Title Waste Semiotics: Language , Materiality, Space (BA and MA Seminar Linguistics) (ENLIGHT BIP)(Open to CSLS)
Description Waste Semiotics offers a transdisciplinary, action-oriented space for students wanting to investigate the powerful connections between everyday language and communication and one of the most pressing ecological and cultural concerns of our time: waste. The course is organized as a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) in collaboration with ENLIGHT partner universities. This means it comprises a series of six online sessions and a five-day intensive program in Bern (with outings, a methods workshop, and a community-engagement project). Like incoming students from other universities, Bern students must make themselves available for the full on-site program: Monday 19 to Friday 23 October. Students are required to complete a “trash trajectories” fieldwork exercise before the on-site week.
