensified in African contexts, where language and cultural mixing and switching are normative if not common practices, as processes vital to African politics of identity. A continuous re-stylizing of previous language practices then, mediates the cultural practices of new generations, while this re-stylizing becomes complexified by new and intensified mobilities, technologies, return migrations, multimodalities, by (continuously) rewritten historiographies, by colonized and decolonized ideologies, innovative scholarly work, and so forth. The overlapping of the channels of this stylizing can be understood anthropologically, through a lens of cultural scapes and climates, where emergent communities identify with and grow from existing cultural patterns and cultural subjectivities. To facilitate this process in African regions, much language and cultural mixing and switching occurs as normative practice. Concurrently, the complexity of society in (sub)urban Africa makes for an infinitely fertile context for ethnography of language and culture, thus supplementing knowledge of the linguistic landscapes of African regions. The GLOCAL AFALA 2023 theme, Linguistic Landscapes, Cultural Climates, Mazingira Ya Lugha, Hali Ya Hewa Ya Kitamaduni, well symbolizes the complexity of the set of intersubjective identities throughout African urban and suburban centres. These complex climates are a fertile ground for Linguistic Anthropological attention, while scholars can draw from a range of peripheral yet pertinent fields, to work on these geographic and cultural localities. 4 The (SCOPUS / ISI) SOAS GLOCAL African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023 UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI, KENYA 2.3 THEME STRANDS DESCRIPTION A FA 2.0 LA SELECTION Anthropological Linguistics Applied and Theoretical Sociolinguistics Buddhism Discourses Christianity Discourses Cognitive Anthropology and Language Communication Anthropology Conversation Analysis Critical Linguistic Anthropology Debating Prominent Linguistic Anthropologists Discourse Analysis Ethnographical Language Work Ethnography of Communication Folklore and Language Interdisciplinarity in Linguistic Anthropology Interfaith Dialogue Islam Discourses Language and Spatiotemporal Frames Language, Community, Ethnicity Language Contact and Change Language, Dialect, Sociolect, Genre Language Documentation Language Endangerment Language, Gender, Sexuality Language Ideologies Language in Real and Virtual Spaces Language Materiality Language Minorities and Majorities Language Revitalization Language Socialization Materiality / Materialism in Linguistic Anthropology Methodology in Cultural Anthropology Methodology in Linguistic Anthropology Multifunctionality Multimodality Narrative and Metanarrative Non-verbal Semiotics Oral Tradition Poetics and Performativity Political Discourse Anthropology Pragmatics Post-Structuralism and Language (Oral and Non-Oral) Semiotics and Semiology Social Psychology of Language Sociolinguistics Text, Context, Entextualization The Anthropology of Education Time and Space While the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 strands are guiding in that the conference participants can categorize their work within one (or more) of the strands, the conference organizers encourage submissions that cut across these strands and which transgress current boundaries of the SOAS GLOCAL conferences. While the strands emphasize Anthropology, Linguistics, and other fields such as Discourse Studeies, Cultural Studies, and Semiotics, the SOAS GLOCAL encourages a continuous reversion to the Anthropological qualities of language, that is, the observation and understanding of language in a complex ecological environment within which the Anthropos functions and interacts. While this work is predomniantly field based, Linguistic Anthropology should not shun armchair theorists whose work contributes a great deal to the scholarship of Linguistic Anthropology. These many strands address field-based and theoretical Linguistic Anthropology, both of which contribute significantly to a larger understanding of Linguistic Anthropolgy. Work on these strands will push the boundaries of current practices in Linguistic Anthropology, while also recentering and reappropriating eclectic work in traditional Linguistic Anthropology, thus forming a tension between normative and expansive notions of Linguistic Cultural Anthropology. 5 The (SCOPUS / ISI) SOAS GLOCAL African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023 UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI, KENYA A FA 2.0 LA 2.3 CHRONOTOPE SUBMISSION LOCATION DESCRIPTION Abstract Submission Opens: October 20, 2022 The GLOCAL will be held at the University of Nairobi, Kenya.

Presentation times will be 25 minutes, with five minutes of interaction time following each presentation. Potential participants will only submit an abstract for review and presentation, where full papers are required only after the conference, for publication in the proceedings book. The SOAS GLOCAL talks include the Keynote talks, talks by linguists and cultural experts, as well as those with knowledge of local contexts. These talks are also given by publishing companies, and bodies and organizations with work relevant to Linguistic Cultural Anthropology. COLLOQUIA The Anthropological excursion will include a guided tour and discussion of a location of significance to African Anthropology. More information will be provided on these options for this at a time closer to the conference. The website will provide all updates on the Anthropological excursion. ANTHROPOLOGICAL EXCURSION Each colloquium will house several papers grouped into one theme, and which all respond to one particular question, though in complex and varied ways. The colloquium organizer will manage the time lengths of each paper, though these are usually 25 minutes in length each, followed by five minutes of interaction with attendees. Here, only the main abstract must be submitted for review, and all individual papers will be accepted upon acceptance of the main colloquium abstract. Full papers by each participant are required only after the conference, for publication in the proceedings book. CULTURAL PERFORMANCES Cultural performances at the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will be throughout the conference, during breaks, at the opening and closing ceremonies, and during the dinner, when the major performance will be given. These performances are culturally authentic, and seek to provide insights into Kenyan Cultural heritage, while aiming to encourage scholarly and other work on local performance and Linguistic and Anthropological mechanisms. POSTER PRESENTATIONS All posters at the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will be displayed throughout the duration of the conference. Attendees will be able to access the poster display area at all times. However, poster presenters will be available at designated times so as to discuss their work with others, and to respond to questions on their work and research. EXHIBITIONS AND DISPLAYS The SOAS GLOCAL conferences house a plurality of exhibitions during the conferences, including: Endangered Languages Exhibitions Ethnographic Exhibitions Heritage Exhibitions Cultural Exhibitions WORKSHOPS The GLOCAL AFALA workshops are free for all registrants and attendees. These include methodology, publishing strategies, ethnographic methods, and more. Conveners of these workshops include prominent scholars from academic institutions globally.
