Abstract:
A vibrant and surprisingly powerful civic and political movement for an
independent Catalonia has brought renewed urgency to questions about what it
means, personally and politically, to speak or not to speak Catalan and to
claim Catalan identity. In this book, Kathryn Woolard develops a framework for
analyzing ideologies of linguistic authority and uses it to illuminate the
politics of language in Spain and Catalonia, where Catalan jostles with
Castilian for legitimacy. Longitudinal research across decades of political
autonomy contextualizes this ethnographic study of the social meaning of
Catalan in the 21st century. Part I lays out the ideologies of linguistic
authenticity, anonymity, and naturalism that typically underpin linguistic
authority in the modern western world, and gives an overview of a shift in the
ideological grounding of linguistic authority in contemporary Catalonia. Part
II examines discourses in the media surrounding three public linguistic
controversies: an immigrant president's linguistic competence, a municipal
festival, and an international book fair. Part III explores individuals'
linguistic practices and views, drawing on classroom ethnographies and
interviews with two generations of young people from the same high school. The
book argues that there is an ongoing shift at both public and personal levels
away from the ethnolinguistic authenticity that powered relations in the early
transition to political autonomy, and toward new discourses of anonymity,
rooted cosmopolitanism, and authenticity understood as a project rather than a
matter of origins and essence. This shift is reflected in the current
sovereignty movement.
