Abstract

This chapter introduces a Johannesburg-based postdoctoral practice as research project to explore linguistically sustainable frameworks for interaction. We follow the journey of an actor’s language ideologies that previously located Indigenous South African languages as not belonging in an educational context, analysing how they are shaped and challenged through the interactions of the project. We suggest that it is through performance-based processes of writing, adapting, and renaming, together with exploring a synthesis of these processes in the body, that the actor shapes and challenges her language ideologies to pose a place of inquiry for her Indigenous South African languages in the educational institution.
