The notion of crisis has emerged as a defining concept of global reality. Its meanings, however, are momentously shifting: from the traditional conception of crises as temporary “turning points”, to “a state of greater or lesser permanence” (Krzyżanowski et al. 2023), as captured by the recent coinage of permacrisis. Yet, these dynamics of language are never just about naming.

Since the first international meeting convened in Tel Aviv in 2008, the annual Linguistic Landscape Workshop established itself as the leading conference for interdisciplinary research on language in public space. The 2025 conference theme “Spaces of collapse and transformation” aims to address the dynamics of transformations that unfold in societies trending toward collapse through war, poverty, overexploitation of resources, environmental destruction, etc. Collapse and transformation are concepts addressed by scholars working in various disciplines.
