Abstract:

Drawing on a range of disciplines from within the humanities and social
sciences, "Multilingual Memories" addresses questions of remembering and
forgetting from an explicitly multilingual perspective. From a museum at
Victoria Falls in Zambia to a Japanese-American internment in Arkansas, this
book probes how the medium of the communication of memories affirms social
orders across the globe.

Applying linguistic landscape approaches to a wide variety of monuments and
memorials from around the world, this book identifies how multilingualism (and
its absence) contributes to the inevitable partiality of public memorials.
Using a number of different methods, including multimodal discourse analysis,
code preferences, interaction orders, and indexicality, the chapters explore
how memorials have the potential to erase linguistic diversity as much as they
can entextualize multilingualism. With examples from Africa, Asia,
Australasia, Europe, and North and South America, this volume also examines
the extent to which multilingual memories legitimize not only specific
discourses but also individuals, particular communities, and ethno-linguistic
groups – often to the detriment of others.
