2nd Gibraltar International Conference (GIC2)
Gibraltar English: Linguistic, Literary and Cultural Perspectives
The UVigo research group Language Variation and Textual Categorisation (LVTC) and the UIB research project Variation in English Worldwide (ViEW) are pleased to announce the international conference “Gibraltar English: Linguistic, Literary and Cultural Perspectives”, which will take place on 8-9 July 2024 at Edificio Redeiras in Vigo.
In its first edition, at the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2023, this conference was designed to bring together Gibraltarian writers and European academics working on Gibraltarian literary production. The conference papers and discussions brought to light the complex linguistic and cultural aspects of Gibraltar, which are, to this day, underresearched. This sparked the launch of two more editions of the Gibraltar International Conference, to be held at the University of Vigo (2024) and the University of Basel (2025), and to formalise and expand the original focus of the conference.
Thus, the 2nd Gibraltar International Conference will explore the linguistic, literary and cultural diversity of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, i.e., at the crossroads between Europe and Africa.
