Linguistics, Chinese Communities, and Transnational Landscapes - Interdisciplinary Research Workshop 3
This session explores the language in the space around us as a reflection of policy, ideology, and social change. By examining material culture, architecture, and street signage across various contexts where Chinese communities inhabit, we will reflect on how Chinese languages and cultures manifest in physical spaces to embody geopolitics and social movements. Visual cues—ranging from Mao-era artifacts to contemporary urban signage—will be presented to stimulate a discussion on the evolving visibility of Chineseness in a globalized world.
