Keynote Lecture
Date: Thursday, 2 February 2023, 17:30 - 18:30 JST
Location: Zoom

Abstract:
This talk extends the concept of translanguaging by looking at
transitional mutilinguals’ journey of Transpositioning – a process
where people break from their pre-set or prescribed roles and switch
perspectives with others, through communicative practices such as
translanguaging and transmodalities, by releasing one’s self from
conventions and fostering a greater sense of possibility, freeing
ourselves from habitual thinking, and building empathy for others
involved in the process. Transpositioning highlights the multiple and
interwoven layers of emplacements and positionings that are entailed
in communications which cross and transcend the boundaries that have
historically shaped our thinking about the world and its inhabitants.
Transpositioning requires border thinking, i.e. thinking from the
outside, using alternative epistemological traditions and alternative
languages of expression. Methodological implications of taking a
transpositioning perspective on doing identity in a diverse and
ever-changing world will be discussed.
