Subject: Pragmatics & Discourse (& Puppetry)
John Benjamins Publishing presents a new book:
Speaking in Other Voices. An ethnography of Walloon puppet theaters.
Joan GROSS (Oregon State University)
Pragmatics & Beyond NS 91
2001. xxviii, 341 pp. Hardcover
US & Canada: 1 58811 054 0 / USD 89.00
Rest of world: 90 272 5110 X / EUR 98.00
Linking actual instances of language use with structures of social power in
francophone Belgium, Gross outlines the history and contemporary
configuration of rod puppetry in Liège. The analysis of this working class
performance art moves between what occurs on and off stage. As puppeteers
speak in other voices, sometimes in Walloon and sometimes in French, they
create a sociolinguistic model based on 19th century renditions of medieval
texts, the voices of past puppeteers, and the language that surrounds them.
The high level of linguistic reflexivity created by the regional language
movement has led to frequent metalinguistic and metapragmatic commentaries
within the puppet shows. This complex speech genre embedded in social
context shows the influence of identity struggles: from local class
oppositions to imperial designs abroad. Keeping a tight focus on language,
"Speaking in Other Voices" examines the process of entextualization and
recontextualization as stories of war and religion are transmitted to
succeeding generations.
