Linguistics in the Pub (LIP) 15 March 2011 Visual Art and Language Documentation

[Ruth Singer]

Announcement



Linguistics in the Pub (LIP) March 2011

Organised by RNLD http://www.rnld.org



Topic: Visual Art and language documentation

Linguistics in the Pub had a discussion late last year about musicology and
language documentation. Music is one of the directions in which language
documentation projects can be extended. Another is visual art: including
discussions about visual art and documenting visual art practice is another
way of extending a language documentation project.



Participating in the session will be Frances Kofod who has a long history of
documenting East Kimberley Art in the Australian languages Miriwoong and
Gija. She is currently currently working on a project funded by ELDP and
sponsored by the University of Manchester called  "The painter's eye, the
painter's voice: Language, art and landscape in the Gija world.".



Also participating will be Sabine Hoeng
<http://rsh.anu.edu.au/people/profile_system/public1.php?id=149&p=1>who
is currently documenting early bark paintings from Northwestern Arnhem Land
as part of her PhD in visual anthropology at the Australian National
University (RSHA). Sabine is the co-initiator and coordinator of*
*I<http://www.iwaidja.org/>waidja
Inyman <http://www.iwaidja.org/>, a MILR funded Indigenous language
project dedicated to the recording and publishing of Iwaidja and other
endangered languages of Northwestern Arnhem Land since 2004.

LIP is an occasional gathering of language activists and linguists in
Melbourne. All are welcome. Those in other parts of Australia and the world
who can't make it to the Melbourne LIPs are encouraged to organise a local
