De-localising Dialect

“去本地化方言”（DLD）是一个跨学科的研究网络，国际学者，艺术家，评论家，语言学家和作家。其目的是为方言语言艺术开发新的创造性和批判性实践，重点是方言与地理位置和社会根源的深刻联系。该网络将解决有关方言的定位性质的先入为主的观念（即方言不能作为关键语言“旅行”，而是只能在特定的本地化实例中有意义地出现），并挑战方言“在历史上被贬低和边缘化，特别是在教育环境中，作为语言标准化意识形态的核心部分”（艾哈迈德：2011）。DLD与当前AHRC的主题“翻译文化”保持一致，积极参与主题的第一个关键战略目标，“发展翻译本质的知识，这是一个跨越不同语言，文化，世代，媒体，流派和部门的过程。这使得我们能够特别强调对翻译的文化动力的探索，以及对翻译与其他解释、传递、模仿、转换和交流过程的独特性的分析。”该网络将从2018年4月开始运行12个月。我们将在12个月内举行三次会议。每个网络活动将由P-I和Co-I领导，来自艺术，文学和社会语言学的跨学科领域的三位受邀演讲者-并将在三个不同的非学术地点举行，如下：共同协会，格拉斯哥大都会艺术中心，贝尔法斯特大英图书馆，伦敦网络活动将采用多学科方法。三个讲习班中的每一个都将以三个学科领域之一（即艺术、文学、社会语言学）的主要方法论为起点，并将其应用于一个选定的研究项目（可能是艺术作品、文本、录音）。来自该领域的专家演讲者将领导一个基于实践的讲习班，使参与者掌握这种方法，从而分享知识和实用的研究方法。这一过程将被记录下来，沿着，相关的额外材料将通过项目网站提供。每次研讨会都将以视频形式记录，这些文件将在网站上提供（通过Vimeo），以便使研讨会的方法过程对其他用户群体可见和有用。通过网站和合作伙伴组织的相关电子邮件，以可访问的方式获取调查结果。虽然研讨会的与会者将由客座演讲者和当地研究人员组成，但所有网络成员将在为期一年的项目中保持联系：这将由PI和Co-I促进。

'De-localising Dialect' (DLD) is an interdisciplinary research network of international academics, artists, critics, linguists and writers. Its aim is to develop new creative and critical practices for and about vernacular language art, with a focus on dialect viewed and deployed against its own deep associations with geographic locality and social rootedness. The network will address pre-conceived notions about the sited nature of dialect (i.e. that dialect cannot 'travel' as critical language but instead may only occur meaningfully in specific localised instances), and challenge how dialect "has been historically devalued and marginalised, especially in educational settings, as a central part of an ideology of language standardisation" (Ahmad: 2011). DLD is aligned with the current AHRC theme of 'Translating Cultures', actively engaging with the theme's first key strategic objective, "to develop knowledge of the nature of translation as a process that occurs across different languages, cultures, generations, media, genres and sectors. This permits in particular an emphasis on exploration of the cultural dynamics of translation, as well as on analysis of its distinctiveness in relation to other processes of interpretation, transfer, imitation, transformation and exchange".The network will run for 12 months, starting in April 2018. We will meet on three occasions across the 12-month period. Each network event will be led by the P-I and the Co-I, with three invited speakers from each of the interdisciplinary fields of art, literature and sociolinguistics - and will take place in three different non-academic locations, as follows:The Common Guild, GlasgowThe Metropolitan Arts Centre, BelfastThe British Library, LondonThe network activities will employ a multi-disciplinary methodology. Each of the three workshops will take as its starting point the main methodological approach of one of the three disciplinary fields (i.e. art, literature, sociolinguistics) and apply it to one chosen item of study (which might be an art work, a text, a sound recording). The expert speaker from that field will lead a practice-based workshop which will equip participants in this method, thereby sharing knowledge and practical research methods. This process will be recorded, along with relevant additional materials will be made available via the project's website. Each workshop will be documented in video form and these files will be made available on the website (via Vimeo), so that the methodological processes of the workshop is made visible and utile for other user-groups. The findings in an accessible manner, through the website and associated -emailouts from the partner organisations.Whilst the workshop attendees will be comprised of guest speakers and locally-based researchers, all network members will be in continued contact across the year-long project: this will be facilitated by the PI and Co-I.
