ZusammenfassungUnterhalb der bürgerlichen, massenmedialen und digitalen Öffentlichkeiten lebt eine kaum beachtete vierte (schriftliche) kleine Öffentlichkeit, in der private Nähe demonstriert, demontiert oder verhandelt wird. Alltägliche Schreibflächen dienen als Probebühne, auf der nicht sichtbare Jugendliche ihre Liebes‑, Hass‑, Eifersuchts‑, Mobbing- und Ausgrenzungsgefühle vor einer (desinteressierten) Scheinöffentlichkeit risikolos untereinander ausspielen können. Die hier im öffentlichen Raum gewahrte (romantische) Grenze zwischen kleiner Gemeinschaft und großer Öffentlichkeit wird in Social Media aufgegeben, wenn dort Privates und oft Intimes einer dissoziierten und somit verantwortungslosen Öffentlichkeit preisgegeben wird.

Bergen?

Semiotic landscapes have been documented widely. However, many analyses focus on visible cues and production, and do not investigate soundscapes and the perception of both visual and auditory signs. The present study aims at filling this research gap. It presents an ethnographic investigation of the semiotic landscape of arrival in Bergen, Norway. The focus is on the welcome sign outside the airport and the soundscape of the city-bound tram. Data stem from a questionnaire distributed to international and domestic travelers, and an auto-ethnographic account by the author. The analysis shows that a distinct welcome to Bergen, presented as a unique destination, is created in a multisensory way. This welcome is mostly performative, as is often the case in tourism, but creates a very distinct and memorable sense of place for travelers. Altogether, the study emphasizes the importance of multiple means of meaning making in semiotic landscapes.

Linguistic landscapes, according to Backhaus (2009: 170), are “consciously shaped and controlled by official rules and regulations.” However, the current body of Philippine linguistic landscape research – under-studied as it already is – lacks a close examination of Philippine national laws governing the (re)production of public signage. This paper therefore investigates the linguistic and ideological underpinnings of select […] national sign laws by situating these not only within the context of their legal precedents, mandates, and history but also through an examination of 600 public signs collected from six diverse region centers in the Philippines. It examines how national laws prefer English in public signs over local and Indigenous languages, thereby perpetuating what Phillipson (1992) calls “English linguistic imperialism” and exacerbating the unequal power dynamics between those who speak English and those who do not in the Philippines.
