SUMMARY:LISO Research Focus Group Talk: John J. Gumperz Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Accent\, Interaction\, and Intimacy on the Autism Spectrum \nKira Hall\nUniversity of Colorado Boulder \nIf intimacy is collaboratively produced in interaction\, as discourse analysts argue\, then how do individuals with atypical interactional behaviors achieve it? This paper addresses a sociolinguistic practice noted for individuals on the autism spectrum but rarely analyzed: the sustained adoption of non-local dialect features. For sociolinguists who view second dialect acquisition as a social achievement importantly related to identity\, this practice presents a paradox: How do individuals with such a purportedly “asocial” syndrome accomplish an activity that is intensely social? To address this question\, the talk draws from data collected by a team of linguists and anthropologists at the University of Colorado Boulder for a multi-year project on accent imitation in the autism spectrum. Focusing on the life narrative of an autistic man raised in Montgomery\, Alabama who has adopted what he characterizes as a “South African Welsh” accent\, the paper suggests that the cultivation of non-local accent enables autistic individuals to achieve the intimacy often precluded by the use of atypical prosody. Bringing together Bourdieu’s work on ‘shared timing’ with recent work on queer time and spatiotemporal scales\, the paper questions fundamental sociolinguistic assumptions about the relationship between place\, dialect\, and speaker subjectivity. \nKira Hall is Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Current President of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology\, she has published on such topics as language and sexuality in India\, Hinglish\, mass hysteria\, embodied sociolinguistics\, and Trump’s use of comedic gesture. In addition to book publications that include Gender Articulated (with Mary Bucholtz\, Routledge 1995)\, Queerly Phrased (with Anna Livia\, Oxford 1997)\, Essays in Indian Folk Traditions (Archana 2007)\, and Studies in Inequality and Social Justice (Archana 2009)\, she is coeditor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Language and Sexuality (with Rusty Barrett\, 2021). \nThe John J. Gumperz Memorial Lecture honors the life and work of John J. Gumperz\, the founder of interactional sociolinguistics and a longtime member of the LISO community. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Language\, Interaction\, and Social Organization (LISO) Research Focus Group\, UCSB Departments of Communication\, Linguistics\, and Education

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Voices of Ancient Palmyra: Reflections
DESCRIPTION:“Voices of Ancient Palmyra” began as an online public humanities project that explored how different publics engaged with ancient history and the destruction of ancient objects. The original goal was to encourage people of all ages and education levels to artistically rewrite words from ancient Palmyrene inscriptions\, while learning about the history of the site. Artistic recreations were then uploaded to the website and social media. The project became a museum exhibition at the Fullerton Museum of Art at CSU San Bernardino\, for which local artists created pieces that engaged with and reacted to ancient inscriptions. The project had three different phases or iterations: the digital exhibition\, the physical art exhibition\, and the immersive experience. Each phase had unique complications that arose in the process of bringing various publics\, the museum\, and the academy into conversation. In “Reflections” Maris explores the project’s original goals\, how they changed\, what worked\, and the lessons for future efforts. \nCarly Maris earned her PhD in Ancient History from UC Riverside in 2019. Her primary research explores Roman-Persian relations\, and she is currently writing an article on a coin honoring Mark Antony that was minted in Syria. Dr. Maris also works as a Public Historian\, and was recognized as a Mellon Public Fellow in 2016. In the summer of 2019\, Dr. Maris co-curated an exhibition at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art on ancient writings in Palmyra\, for which she won the Society for Classical Studies ‘Classics Everywhere’ award. She currently teaches history courses at UC Riverside and CSU San Bernardino. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group
