Download or read book Countervocalities Shifting Language Hierarchies on Corsica written by Alexander Mendes and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean island of Corsica, a French territory, experiences mobility in the form of locals’ mass exodus to the Continent, the arrival of immigrants at rates similar to Paris, and a booming tourist industry with millions of visitors each year. What, then, are the multilingual dynamics on the island—languages emerging from above (French), a middle ground (Corsican), and sideways (languages of immigrants and tourists)? What multilingual subjectivities are articulated? Mendes analyzes competing conceptualizations of linguistic multiplicity, what he calls countervocalities, in which languages are constantly rearranging in variously imagined hierarchies. Countervocalities explores different dimensions of institutional multilingualism, namely those related to policies, practices, and ideologies within and extending from education settings. The chapters address reclamation, imposition, and erasure of different languages on Corsica, moving from inside the school, to artefacts from the schoolscape, to discourses about language teaching. The study fruitfully analyzes an array of interactional and artefactual data types. This productive alternation offers a cross-section of attitudes toward and representations of multilingual dynamics while foregrounding the role of mobility and language in understandings of place and what counts as local.

Download or read book The Nature of Space written by Milton Santos and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Nature of Space, pioneering Afro-Brazilian geographer Milton Santos attends to globalization writ large and how local and global orders intersect in the construction of space. Santos offers a theory of human space based on relationships between time and ontology. He argues that when geographers consider the inseparability of time and space, they can then transcend fragmented realities and partial truths without trying to theorize their way around them. Based on these premises, Santos examines the role of space, which he defines as indissoluble systems of objects and systems of actions in social processes, while providing a geographic contribution to the production of a critical social theory.

Download or read book Culture and Space written by Joel Bonnemaison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-06-24 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon thirty years work which took him to Madagascar, New Hebrides, Australia and New Caledonia, Joel Bonnemaison's work presents an original and refreshing alternative to the more traditional Anglo-American approach to cultural geography. Bonnemaison provides a true kind of anthro-geography as he explores questions around the geography of culture and the anthropology of space. With an introduction by John Agnew, Department Chair, Dept. of Geography, UCLA. 'Bonnemaison's perspective is infinitely more interesting than most Anglo-American cultural geography.' - Professor Mike Hefferman, University of Nottingham 'A very stimulating introduction to cultural geography.' - Professor Paul Claval 'The translation into English of Joel Bonnemaison's "La Geographie Culturelle" is a major event. In this gem of a book, Bonnemaison makes a powerful case for an entirely new form of cultural geography that helps us make sense of both Western and non-Western societies.' - Mike Heffernan, Nottingham University.
Download or read book Les diasporas dans le monde contemporain written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2006 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les diasporas composent l'une des formes de relations sociales qui laisse imaginer les modalités en émergence de notre rapport au monde, tant du point de vue de la relation à l'Autre que du lien à l'Etat. Allégeance, retour, réseau, nationalisme, exil, médias communautaires, globalisation, appartenance, temps long, héritage, identification sont autant de thèmes et de notions qui ont cristallisé la réflexion de spécialistes, français et étrangers, des diasporas. Cet ouvrage se donne pour but d'offrir au lecteur la photographie d'un champ de recherche établie au fil d'un dialogue scientifique de trois ans sur le thème " Interroger les diasporas, comprendre les constances et les mobilités ". Outre l'élaboration d'une problématique, les textes restituent les contours dynamiques d'un domaine d'étude avec la diversité d'approches à laquelle " la ferveur diasporique " a donné lieu. On ne peut que constater la fortune du terme " diaspora " et son utilisation de plus en plus élargie. Dire la diaspora c'est dire la dispersion, mais l'usage décuplé du terme renouvelle aussi les interrogations sur cette organisation sociale et la dimension spatiale qu'elle implique. C'est sous cet angle que sont abordées, entre autres, les diasporas protestante, turque, africaine, grecque, roumaine, caribéenne, arménienne et juive.
Download or read book Warm Climates and Western Medicine written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally assumed that tropical medicine only emerged as a medical specialism in the late nineteenth century under the aegis of men like Patrick Manson and Ronald Ross. However, recent research (much of it brought together for the first time in this volume) shows that a distinctive medicine of 'warm climates' came into existence much earlier in areas like the West-Indies, Indonesia and India. Europeans' health needs were one imperative, but this was more than just the medicine of Europe shipped overseas. Contact with non-Western medical ideas and practices was also a stimulus, as was Europe's encounter with unfamiliar environments and peoples. These essays provide valuable insights into the early history of tropical medicine and from the standpoint of several European powers. They examine the kinds of medicine practised, the responses to local diseases and environments and diseases, the nature of the medical constituencies that developed, and the relationship between the old medicine of 'warm climates' and the emerging tropical medicine of the late nineteenth century. The volume as a whole expands the parameters for the discussion of the evolution of Western medicine and opens up new perspectives on European science and society overseas.
