Weiß immer noch nicht, wie wir dahin gekommen sind, dass die Leute mit den Galgen und den Hassbotschaften „besorgte Bürger“ sind und die mit den Plakaten voll Solidarität und Gemeinschaftssinn „linke Spinner“.

Komm, Deutschland. Sei einfach mal gut und sorg dafür, dass die selbstgerechte Siegessicherheit von Leuten wie Merz und Weidel (und Trump und Musk) heute eine Absage erhält. Die Welt braucht dieses Signal.

Wir sind die AG „Literatur – Bild – Medium“ und forschen an der @unicologne.bsky.social zur Theorie und Didaktik multimodaler Literatur. Auf unserem neuen Blog findet ihr ab sofort aktuelle Infos zu Publikationen, Veranstaltungen und Projekten der AG: uni.koeln/6P8C9 Logo: @bendammers.bsky.social

The call for the 2025 edition of the Digital Methods summer school from the awesome Richard Rogers & team is OPEN 🚀 Spread the word #commsky #csssky @polcomm.bsky.social This year’s theme: Social media at a crossroads, and the sensitivity of AI platforms www.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/SummerSc...

Exciting news! Applications are now open for the Summer School of Linguistics, taking place from August 2–9, 2025, in the Czech Republic: ssol.ff.cuni.cz/ssol-2025/. I'll be giving guest lectures on pragmatics and communicative strategies—hope to see you there!

Here we go: #12ICOM will feature around 150 talks, pitches, posters and workshops! Notifications were sent this morning. Thanks to all reviewers for their hard work and support! We look forward to welcoming everyone in Groningen in October! bit.ly/12ICOM

So, in case you haven't seen it, there is a series of comics out there called Stop Project 2025. The main link is this: stopproject2025comic.org

Very useful resources on how to transcribe multimodal conversations!

Multimodal transcription is essential for representing visible action in CA transcripts. I’ve recorded a video series showing how I transcribe embodied action step by step. Links to the videos are in the thread below ⬇️

#12ICOM update: All abstracts are reviewed and notifications will be sent out at the end of the week. Watch your inbox! We've also been successful in securing funding, so that registration fees will be very low. 🎉 bit.ly/12ICOM

Die im TV-Duell gestellte Frage nach den zwei Geschlechtern begleitet Friedrich Merz schon lange, und für das Verständnis der Szene ist es hilfreich, die Vorgeschichte zu kennen. Ich habe sie in meinem Buch "Sprache ist, was du draus machst!" (Droemer) rekonstruiert und poste das mal als Leseprobe.

“Artificial witness: Generative AI and the visual politics of war” - for those interested - here is a recording of my talk that addresses the uses of generative AI in imaging and imagining wars: youtu.be/XX5HpVlXkIQ | part of Visiting Research Fellowship at Manchester Metropolitan University |

Warum die radikale Rechte generative KI liebt und wie Midjourney & Co. die Ästhetik des gegenwärtigen digitalen Faschismus prägen, darüber durfte ich in «Geschichte der Gegenwart» (@g-d-gegenwart.bsky.social) schreiben #PlatformRealism geschichtedergegenwart.ch/echte-emotio...

Thrilled to share that my latest research on dance in interaction is published 🤩 It shows how transitions from one activity to multiple follow three steps: 1) Project the shift, 2) Mobilize resources (gestures, positioning, cues), 3) Start both at once. Open access in Frontiers in Communication 😁

Und nun noch eine sehr wichtige Ankündigung: Für die, die es noch nicht wissen, in Deutschland haben wir eine ganz wunderbare Fachgesellschaft, deren Mitglieder sich mit dem Medium Comics aus unterschiedlichen - interdisziplinären - Perspektiven auseinandersetzen.

Warum Comics ein spannendes Forschungsfeld sind, kann man gerade supergut bei @realscide.bsky.social nachlesen, wo @chrismey2203.bsky.social diese Woche das Sagen hat. ⤵️

Humor en satire in plaats van apocalyptische boodschappen: volgens onderzoeker Massih Zekavat (Faculteit der Letteren) werkt dit beter om milieubewustzijn aan te moedigen 🌱 'Humor zorgt ervoor dat boodschappen beter worden onthouden en overtuigender zijn' 👇 www.rug.nl/about-ug/lat...

Register for the Tiktok conference in Dresden in March, featuring so many good talks and people (- and me)!

Registration is now open for our (hybrid) conference "LinguisTikTok: Linguistic Research on TikTok" which will take place at TU Dresden from 24-26 March 2025. Check out the fantastic program at tu-dresden.de/gsw/slk/germ...

if you know of podcasts where research methods in linguistics have been discussed could you please share them with me? I see a lot of super interesting podcasts on language(s)/linguistics which I plan to add to some classes, but I need some methods-related ones for the module I start in Feb!

🚨🚨2025 Internship Call 🚨🚨 Come work with us on multimodal research for speech and text at NAVER LABS Europe 🤗 Apply here: europe.naverlabs.com/job/internsh... Please check the requirements on the next post 👇

🔔🚨 Two weeks left to submit an abstract to our Divisional ICA pre-conference on visual communication in times of social change (deadline Feb 1) -

Tomorrow: new #BreGroMM session on social interaction!

Registrations open for my talk on #genAI and visual politics of war at Manchester Metropolitan University, the Digital Society Research Group, next Tues, Jan 21, 12-1 pm (GMT +01:00 London). Hope to see you there! More info: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/artificial...

Please tell people that they don’t have to stand out to do good work and be respected. Doing honest research and taking care of your colleagues and your field can be as valuable. We already have so much anxiety and fomo in the field, I’m not sure it’s making us better.

New @opensciencenl.bsky.social call! Do you want to contribute to transparency and reliability in research? Open Science NL offers funding for replication studies across all disciplines. Apply by 6 March 2025, with budgets of up to €200,000. #openscience www.openscience.nl/en/news/new-...

Einfach mal in die Niederlande schauen, was eine rechte Mehrheit macht. Wenige Monate später Kürzungen von mehreren Millionen Euro pro Jahr und Uni. Mit unmittelbaren Folgen: pauschale Einstellstops, Kündigungen, Reduktion des Lehrangebots. Und das sind nur die Sofortmaßnahmen der Unis

❗ New year, new #BreGroMM sessions: 📅 Next one is on 17 January on social interaction. 🫵 You want to present? More sessions are coming up and we have some open spots! 👉 You have an idea or a question, a workshop or some data to discuss? Submit your #abstract via forms.gle/mzj7vcGTmNJz....

Plans for 2025: "carve out that all-important space and time to think" (I've been trying this for some time with blocked timeslots in my calendar. But the Dutch mentality of having meetings after meetings is often my biggest challenge.)
