Download or read book Language Ideologies written by Bambi B. Schieffelin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-05-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Language ideologies" are cultural representations, whether explicit or implicit, of the intersection of language and human beings in a social world. Mediating between social structures and forms of talk, such ideologies are not only about language. Rather, they link language to identity, power, aesthetics, morality and epistemology. Through such linkages, language ideologies underpin not only linguistic form and use, but also significant social institutions and fundamental nottions of person and community. The essays in this new volume examine definitions and conceptions of language in a wide range of societies around the world. Contributors focus on how such defining activity organizes language use as well as institutions such as religious ritual, gender relations, the nation-state, schooling, and law. Beginning with an introductory survey of language ideology as a field of inquiry, the volume is organized in three parts. Part I, "Scope and Force of Dominant Conceptions of Language," focuse on the propensity of cultural models of language developed in one social domain to affect linguistic and social behavior across domains. Part II, "Language Ideology in Institutions of Power," continues the examination of the force of specific language beliefs, but narrows the scope to the central role that language ideologies play in the functioning of particular institutions of power such as schooling, the law, or mass media. Part III, "Multiplicity and Contention among Ideologies," emphasizes the existence of variability, contradiction, and struggles among ideologies within any given society. This will be the first collection of work to appear in this rapidly growing field, which bridges linguistic and social theory. It will greatly interest linguistic anthropologists, social and cultural anthropologists, sociolinguists, historians, cultural studies, communications, and folklore scholars.

Download or read book Engaging Contradictions written by Charles R. Hale and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-05-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars in many fields increasingly find themselves caught between the academy, with its demands for rigor and objectivity, and direct engagement in social activism. Some advocate on behalf of the communities they study; others incorporate the knowledge and leadership of their informants directly into the process of knowledge production. What ethical, political, and practical tensions arise in the course of such work? In this wide-ranging and multidisciplinary volume, leading scholar-activists map the terrain on which political engagement and academic rigor meet. Contributors: Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Edmund T.

Download or read book Weapons and Hope written by Freeman J. Dyson and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1985 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British-born physicist Dyson examines the historical and cultural context in which nuclear weapons were made and argues that the problems they pose are part of the history of man and war, and that their control lies within our cultural, political and technical possibilities. Along with moving personal memories of war and pacifism, he offers insightful comments on the Soviet Union and the issue of verification. He concludes that the demands of military realism are compatible with the moral imperative to move away from nuclear weapons, and that a radical shift toward non-nuclear strategy can exist beside the realities of Soviet power.
