The GLOCAL AFALA 2024 theme, Code and Commodification, as the New Decolonization, Ikhodi kanye Nokuthengisa njenge decolonization Entsha, describes a process deeply connected to the commodification of language and cultural identities throughout African regions, as fertile climates for Linguistic Anthropological attention. The GLOCAL AFALA 2024 invites work that addresses the decolonization of African contexts through the complex appropriation of language and cultural code.
