Abstract:

Superdiversity has rendered familiar places, groups and practices
extraordinarily complex, and the traditional tools of analysis need
rethinking. In this book, Jan Blommaert investigates his own neighbourhood in
Antwerp, Belgium, from a complexity perspective. Using an innovative approach
to linguistic landscaping, he demonstrates how multilingual signs can be read
as chronicles documenting the complex histories of a place. The book can be
read in many ways: as a theoretical and methodological contribution to the
study of linguistic landscape; as one of the first monographs which addresses
the sociolinguistics of superdiversity; or as a revision of some of the
fundamental assumptions of social science through the use of chaos and
complexity theory as an inspiration for understanding the structures of
contemporary social life.
