Viadrina Languaging Winterschool

12. January 2024

The Linguistics Department at European University Viadrina organised a research school for PhD students. In the tradition of culturally-oriented language research at European University Viadrina, the winter school teached methods that allow to study language as an interactive, socially embedded and

and multimodal cultural practice. In line with current posthumanist language theory (Schneider & Heyd to appear) and embodied multimodality (Müller 2018; Müller & Kappelhoff 2018), “coconstructions” (Fernández-Villanueva & Jungbluth 2016), and border thinking (Höfler 2020), we question body/mind dualisms and understand language as languaging, that is as “everyday multimodal communicative acts” (De Meulder and Kusters et al. 2019), which bring about meaning and social relationships.
