Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This seminar will be centered on the political economy as an approach to phenomena of inequality between speakers within sociolinguistic inquiry. Guiding questions are: How is language (ideologies and practices) embedded in processes of valuation, production, circulation and consumption of resources? What are the ideological, material and historical conditions of language, speech and speakers? (cf. Del Percio, Flubacher & Duchêne 2017)After engaging with the central notions and concepts (political economy, New Economy, neoliberalism, commodification, language investment), we will explore and discuss their relevance for linguistics, on the one hand, and various dimensions of linguistic/language mediated social inequality, on the other.The goal of this seminar is to get familiar with the political-economic perspective on linguistic phenomena and social inequality as well as with its principal literature, debates and methods. A further goal is to learn/practice the textual genre of review.
Assessment and permitted materials
Performance evaluation is based on three tasks: (1) responsible for a unit/discussion, (2) responsible for the minutes of another unit, (3) writing a review of a scientific publication relevant to the topic of the seminar.Regular presence and active participation.
