Meeting Description:

THEME: The political economy of language and space/place

In the last years, there has been a strong drive within Linguistic Landscape
studies to ‘go beyond the signs’, which often has been interpreted as talking
to the producers, owners and readers of signs to learn more about how they
conceptualise the value and meaning of signs and languages. The 12th
Linguistic Landscape Workshop invites you to take a closer look at the
political, economic and technological structures and processes that regulate
the production, circulation and consumption of semiotic resources in and about
places. A political economic perspective on language allows us to
conceptualise the differential valorisation of semiotic resources in
particular spaces and places. This is important since different language
hierarchies and regimes prevail in different spatiotemporal contexts,
resulting in varied (in)visibility and (im)mobility for individual semiotic
resources.

We particularly invite contributions focusing on topics related to this theme,
but we also welcome contributions addressing other topics of relevance to the
field of Linguistic Landscape.

The conference is dedicated to Jan Blommaert whose ground-breaking work on
language and social inequalities has been influential in Linguistic Landscape
research.
