Language Power Struggles in Shanghai

Time: 16:30 – 18:30, April 23, 2010

Cost:free

When two people from different countries meet, how do they decide what language to speak?  Does this work the same way in Shanghai as in other places?  If you’re a foreigner, does it sometimes feel that Chinese people don’t want you to speak in Chinese?  Do you feel that you “should” speak the language of China in China?  If you’re Chinese, do you feel that foreigners “should” speak to you in English?  Do they sometimes seem resistant to this?  These topics are all related to the sociolinguistic topic of “Language Power Struggles in Shanghai,” a phenomenon which affects us all.  The talk is given by John Pasden, founder of AllSet Learning.  You are invited to come and share your own experiences.  The talk is bilingual; feel free to use either English or Chinese to participate.

Well, let’s face it. There are awful lot of noises out there on the social media platform, twitter, facebook, linkedin, diggit, flickr, dianping, foursquares, xindanwei, and countless of other blogging sites.

Everyday we are sharing different information about all kind of things, a couple of hundreds of followers here and there, but what’s the real added value for me? How can I know what I do in social networking sites is valuable?

Come to join Xindanwei Chit-Chat Party on Friday, April 9, 2010. We will serve you some tea and water-melon seeds, let’s have a chat with our special guest, Xindanwei coworker, the super geek– Popoever about all these questions.

目前在网络社会化媒体平台上发出的声音是如此的纷乱繁杂，twitter，facebook, linkedin, diggit, flickr, 4square,点评，包括新单位，以及不计其数的博客和个人主页，每时每刻我们都在和陌生人共享各种各样的信息，每天都有新的一批人加你为好友或开始关注你，这一切给我产生的实际价值在哪里？我怎么能够判断我在这些平台上所花的时间是否有所回报？
