Abstract:

This volume offers fresh, cutting-edge perspectives on issues of language and
citizenship by casting a critical light on a broad spectrum of geo-political
contexts – Flanders, Luxembourg, Singapore, South Africa, the UK - and
discourse data – policy documents, newspaper articles, ethnographic notes and
interviews, skits, bodies in protests. The main aims of the book are to
investigate institutional discourses about the relationship between
nationality and citizenship, and relate such discourses to more
ethnographically grounded interactions; tease out the multiple and often
conflicting meanings of citizenship; and explore the different
linguistic/semiotic guises that citizenship might take on in different
contexts. The book argues that the linguistic/discursive study of citizenship
should not only include critical investigations of political proposals about
language testing, but should also encompass the diverse, more or less mundane,
ways in which various social actors enact citizenship with the help of an
array of multivocal, material, and affective semiotic resources. Originally
published as a special issue of Journal of Language and Politics 14:3 (2015).
