13. Polyhistorizität im öffentlichen Raum
-
Christian Bendl
Abstract
This contribution presents the formation of space and time in communicative practices at and about public places. An interdisciplinary as well as socio- and discourse linguistic perspective is taken to highlight how space, time, and communicative practices are conceptually interrelated. These concepts are regarded as dynamically construed aspects of social life that communicatively refer to values (ideologies) and social positionings. They are functionally relevant in everyday life and at specific acts (e.g. memorial events). Both, the analyses of the semiotic landscapes as well as of a tweet illustrate the interdependence of material places, discursive spaces and times, and communicative practices. Especially polyhistoricity, meaning the contextualization of multi-layered timeframes, has a remarkable impact in the discursive constituting of space-time and of a (unified) social reality.
