Meeting Description: 

In March 2018, we will organise a conference at FU Berlin, Germany, discussing
the construction of public space in relation to language under the conditions
of late modernity. Hosting a small conference with 17 internationally renowned
scholars, we seek to explore how public space changes in late modernity, and
in what ways language use is both implicated in and affected by such forms of
social and cultural change. We have a broad socially interested,
sociolinguistic and discourse analytic perspective, see
http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/en/v/wild-publics/index.html for
further information and for the list of speakers.

Prior to the conference, on 22 March 2018, we offer two methodological
workshops for junior researchers, one oriented towards qualitative and one
towards quantitative methods to study language practice in online contexts. We
are proud to announce that both workshops are conducted by specialist experts
to the field: 

- Ethnographic Approach to Digitally Mediated Publics by Piia Varis, Tilburg
- Quantitative Approaches to Discourse in Social Media by Tatjana Scheffler,
Potsdam
