CLUP’23:
Biennial Conference of the Centre of Linguistics of the University of Porto
on the theme of
‘Identity, memory, heritage and diversity: Understanding the role of Portuguese in the world’
2 – 4 Novembre 2023, Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto
Europe is characterised by the diversity of peoples (including ethnic minorities), traditions, cultures, and national and regional identities which, as a whole, entail different levels of social (and, consequently, economic) development. The mobility of citizens, migration and the media contribute to this diversity. In the case of Portugal, this diversity is further amplified by its relationship with Portuguese-speaking countries and by the heritage and cultural diversity brought by these diverse peoples. The linguistic dimension, which, on the one hand, links Europe to non-European Portuguese-speaking countries through Portugal and, on the other hand, serves as a translational link to other languages and cultures, notably European, is therefore of particular relevance in the European context. However, even though the European Union underlines that this diversity and the opportunities that it brings, pillars of the ‘European Project’, should be recognized and encouraged, diversity, including linguistic, raises several social challenges, including iniquity and social inequalities. The Biennial Conference of the Centre of Linguistics of the University of Porto, on the theme of ‘Identity, memory, heritage and diversity: Understanding the role of Portuguese in the world’, aims to contribute to the understanding of the role of Portuguese in Europe and in the world, and investigate its interaction with other languages. Additionally, the conference aims to discuss its influence on heritage, memory, identity, integration and translation and linguistic and cultural interaction, so as to contribute to promoting inclusive, egalitarian, equitable and sustainable societies, in full respect for diversity.
