Processes of social change, including developments in global learning and global citizenship, are based – like the acquisition of education and knowledge of any kind – on the ability to communicate differentially. Through speaking, listening, reading and writing we get to know worlds, expand real and imaginary spaces, shape the future.

Languages and Life-Worlds. Studies in cultural-scientific-intercultural Linguistics is the first series at Ergon, which is based on concepts of linguistics accentuated by cultural studies and interculturalism. The aim is to promote interculturality, interdisciplinarity and multilingualism in the research field of languages and life-worlds: As a platform for language, education and cultural mediation, the volumes are published in various languages.

Deciphering the signs of the times requires many eyes to look closely and categorise what is recognised in terms of its multiple meanings. The series is dedicated to topics relevant to the zeitgeist, which are discussed from an interdisciplinary, semiotically orientated perspective. Various voices have their say: academic and practice-orientated contributions are complemented by outstanding Student essays. The diversity of contributors is matched by the diversity of formats; text-based approaches are complemented by visual discussions. This richness of content and form enables academic findings to be communicated to different target groups, with monographs, anthologies and essays from literary and art studies disciplines as well as film and media studies appearing in the series.
