ABSTRACT:

The wretched of the earth die young. Repeatedly, research has demonstrated a
relationship between political inequality and premature death, with
subordinated groups dying earlier than their more privileged counterparts.
This talk will discuss my efforts to explore this relationship in connection
to linguistic inequality, focusing on two different contexts. First, I will
discuss the multiple ways in which the speakers of Indigenous and minoritized
languages are exposed to increased risk of premature death, creating what I
call a ‘necropolitics of language oppression’. This section of the talk
will primarily draw on my ethnographic research with Tibetan communities in
China. Secondly, I will also look at how linguistic inequalities might
contribute to the much-reduced lifespan of autistic people, who, for example,
die on average 20 years younger than the national average in the country
where I live, Australia. In this section, I draw on the theoretical insights
from my previous ethnographic research, which I use to analyze my own lived
experience as an autistic person, coupled with a reading of the secondary
literature on autism, health, communication, and violence. In bringing these
two areas together I hope to encourage more people to examine the life and
death consequences of linguistic inequalities.

The two key concepts of this event are discourse
and culture. Despite variation in defining the concept, scholars concur that culture is a multi-layered construct, characterised by patterned routines/behaviours. Now, more than ever, globalization encourages communication among people from various cultures. The aim of this event is to bring together the two strands in this increasingly interconnected world, providing the opportunity to use language comparisons between/among cultures in order to get a deeper insight into the language phenomena around us. The focus is on cross-cultural discourse patterns, as well as on specific communicative practices within cultures.
