Abstract:

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.
