Hi AnthroMobbers! I'm delighted to share this invitation to a symposium that I am organizing = with my colleagues from the COLLAB research team in Leuven next month on "P= olyphony and Silence: Counter-hegemonic writing practices, migration, and m= ultilingualism." All the best, Sonja

[cid:fffbcd84-8243-403d-ba0e-b0a2cbed2293] The COLLAB research team at KU Leuven is delighted to invite you to our upc= oming symposium on 15-16 May, "Polyphony and Silence: Counter-hegemonic wri= ting practices, migration, and multilingualism."

Polyphony and silence are concepts that refer to sonority and voice, as mul= titude or as absence. While they may seem to be in opposition to each other= , both can be counter-hegemonic tools for writing against monolingual and e= thno-nationalist imaginaries =96 in political movements, in literature and = the arts, in institutions, in media, and in everyday life. We use the conce= pt of polyphony to highlight the political significance of maintaining diff= erence in unity, and silence to emphasize the importance of omitting, refus= ing, and listening.

The symposium will feature a keynote address by Shahram Khosravi, Professor= of Anthropology at Stockholm University, a roundtable with organizations a= nd collectives from different European cities (En Palabras, Exiled Writers Ink, The Poetr= y Project, The Post Collective), and optional interactive workshops by Brussels-ba= sed art collectives Klankvangers and The Post Collective.

The symposium is free and open to the public, and will take place in the Le= uven STUK House for Dance, Image and Sound. You can find more information, = including the program and registration link, on our website.
