Assembly

As part of the “Causerie and Effect” program, the two-day assembly focuses on discursive interventions and lecture-performances formats. While the first day interrogates dialects and regionalisms—languages shaped beyond the confines of the national tongue— the second examines language as a form of collective endeavours, often shaped, spoken, written in the margins as a means of reclaiming a shared space. Bringing together poets, artists, writers, and researchers, the assembly investigates how language emerges from experiences and  challenges fixed narratives and cultural homogenization. Here, in the murmurs of conversations, in the echoes of oral traditions, spoken and written words find new forms of resistance and belonging.
