Abstract:

In the current climate of extreme nationalism and fear-mongering, a new
politics for a socially just world is needed more than ever. Featuring
internationally-renowned scholars, "Applied Linguistics and Politics" explores
how innovative theories, methodologies and pedagogies in applied linguistics
can address the political challenges and issues arising in the 21st century.

Adopting a Gramscian theoretical framework, the five parts of this volume
focus on the various ways in which the political is discursively and
materially realized in its dialogic co-constructions within the media, the
economy, culture and identity, affect, and education. Examining the power
instantiations of sociolinguistic and semiotic practices in society from a
variety of critical perspectives, this book questions how applied linguists
can respond to, and challenge, current discourses of issues such as
militarism, nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism and the free market, and
suggests future directions for research.

Making use of a range of methodologies from discourse analysis,
sociolinguistics, semiotics and political science, "Applied Linguistics and
Politics" demonstrates how linguistics can intervene in the political and help
mobilize and organize for an economically and socially just society.
