Kulturwissenschaftliche Linguistik

Repeatedly, scholars have demanded that language, due to its materiality and performativity, be understood as a medium. Along these lines, this book provides a systematic foundationof a media theory of communication, whichenvisions language as cultural practice of understanding. From this, a new, linguistically oriented way of culturalstudies originates, whichrevolves aroundquestions of aesthetics, diversity and cultural memory.
