Kollokvier i tyska och nederländska: Wim Vandenbussche om flerspråkighet i Belgien

Seminarium

Datum: tisdag 11 februari 2025

Tid: 13.00 – 14.30

Plats: E509 (och Zoom)

Gästföredrag av Wim Vandenbussche, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, med titeln (på engelska) "Babel in action: Belgium beyond the myth of monolingual Flanders, bilingual Brussels, and trilingual state".

 

Abstrakt på engelska

In the popular international press, Belgium often qualifies as a site of perennial language conflict between Flemings and Walloons. While official language legislation provides for specific rights for Dutch, French, and German, the traditional image of linguistic segregation fails to capture the multilingual dynamics that characterize Flanders, Brussels and Belgium in the first quarter of the 21st century. Using data from recent research projects at VUB, I will argue that Belgium and Brussels have fundamentally changed into hotspots of multilingual diversity. I will also reflect on the possible consequences of these changes on the legal and geo-political organisation of the country.

Seminariespråket är engelska. Vänligen kontakta Hanna Henryson (hanna.henryson@tyska.su.se) för mer information och eventuell Zoom-länk!
