“The limits of my language are the limits of my world.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921)
It was the Old Alleynian philosopher GE Moore who suggested to
the young Wittgenstein, who was to put the analysis of language at
the heart of 20th century Western philosophy, that he might echo
Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (1677) in the title of his
first published work. One of the most well-known and interrogated
statements from Wittgenstein’s remarkably influential work stands as a
fitting epigraph for our latest Free Learning enterprise.
Dulwich Linguistic is your passport to crossing frontiers into the
languages and cultures of countries beyond the English-speaking
world. The week will challenge your linguistic limits, your perceptions
of how you see yourself in a rapidly shrinking world and heighten your
appreciation of communication in all its forms.
The week will be devoted to celebrating languages on every level
and all five Schools will be transmogrified into a veritable melting
pot of events and activities crossing the imaginary divides between
languages, science, music, mathematics, academia, business and
sport. In one day, where else could you make your protest through
the creative medium of screen-printing and be transported to
Renaissance Italy via the phonetics of ventriloquism?
This programme is a daily guide to the fascinating and diverse range
of events on offer throughout the week – whether it be playing your
part in the living wall of Dulwich language, enjoying a tour to the
Courtauld Gallery, or speed-dating in Ancient Hebrew. This is your
opportunity to engage and take your learning beyond the classroom.
We hope you enjoy it.
Dr JAF Spence, The Master
RRS Baylis, Head of Modern Languages
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes
to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes to his
heart.”
Attributed to Nelson Mandela

in this programme, the following
will take place throughout Dulwich

print workshop cum exhibition space. Comment on socio-political
issues and participate in an evolving art installation that echoes the
collective Alleynian spirit and takes the language of protest as a
means to explore its potency. Using the screen print process as a site
for experimental collaborative practice, our creative workshops will
generate ideas & imagery that will form the exhibition around us.

But
Dulwich Linguistic
Week doesn’t end there:
MONDAY 14 NOVEMBER
Where would I be without languages?
Question time chaired by Huw Edwards: all Year 11 pupils, periods
4-6, George Farha Auditorium.
Leading figures from law, journalism and publishing share their
experiences of working in global industries. In particular, they
pinpoint moments in their careers where languages have given them
opportunities to break through.
Hosted by the BBC’s Huw Edwards, the short talks will be followed
by a Q&A session in which boys can start to map out their own future
careers with an understanding of how languages might play a vital,
and sometimes unexpected role.
Looking for a real linguistic
challenge? Try the…
