Viadrina Languaging Winter School:
Methods in Studying Language as Multilingual, Embodied and Mediated Practice

10-12th January 2024, European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Germany

Viadrina Winter School 2024

The Linguistics Department at European University Viadrina invites applicants for a PhD winter school. The Viadrina Languaging Winter School will take place from 10th to 12th January 2024 at Frankfurt (Oder), Germany, in the vicinity of Berlin. In the tradition of culturally-oriented language research at European University Viadrina, our winter school teaches methods that allow to study language as an interactive, socially embedded 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.
