Beskrivning

The concept of chronotopicity is increasingly used in sociolinguistic theorizing as a new way of looking at context and scale in studies of language, culture and identity. This volume brings together empirical work that puts flesh on the bones of this rather abstract chronotopical theorizing, especially focusing on the discursive construction of chronotopic identities. The case studies in this volume address chronotopic identity work in several sites (in Denmark, Indonesia, Mongolia, China, Belgium and The Netherlands). The book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, as well as related fields such as anthropology, sociology and cultural studies.

Recensioner i media

With a rich and stimulating array of case studies across peripheral sociolinguistic contexts and domains, Chronotopic Identity Work skillfully demonstrates the utility of the Bakhtinian concept of chronotope to understand and appreciate the complexity of contemporary society. It is an essential reading for researchers working on language, identity and globalization.
