CV


Jürgen Streeck (Dr. phil., FU Berlin 1981) ist Associate Professor in den Departments Communication Studies, Anthropology, und Germanistik an der University of Texas at Austin. Streeck hat sich einen Namen mit seinen sprach- und kulturübergreifenden Studien über das Verhältnis von sprachlichen und körperlichen Komponenten kommunikativer Prozesse gemacht. Am Beginn seiner wissenschaftlichen Laufbahn galt sein Interesse insbesondere der Kommunikation unter Kindern; seine Dissertation (Kommunikation in einer kindlichen Sozialwelt, 1983) ist der Kommunikation afro-amerikanischer Kinder im Schulunterricht gewidmet, und er war Mitherausgeber von Children’s World and Children’s Language (1986). Streeck hat danach auf den Philippinen Feldforschung über Beziehungen zwischen typologischen Sprachmerkmalen und interactional grammar in der Sprache Ilokano durchgeführt (1996). Seither hat er vor allem über Gestik und multimodale Interaktion geforscht und dazu ein Buch (Gesturecraft, 2009) und zahlreiche Artikel veröffentlicht. Streeck war Gründungspräsident der International Society for Gesture Studies, ist Herausgeber von New Adventures in Language and Interaction (erscheint 2010) und gibt mit Charles Goodwin und Curtis LeBaron Embodied Interaction. Multimodality and Mediation (erscheint 2010) heraus. Neben seiner Arbeit über Sprache und soziale Interaktion ist Streeck an Beziehungen zwischen Sprache, Musik und Oralität—vor allem im Rap—und an der Analyse und Repräsentation von sozialer Interaktion in der bildenden Kunst interessiert.

FRIAS Projekt


The Plaza as a self-sustaining system of interaction
During his stay at FRIAS, Jürgen Streeck will conduct micro-analytic research on social interaction, socialization, and communal integration in a plaza of the city of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia. This plaza is the center of social life of the working class community Getsemani, which has recently emerged from years of crisis and oppression by the drug economy and is presently experiencing a period of social revival and re-integration. Drawing on a large corpus of video-recordings that he made during the summer of 2009 and adopting the framework of self-organization, Streeck seeks to find out how social interaction in the plaza organizes itself so that it can accommodate and reproduce a complex, diversified, and age-stratified social network and the plaza can sustain itself as the vital center of a community that has re-emerged as a face-to-face society. With this project, Streeck will also explore ways of linking the micro-analysis of interaction with research interests that focus on larger units of social integration such as ‘place’ and ‘neighborhood’.
