It’s exciting to be in Lorsch, Hessen, for the workshop on hidden, sacred & magical semiotic landscapes, organised by Anne Storch & Professor Hirut Woldemariam - with excellent interpreting for those of us whose A-level German is a bit rusty…

In his paper at Lorsch, Richard Bußmann takes us to Elephantine Island in Aswan where secret and hidden landscapes in Ancient Egypt gesture to divine and royal relationships

Day 2 of Hidden, Sacred & Magical semiotic languages, with Tina Terrahe opening the seminar with her comprehensive discussion of mediaeval spells, invoking mandrakes, doomed dogs, and blood legends

Next, Kampschulte draws on Goffman and Bhabha as she thinks through questions of art in reality, from her experiences at bus stops through to the nightclubs of Ulm & even fingernail cuttings as art #hiddenlandscapes

In the #sacredlandscapes seminar, Professor Hirut Woldemariam is now taking us through semiosis within the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, considering how some signs and symbols have taken up transnational significance in the USA

At #sacredlandscapes, Storch invites us to consider resonances, starting with Restif de la Bretonne as an early #linguisticlandscape researcher, working through single sandals in the ancient world, and taking in moths, as part of her night linguistics project

Very happy to share this return to the #linguisticlandscape of #timorleste. Thanks to Robert Blackwood and the editorial team for the well-managed flow from submission to publication. Always a pleasure to be an author when the process works well! benjamins.com/catalog/ll.230…

I’m only moving down the corridor but I’ll miss my office of 7 years and its cosiness. And I found boxes I hadn’t unpacked from the last office move but still decided to keep everything…
