LANGUAGE AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF INTERCULTURAL IDENTITIESCeleste OrtonMy project explores how we use and understand intercultural identities. In this project, Iwill focus on the following themes: the meaning of intercultural identities, language andculture, the understanding of difference, power and privilege, and possible solutions toissues related to power.In this paper, I will discuss some of the ways humans use language in a way that isrelated to identity. Language, both oral and written, has power and is connected toculture in that it can define identities and reflect and shape communities. There are linksbetween identity and culture that we understand through language. Identity is defined as asense of self that denotes a person’s characteristics. At times, we purposely call attentionto identity through how we dress, walk and use language, with whom we choose toassociate, perhaps even where we live. 1 Intercultural identity can be viewed as a linkagebetween a person and more then a community. 2 Intercultural identities function as alinkage between language, as sense of self, values and multiple communities.Through researching and studying this topic, I have learned that there are multipleidentities such as race, gender, age, ethnic, and class. These identities affect the way weuse and perceive language. Discovering why my use of language and the way I speak isdifferent from others and is one of the key reasons I chose this topic.1 Newman, David M. (2007).

WHEN SCHILLER MEETS SOCCERMariza PereiraIn my paper, I explore the idea of “soccer as art form” from three major definitionalperspectives: moral art, refined/unique art, and popular art.Three foundational academic and personal interests led to this paper: commitment tosocial justice, a culture of “football fever” in my native Portugal, and the discipline ofsemiotics, which is the study of symbols and the meanings with which we charge them.If we can conscientiously imbue human experience with positive or negative meaning, Iargue that “soccer as art” becomes a potentially inexhaustible source of positive meaningfor human beings in terms of creativity and permeating social barriers.When soccer is truly aesthetic, it is also exemplary in morality, capable even ofpioneering social justice. My goal is to show that at its best, soccer embodies Schiller’sideal Aesthetic State. 11 Lamarque, Peter & Sartwell, Crispin (1997). Aesthetics The Classic Readings.
