In this conference, Dirk Weissmann (UT2J) will explore how linguistic identity shapes communication across cultures. Intercultural relations fundamentally rely on translingual communication, raising a central question: what is the relationship between language(s) and culture(s)? How does linguistic identity shape intercultural interactions? What forms can intercultural communication take, and what role do translation and multilingualism play in this process? While Romantic thought promoted the ideal of a perfect alignment between nation, culture, and language, this model is far from universal. Multilingual societies have always existed, from ancient empires to modern nations, adding considerable complexity to intercultural communication. In a world navigating between global languages and widespread multilingualism, what are the future prospects for intercultural relations from a linguistic perspective?
The conference will be given by Dirk Weissmenn, Professor of Germanic Studies at Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès.
