X-SCAPES:10th Linguistic Landscape Workshop

In marking the 10th anniversary gathering, the 2018 workshop is being organized under the theme of X-SCAPES as a deliberately and pointedly non-thematic theme. We thereby invite participants (old and new) to reconsider and re-imagine the field’s methodologies and intellectual priorities for the next ten years.

X = the number ten
X = numeric and alphabetic
X = semiotic and embodied
X = ancient and futuristic
X = unknowable and mysterious
X marks the spot

Self-Legitimation Practices of International Organizations: From a Bottom-Up to a Top-Down Perspective

The legitimacy of international organizations seems more contested than ever today. Recent debates on the politicization of international organizations illustrate that IOs have increasingly become subject to critical public review. While the legitimacy of international governance has long been treated as a non-issue, IOs such as the EU or the G8 are now suffering a legitimacy crisis. This panel will explore how IOs attempt to deal with these legitimacy challenges.

Language in Politics in Slavic speaking countries

The Department of Slavonic Studies at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena organizes a workshop on the occasion of the Day of Slavic Literacy. Its main focus lies on political discourse in the Slavic speaking countries. Linguistic study of political discourse and its genres has become an important research topic within the pragma-linguistic studies. The nature of political discourse necessarily invites to cross-disciplinary considerations which have been reflected in a great number of empirical and methodical research findings.
