Workshop "Personennamen in Migration"

 Link

Internationale Tagung am Germanistischen Institut am 1. und 2. Juni / Anmeldung bis Samstag, 20. Mai 



Schülerinnen und Schüler wie Kevin und Chantal werden tendenziell schlechter bewertet als Maximilian und Charlotte. Im Kontext von Migrationsgeschichten markieren Namenswechsel, etwa aufgrund erfahrener Diskriminierung, eine Zäsur und mitunter einen Identitätswechsel. Diese Beispiele zeigen: Personennamen sind weit mehr als Bezeichnungen, um Individuen voneinander zu unterscheiden. Sie implizieren zugleich soziale Kategorien – etwa Gender und Generation, aber auch Religion, soziale Herkunft und ethnische Zugehörigkeit. Damit kann der Name zu Prestige oder Stigmatisierung führen und Auslöser für Diskriminierung und soziale Ungleichheit sein.

Der Workshop "Personennamen in Migration: Onymische Indizes hybrider sozialer Zugehörigkeiten" am Germanistischen Institut der Universität Münster bringt am 1. und 2. Juni 2023 zu diesem Thema erstmals europäische Sprachwissenschaftlerinnen und Sprachwissenschaftler zusammen, organisiert von den Linguistinnen Prof. Dr. Antje Dammel, Dr. Katharina König und Dr. Theresa Schweden. Er widmet sich sozioonomastischen, variationslinguistischen und kulturanalytisch-linguistischen Fragestellungen. Ziel ist, neben der internationalen Vernetzung der Forschenden, die Entwicklung einer einheitlichen Methodologie. Der Workshop wird gefördert durch den Internationalisierungsfonds des Fachbereichs Philologie und den WWU-Internationalisierungsfonds.

Veranstaltungsorte sind die Räume VSH 116 und 118 am Schlossplatz 34, 48143 Münster. Interessierte können sich noch bis Samstag, 20. Mai, per E-Mail an schweden@uni-muenster.de anmelden.

Teaching Names in School History

 

ANS 2023, January 21, 2023 "Teaching Names in School History: A Decolonial Possibility for the Zambian Society" by Chanda Penda (University of Zambia), Yvonne Malambo Kabombwe (University of Zambia), & Martha Kayuni (University of Zambia) Education in the colonial period concentrated on narratives of great men in society and the history of ordinary men and women were neglected. This paper proposes the study of names (anthroponyms) of ordinary men and women in the school history curriculum in Zambia as a way of countering the teaching of narratives of great men in the postcolonial period and promoting “history from below”. This study will be guided by the decolonial theory and paradigm. The study will use the qualitative approach methodology and the historical research design will be used in this study. The study will purposively sample five names of the ordinary men and women who made a great contribution in Zambia but their contribution is missing in the school history curriculum these people include Alick Nkhata, Maina Soko, Nakatindi Yeta Nganga, Zanco Mpundu Mutembo and Levabhai “Kanjombe” Patel. The data will be collected using the archival method and interviews and analysed using content analysis to show the contribution of these ordinary men and women. Recommendations will be given based on findings of the study. CHANDA PENDA is an Onomastician, Cultural Heritage specialist and founder/series editor of Encyclopedia of Zambian Names™, a serial publication since January 2011. Chanda teaches Intangible Cultural Heritage at the University of Zambia and has presented papers at several conferences. His current emphasis is on promotion of indigenous heritage through names. YVONNE MALAMBO KABOMBWE teaches History Teaching methods at the University of Zambia. She has published several articles on curriculum implementation in Zambia. She is currently a PhD student at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa. Her research interests are in History, History Education, Curriculum Development and Implementation.

Poland reverts to historic name for Russia’s Kaliningrad

 link 

The Commission on Geographical Names Standardisation Outside of Poland, which operates under the country's main geodetic service, has decided to no longer call the Russian city of Kaliningrad by its Russian name, but instead to use the Polish name Królewiec.
According to Rzeczpospolita, the Commission also recommends using the Polish name Królewiecka oblast instead of Kaliningradskaya oblast for the administrative unit where the city is located. It entered into force on May 9, 2023.
It also considered that the current Russian name is artificial and not related to the city or the region. The city is traditionally known in Poland as Królewiec.

Poland is reverting to using its historical name for Kaliningrad, the Russian city and administrative region that sits on its border. The Kremlin has reacted angrily, calling it a "process bordering on insanity". The city was formerly known as Koenigsberg and was renamed Kaliningrad after Mikhail Kalinin, one of the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution. There has been some talk in Russia about changing the city's name back, but there are no plans currently.

Topohodonyms: what are they, why study them, and how to?

 

"Topohodonyms: what are they, why study them, and how to?" by Justyna B. Walkowiak (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland) The objective of my paper is to posit as legitimate objects of onomastic research what I propose to call topohodonyms – the names of streets (and similar urban features, like squares, roundabouts, bridges, etc.) that reference geographical objects, e.g. Oxford Street, Waterloo Bridge, Michigan Avenue, Kongostrasse, Place des Alpes, or Via Trento. Seldom perceived as a separate category in linguistically-culturally oriented, traditional onomastics that appears to prevail in Europe, they are not fully appreciated by critical toponymy either, especially that hodonyms commemorating people seem the more obvious tool of power struggles. Yet their study might offer novel insight into intricate power relations and competing geopolitical narratives that seem ideologyinnocent and therefore frequently go unnoticed, as evidenced by many topohodonyms remaining intact in turbulent times marked by urban renamings. On the other hand, a city's changing hands may, conversely, occasion a radical shift in the foci established by its topohodonyms. Contemporary topohodonyms collectively reflect a city’s imagined geographies, define their location, distance and relationship. They help draw a line between what is “ours”, featured in the cityscape, and what belongs to “the other’ and is therefore ignored. They may form thematic clusters, mirroring national or regional geography; they can also identify the nation’s allies (in the case of streets named for particular countries). Not to be overlooked are hodonyms that stake claims to lost or conquered territories, including “colonial” names. Amply illustrated with examples mostly from Europe, the paper will also offer suggestions for topohodonymic research, employing both descriptive and statistical methods. JUSTYNA WALKOWIAK, Ph.D., Hab., linguist and onomastician, works as Associate Professor at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland. Co-edited four volumes; authored two monographs, two university coursebooks, and over forty journal articles and book chapters.

Metaphorical personal names in Mabia languages of Ghana

 

"Metaphorical personal names in Mabia languages of Ghana" by Hasiyatu Abubakari (University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana) & Samuel Alhassan Issah (University of Education, Winneba, Ghana) Personal names provide a rich inventory of the use of metaphors in names and naming practices among speakers of Mabia (Gur) languages of Ghana. This study examines the use of figurative and non-figurative personal names that express concepts, opinions, world views, and belief systems of speakers of Dagbani, Kusaal, Likpapkaln and Sisali languages. The source domains of these names include flora and fauna terms, innuendos, death preventions names, circumstances surrounding the birth of the name bearer among others. Below is the use of flora and fauna terms for personal names: Names from Kusaal Adoonr [meaning] 'named after the African locust bean tree' Akugur [meaning]'named after a stone' Awaaf [meaning] ‘named after a snake’ The sociocultural and ethnolinguistic factors that influence the use of these names will equally be central to this study. The main research objectives are to (i) identify the various categories of metaphorical names in the four selected Mabia languages (ii) map these names to their respective source domains (iii) examine the sociocultural and ethnolinguistic underpinnings of these metaphorical names by discussing the impact of metaphorical names on both the name bearers and the culture of the people. It will be observed that experiences, belief systems, 'death weapons', flora and fauna, deities, are used as personal names. This work will be carried using both primary and secondary data. The conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff and Johnson 1980, 1993, Croft and Cruse 2004 among others) will be used for the analysis. DR. HASIYATU ABUBAKARI is a Research Fellow at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana. Her research focuses on minority languages and cultures of Northern Ghana. Her interest covers both descriptive and theoretical linguistics in areas including Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Information Structure, Onomastics, Sociolinguistics, folklore, among others. DR. SAMUEL ALHASSAN ISSAH is a Senior Lecturer in linguistics and indigenous languages at the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana. His research focuses on the syntax and literature of Dagbani and related languages. He focuses on information structure, the syntax of anaphoric elements, the expression of negation, among others.

Madonna to Madame X: Naming & Discursive Construction of Identity in Pop Culture

 

ANS 2023, January 21, 2023 "From Madonna to Madame X: Naming and the Discursive Construction of Identity in Pop Culture" by Mirko Casagranda (Università della Calabria, Italy) In the entertainment industry, names play a fundamental role in the representations of the public persona of performers as they function both as identity markers and forms of branding (Lieb 2018). Occasionally their social influence is so pervasive that names are used as paragons of the qualities embodied by the artists bearing them (Bergien 2013). When it comes to music, the names of singers and musicians are sometimes used to give a title to their albums, which results in an overlapping between art and cultural identity (van der Hoeven 2018) that is particularly interesting to investigate. Madonna is a case in point of these practices since throughout her 40-year career she has often played with names not only to identify herself and her music but also to link her manyfold postmodern personae (Guilbert 2002) to the exploration of gender, sexuality, race, politics and religion (Blanco 2014; Schwichtenberg 1993) in a process in which the private and the public inextricably intertwine. Adopting a cultural studies perspective to the analysis of pop music (Clayton 2003; Storey 2010), this presentation focuses on names in Madonna’s production – from the titles of albums like Madonna (1983), I’m Breathless (1990), MDNA (2012), Madame X (2019) to the personifications (like Dita and Veronica Electronica) she employs to mark a shift in the theme of her lyrics or in the genre of her music – so as to demonstrate how she frequently resorts to naming as a productive strategy to construct a broader cultural discourse and disseminate it across the media. MIRKO CASAGRANDA (PhD) is Associate Professor of English at the University of Calabria, Italy. His areas of interest include onomastics, critical discourse analysis and translation studies. He has edited the volume Names and Naming in the Postcolonial English-Speaking World (2018) and published articles on toponyms and trade names, gender and translation, and ecocritical discourse analysis.

Conférence de Christophe GIRAUD "Ouverture sur la toponymie"

 lien 



Conférence de Christophe GIRAUD (Docteur en géographie, cartographe, conférencier) intitulée ; "Ouverture sur la toponymie."

La toponymie est l’étude des noms de lieux.
Elle relève d’un domaine plus vaste, l’onomastique, qui a pour objet l’examen et la compréhension des noms propres (toponymes et anthroponymes).
Depuis les travaux d’A. Dauzat, la France bénéficie de l’analyse d’éminents spécialistes.

Les noms de lieux ne cessent d’étonner qui parcourt du regard la carte géographique.
Dans l’Hexagone l’abondance et la signification de certains suffixes (noms en -ac, en -y, en -ville…) suscitent des questionnements légitimes.
Ailleurs, ce sont les noms en -grad ou -gorod (monde slave) qui interpellent,
ou bien des noms de lieux aux consonances françaises et espagnoles sur le sol des Etats-Unis.

C’est que les toponymes sont aussi le reflet et les produits d’une histoire et, bien souvent, l’objet d’enjeux politiques.
Istanbul, Saint-Petersbourg, Raguse, Karlovy Vary… illustrent la longue litanie de villes porteuses de noms différents.
États et idéologies remodèlent à l’envi certains emplacements chargés de symboles…

Digital Mapping of Special Ethnic Minority Toponyms in Southwest China

 

"Dragon Street and Tiger Market: Digital Mapping of Special Ethnic Minority Toponyms in Southwest China" by Jiehai Liu (Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China) and Xing Zhao (Leiden University, Netherlands) A particular category of highly reused toponyms exists in southwest China, composed of two naming templates— “12 earthly branches (Chinese Zodiac) + street/market”—with 24 variants, such as Dragon Street and Tiger Market. Previous studies have largely focused on the cultural and historical origins of this naming template, but there is a lack of quantitative research on their spatial distribution and the relationships between them. This study will extract data on this category of toponyms from the National Database for Geographical Names of China (2021) and analyse their geographical distribution and the spatial relationships between them using the CARTO GIS platform and a network analysis tool (Gephi). The article aims to answer two questions: (1) How are such place names spatially distributed in various provinces (Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi) of southwest China? (2) What are the spatial relationships between locations with such place names? This article will explore and provide visual information on the location distribution and frequency of appearance of the 24 place name variants, thus verifying the two major propositions about the origin of the naming pattern, expressly, that it is either of Yi cultural origin or Miao cultural origin. This article will also explore and provide visual information on the spatial relationship between, and administrative hierarchy of, locations with these place names, thus explaining why they mostly appear in villages and towns and the cycle pattern of rural fairs they display. Map Link: https://liujiehai.cn/maps.html JIEHAI LIU is an associate professor of English Language and Linguistics at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China. He is now a postdoctoral researcher at Leiden University, the Netherlands. His research interests include cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, onomastics and digital humanities.

International Training on Toponymy "Geographical Names as Cultural Heritage"

 link




  • Overview

  • The International Training on Toponymy is one of the goals set out in the UNGEGN Asia South-East (ASE) Division Work Plan 2019-2022 to be achieved during Indonesia's chairmanship. Initially, the training should have been held in conjunction with the 8th Divisional Meeting of the UNGEGN ASE Division in 2020. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the training had to be postponed for safety reasons.

    Indonesia's chairmanship ended in April 2022 during the 10th Divisional Meeting of the UNGEGN ASE Division. However, Indonesia is still committed to convening the International Training on Toponymy in 2023, as discussed with the UNGEGN Secretariat and the UNGEGN Working Group on Training Courses in Toponymy.

    The International Training on Toponymy is open to all UNGEGN member countries, with a limit of up to 75 international participants. The training is co-organized by the Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency (Badan Informasi Geospasial - BIG), the UNGEGN Secretariat, and the UNGEGN Working Group on Training Courses in Toponymy. The training will be held face-to-face in Bali, as it has a rich tangible and intangible cultural heritage that would suit the theme of the training: Geographical Names as Cultural Heritage. As part of the training activities, Indonesia designed a one-day visit to several cultural geographical features, which will offer participants a full immersion into the field collection of geographical names.

  • Trainers
  • Module 1: Peder Gammeltoft (Norway)
  • Module 2: Cecille Blake (USA) and Ade Komara Mulyana (Indonesia)
  • Module 3: Tjeerd Tichelaar (The Netherlands)
