About & Archive

The “Language/Place carnival” is a joined blog cyber journey featuring international perspectives on language and place. It was initiated in 2010 by BluePrintReview editor Dorothee Lang in Germany.

The carnival moved through all continents of the world in almost 20 editions, reaching from Hong Kong to London, from Slovenia to Alaska, and from Mexico to India. Each edition was hosted by a different poet, writer, artist or blogger, and had an own focus theme.

The archive of “Language/Place" is included in the sidebar, an extendend archive is online here: Editions

The concept of "> Language > Place"
To create a collaborative cyber journey that features international perspectives on language and place, in different formats, and with different languages included - that's the concept of this collaborate project.
