<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/rethinking-politeness-with-henri-bergson-9780197637869?cc=us&lang=en&">Rethinking Politeness with Henri Bergson</a>,
</i>edited by Alessandro Duranti</b>, presents the first English translation of a little-known essay by Henri Bergson,
<i>Discours sur la politesse</i>, and critically engages with the ideas in Bergson's text through a series of essays from leading scholars in the study of language practices. Collectively, the essays untangle the ideological, socio-historical, and material
conditions that shape notions of the ideal social agent, and propose a rethinking of politeness that serves as a bridge to larger issues of civility, citizenship, and democracy.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-last-language-on-earth-9780197509920">The Last Language on Earth: Linguistic Utopianism in the Philippines</a>,
</i>by Piers Kelly</b>, is an ethnographic history of the disputed Eskayan language, spoken today by an isolated upland community living on the island of Bohol in the southern Philippines. Marshalling theories of nationalism, authenticity, and language ideology,
along with comparisons to events across highland Southeast Asia, Kelly offers a convincing account of this linguistic mystery and also shows its broader relevance to linguistic anthropology.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The series <a href="https://global.oup.com/academic/content/series/o/oxford-studies-in-the-anthropology-of-language-osantl/?cc=us&lang=en&prevNumResPerPage=20&prevSortField=1&sortField=8&resultsPerPage=20&start=0">
Oxford Studies in the Anthropology of Language</a> is devoted to works from a wide array of scholarly traditions that treat linguistic practices as forms of social action. The series publishes two types of books: (1) those in which language itself is the main
object of inquiry; and (2) those in which linguistic analysis is used as a method to shed light on other objects of inquiry. Books in this series are ethnographically rich and innovative in form and content, focusing on such issues as: linguistic inequality,
old and new literacies, linguistic relativity, the contexts of linguistic change, language socialization, gendered language use, institutional discourse, agency and language, language contact, language endangerment and revitalization, poetics and performance,
language ideologies, narrative analysis, and the aesthetics of language use. <o:p>
