| Title | Call for Papers: American Indian Quarterly |
| Body | From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/enews/2004/1123.htm#callfor Deadline: January 15, 2004 The American Indian Quarterly seeks submissions for its forthcoming Special Issue, "Indigenous Languages and Indigenous Literatures." Indigenous languages have reached a point of crisis; few of the 500 Indigenous languages of North America are expected to remain viable into the next century. The threat of language death has coincided with a rise in the use and presence of Indigenous languages in works of the imagination (novels, short stories, essays, poems, and autobiographical works). The urgency of language preservation and the newly emergent and as of yet relatively uninvestigated presence of Indigenous languages in works of the imagination calls for a special issue of AIQ. Topics can include, but are not limited to critical analyses and short commentaries of the following: - The politics and protocol of Indigenous language use. Should writers of fiction be excused from responsibility for proper language use because they write creatively? - The role of language preservation in the community and in the university. - An analysis of how authors use Indigenous languages in their works of fiction. - The role of Indigenous languages in the formation and continuation of identity. - Cultural authenticity and Indigenous languages. - The use and abuse of Indigenous languages. - The rise of language preservation in Indigenous communities.
