Abstract:

The focus of this study is the textual world present in train stations, airports and inner cities as well as well as the question of how the locality-bound nature of media is constitutive for the form and function of these types of communication. How this functional aestheticisation and mediatization of our daily life (via announcement, signs, display boards, advertisement signs, and notices, etc.) can be meaningfully typologically categorized forms an important part of the work. The public textual world is conceptualized as a form of meso-level of communication that is shaped through its local nature, media material, and limited number recipients. On the basis of a corpus containing over 2000 photographs and over 30 soundrecording from various, principally German, metropolises and airport, the distinctions between visible, audible, and palpable forms of communication on the one hand and empracticed, private and soliciting texts on the other are investigated. The analytical approach integrates textual, medial and pragmatic-linguistic instruments with reflections from ethnographic methodology, cultural philosophy and systems theories.
