Language Learning, Gender and Desire: CRITICAL LANGUAGE AND LITERACY STUDIES

Autor Kimie Takahashi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 ian 2013

Recenzii

Kimie Takahashi's investigation of the desires that lead Japanese women to learn English interrogates and ultimately challenges all kinds of stereotypes - Asian and Western, racial and sexual, cultural and linguistic. Original and thought-provoking, this book opens up important questions about second language learning, and makes a novel contribution to ongoing discussions of language, identity and difference. Deborah Cameron, University of Oxford, UK Language Learning, Gender and Desire is not just another scholarly monograph. It is refreshingly novel, for it treats a subject that until recently was taboo in applied linguistics - language learners' love lives and sex lives. It is ground-breaking, for it reveals how the English teaching industry in Japan manipulates its female consumers and sells renai (relationship) English. It is paradigm-changing, for it moves us away from 'motivation' as a 'factor' and towards socially and discursively constructed 'language desire'. Last but not least, it is deeply personal and extremely engaging, making the journey of five Japanese women learning English in Australia an unputdownable read. Aneta Pavlenko, Temple University, USA Romance blossoms, hearts break, and lives change as Japanese women go troppo in the Antipodes and tell the author all about their dreams, adventures and experiences of learning English as a second language. This delightful book is the definitive answer to the question, 'Is the concept of "desire" useful to students of language?'. The ethnography is wacky, the analysis is insightful and the writing is engaging and crisp. An absolute must-read for everyone interested in language and desire, language and learning, and language and globalization. Don Kulick, University of Chicago, USA
