Linguistic and Literary Sciences

The conference proposes a unified framework that compares two complementary perspectives. The Literature and Media section examines how conflict takes shape in narratives, from classical epics to modern anti-epics and audiovisual representations, focusing on narrative devices and aesthetic strategies that build meaning around wars, crises and traumas. The Linguistics section, on the other hand, considers language as a space of conflict, analyzing how political and media discourses, multilingual practices, language policies and specialized lexicons produce exclusion, resistance or mediation. Tools such as discourse analysis, corpus linguistics and minority language studies allow us to interpret these dynamics. The aim of the conference is to foster a dialogue between the two areas, offering an overview of the forms, languages and cultures of contemporary conflict and showing how narration and language are intertwined in its representation and possible transformation
