Multea Roundtable: Asemic Poetry and Languages with Federico Federici 29 April 2024

Welcome to LangueFlow’s Multea roundtables! Our meetings are online, interactive and open for researchers and students.

Our guest speaker on Monday 29 April 2024 is the internationally acclaimed conceptual artist Federico Federici.

The talk will explore the interconnectedness between language, mathematics, and physics, drawing parallels between concepts such as metric spaces in mathematics and the fabric of spacetime in physics, as well as their analogies in linguistic structures. It will address how languages are viewed as relational schemes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationships between symbols rather than their individual content.

The discussion of topics such as code-switching and translanguaging, respectively in the field of [visual] multi-language poetry and asemic writing, aims to highlight how these practices may challenge conventional notions of linguistic boundaries and signification, ultimately influencing the perception of the world through the synthesis of competing linguistic structures.

We meet at:

  • 15:30 CEST (Budapest, Berlin, Rome)
  • 16:30 EEST (Cluj-Napoca/Koloszvár)
  • 9:30 EDT (New York)
