Language in Late Capitalism / Alexandre Duchene

Public ISBD Titre : Language in Late Capitalism : Pride and Profit Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alexandre Duchene, Editeur scientifique ; Monica Heller, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Routledge Critical Studies in Multilingualism Importance : Paperback, 269 p Format : 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-86996-6 Note générale : Includes bibliographical references and index. Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Language  Capitalism Résumé : This book examines the ways in which our ideas about language and identity which used to be framed in national and political terms as a matter of rights and citizenship are increasingly recast in economic terms as a matter of added value. It argues that this discursive shift is connected to specific characteristics of the globalized new economy in what can be thought of as "late capitalism". Through ten ethnographic case studies, it demonstrates the complex ways in which older nationalist ideologies which invest language with value as a source of pride get bound up with newer neoliberal ideologies which invest language with value as a source of profit. The complex interaction between these modes of mobilizing linguistic resources challenges some of our ideas about globalization, hinting that we are in a period of intensification of modernity, in which the limits of the nation-State are stretched, but not (yet) undone. At the same time, this book argues, this intensification also calls into question modernist ways of looking at language and identity, requiring a more serious engagement with capitalism and how it constitutes symbolic (including linguistic) as well as material markets.

Paths to Post-Nationalism / Monica Heller

Public ISBD Titre : Paths to Post-Nationalism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Monica Heller, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 223 p Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-974686-6 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:428 phonetique et linguistique Mots-clés : langue anlaise -post-nationalism . Résumé : Nationalism informs our ideas about language, culture, identity, nation, and State--ideas that are being challenged by globalization and an emerging new economy. As language, culture, and identity are commodified, multilingualism becomes a factor in the mobility of people, ideas and goods--and in their value.In Paths to Post-Nationalism, Monica Heller shows how hegemonic discourses of language, identity, and the nation-State are destabilized under new political and economic conditions. These processes, she argues, put us on the path to post-nationalism. Applying a fine-grained ethnographic analysis to the notion of "francophone Canada" from the 1970s to the present, Heller examines sociolinguistic practices in workplaces, schools, community associations, NGOs, State agencies, and sites of tourism and performance across francophone North America and Europe. Her work shows how the tensions of late modernity produce competing visions of social organization and competing sources of legitimacy in attempts to re-imagine--or resist re-imagining--who we are.
