Autumn School Concentrated on Interdisciplinary Dialogues with Health

Summary/Abstract: On 19–20 November 2020, the Estonian Literary Museum organised an international autumn school under the heading “Dialogues with health” for graduate students of the humanities in Värska – a borough in south-eastern Estonia which is historically well known for its mineral water and therapeutic mud resources. The lectures and discussions of the autumn school approached the topic of health in a broad and interdisciplinary way, looking at respective language use, belief and narrative worlds, emotions, fears, philosophies, lifestyles, and coping mechanisms in the times of epidemic as well as in everyday life, and their cultural, linguistic, and semiotic outputs. The event took place in cooperation with the Graduate School of Linguistics, Philosophy and Semiotics, but this did not hinder the inclusion of students from other branches (e.g., cultural research).
