Description:
The intersection of language, discourse, and space has become a growing subject of attention in recent years, across a range of disciplines including cultural geography, linguistic anthropology, sociology, and political science. This session explores the ways that language, broadly understood, can encode diversity into our surroundings and impact our interpretations of the world. What things do we say about places that shape our attitudes towards them? How do the communities that inhabit them use language, from signage to graffiti, in official policy and everyday conversation, to express themselves or make claims to a space? We will focus on why attending to this piece of the puzzle can be a helpful perspective for geographers, and how these ideas, when applied, can help groups amplify and maintain their voices.
