Introduction

Arts in academia is a topic that has not yet found much acceptance, especially not in a discipline like linguistics. It is either considered as not scholarly enough, as not sufficiently objective, or as providing too many open questions and spaces. If artistic takes on an academic issue are considered, it happens usually in a special framework, such as a “science slam” or something termed “alternative” approach. Bringing art and academia together, without creating a limited space first, however, is a very fruitful and rewarding undertaking.
