Abstract:

Multilingualism is a meaningful and capacious idea about human meaning-making
practice, one with a promising, tumultuous, and flawed present - and a future
worth caring for in research and public life. In this book, David Gramling
presents original new insights into the topical subject of multilingualism,
describing its powerful social, economic and political discourses. On one
hand, it is under acute pressure to bear the demands of new global
supply-chains, profit margins, and supranational unions, and on the other it
is under pressure to make way for what some consider to be better descriptors
of linguistic practice, such as translanguaging. The book shows how
multilingualism is usefully able to encompass complex, divergent, and
sometimes opposing experiences and ideas, in a wide array of planetary
contexts - fictitious and real, political and social, North and South,
colonial and decolonial, individual and collective, oppressive and liberatory,
embodied and prosthetic, present and past.
 



Introduction; 1. Right-sizing multilingualism; 2. The problem of value (14k);
3. Justice and injustice; 4. Hospicing late mono/lingualism; Epilogue: the
multilingual undercommons.
