Description
The CHI is a research centre at the University of Southern Denmark. It pursues a groundbreaking view of what it is to be human by drawing on synergies of what is best in Cognitive Science and the Humanities. Pursuing an understanding of the human condition leads researchers at CHI to study how human events are shaped by what people think, feel and do in highly complex settings, and how the results of their actions and coactions contribute to the wider ecology.
When people begin with cognitive science, they usually focus on hardware, tasks and information processing. When they begin with the humanities they often begin with verbal pattern, texts and other media. We do neither: we investigate how living beings connect up sense-saturated activity or, simply, how they coordinate. This is what we call human interactivity. It is species-specific in that, through languaging, people link bodies, materiality and organisations. Human interactivity is at once both feelingful, normative and makes us in our becoming.

ORDERS OF LANGUAGE & THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF THE LANGUAGE SCIENCES. University of Southern Denmark 4-5 February 2016. Remember to register before 15 January (you register by sending an email to CHI@sdu.dk) Nigel Love challenged the view that language maps directly onto linguistic knowledge. He did so by distinguishing between actual linguistic events (first order language) and how these are described in relation to second-order linguistic resources (e.g. words, languages), i.e. patterns that can be envisaged by those who have been socialised into the use of writing systems. The symposium explores how the distinction has opened up new directions in the language sciences. It will do so by uniting scholars who have used these ideas in theoretical, empirical and other ways. The symposium asks whether there are prospects for a unified epistemology in the language sciences. The speakers of the research symposium are Nigel Love, Talbot Taylor, Chris Hutton, Peter Jones, Stephen Cowley, John Joseph, Paul Thibault, Michael Toolan, Sune Vork Steffensen, Dorthe Duncker and Mark Garner.
