Abstract:

Over time and across a highly complexified and enigmatic glocal space,
reminiscent human existential and survival dynamics lay bare incessant
(in)advertent attempts to accommodate adversities so as to guarantee
harmonious existence. This notwithstanding, coping in such a nexus of
uncertainty wrought by ideological and behavioral inconsistencies has
constituted a veritable challenge. Through an interdisciplinary
perspective, this compendium hinges on cutting-edge approaches and
delves into the sensitive issues of stereotyping, stigmatisation and
identity (re/de)construction across glocal space.
Drawing from literary, cross-cultural and linguistic representations,
the contributors forage the underpinnings of these concepts especially
in complex homogenous, multilingual, multiethnic and typically
polarised communities of practice wherein members demonstrate a
veritably high degree of sensitivity with regard to such issues. The
contributions establish the fact that human harmonious existence tends
to be at the centre of disparate endeavours; that in (un)conscious
attempts to survive, be it through physical relocation, the
establishment of novel solidarity ties and/or the consolidation of
existent ones, self-assertion through education, socioeconomic,
religious or political manoeuverings, community members are obfuscated
by a plethora of challenges that engender divergent attitudes
reminiscent in questionable ethno-sociolinguistic behaviour, identity
(re/de)construction and other self-assertive reinforcement practices
such as translinguistic representations.
