Critical Sociolinguistics
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-29352-6 (ISBN)
Challenging disciplinary power dynamics in critical sociolinguistics, this book is an experiment testing new ways of producing knowledge on language and society. Critically discussing central sociolinguistic concepts from critique to political economy, labor to media, education to capitalism, each chapter features a number of scholars offering their distinct social and political perspectives on the place played by language in the social fabric. Through its theoretical, epistemological, and methodological breadth, the volume foregrounds political alliances in how language is known and explored by scholars writing from specific geopolitical spaces that come with diverse political struggles and dynamics of power. Allowing for a diversity of genres, debates, controversies, fragments and programmatic manifestos, the volume prefigures a new mode of knowledge production that multiplies perspectives and starts practicing the more inclusive, just and equal worlds that critical sociolinguists envision.
Alfonso Del Percio is Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK. He explores the relationship between language, state power and political economy, with a focus on migration and the links between language, labor, and social inequality. Mi-Cha Flubacher is Lecturer and Research Associate at the ZHAW Department of Applied Linguistics, Institute of Linguistic Competence, Switzerland. She is interested in issues of multilingualism and work, migration and language, and language, gender and race/ialisation and approaches these issues with an ethnographic lens.
