Identity through a Language Lens Hardback
Edited by Kamila Ciepiela
Part of the Lodz Studies in Language series
Hardback
Description
«This collection of articles is a sociolinguistic response to the recent explosion of scholarly interest in issues of identity.
Identity is central to all human beings as we are all concerned with how to conceive of ourselves, present ourselves and comprehend our relationships with others.
The book tackles the problem of how personal identity is made visible and intelligible to others through language, and how this may be constrained.
Part One, Emblematic identities, focuses on the construction of self-definitions based on various forms of group identities, including national and ethnic ones.
Part Two, Multicultural Identities, looks at negotiation of identities in multicultural contexts involving relations of power, drawing on examples from Europe and the Americas.
Finally, Part Three, Emergent Identities, collects empirical studies based on a close reading of texts in which identities are being articulated and negotiated.» (Hanna Pułaczewska, University of Regensburg)
