Listen "Naming the Nameless"
Episode Synopsis
Who makes – and owns – a language?
In Linz, we meet with Rubia Salgado, language teacher and co-founder of das kollektiv, a collective of migrant women. As we walk along the Danube, we talk to Rubia about who belongs in public spaces, what it means to be open to change, and why learning about migration can’t be reduced to trying out new dinner recipes. We discuss what grammar and syntax in a language have to do with power and who constructs a language. Rubia also tells us about the benefits of chewing the words – and why poetry can help.
