Remix Multilingualism: Hip Hop, Ethnography and Performing Marginalized Voices: Advances in Sociolinguistics

Autor Dr Quentin Williams
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2019
"Remixing multilingualism" is conceptualised in this book as engaging in the linguistic act of using, combining and manipulating multilingual forms. It is about creating new ways of 'doing' multilingualism through cultural acts and identities and involving a process that invokes bricolage. This book is an ethnographic study of multilingual remixing achieved by highly multilingual participants in the local hip hop culture of Cape Town. In globalised societies today previously marginalized speakers are carving out new and innovating spaces to put on display their voices and identities through the creative use of multilingualism.This book contributes to the development of new conceptual insights and theoretical developments on multilingualism in the global South by applying the notions of stylization, performance, performativity, entextualisation and enregisterment. This takes place through interviews, performance analysis and interactional analysis, showing how young multilingual speakers stage different personae, styles, registers and language varieties.

Recenzii

Williams' book is a state-of-the-art document of the current scholarly interest in the sociolinguistics of global hip hop ... An important case study for students of language, culture and society.
Quentin Williams both broadens and connects two major areas of research: the sociolinguistics of multilingualism and hip hop studies ... Remix Multilingualism provides deep insights into the local Cape hip hop scene while demonstrating its important relationship with global hip hop.
Highly recommended.
Hip Hop messes up with language, it takes it to a whole nother level, where the poetic is mixed with the political, where the global and the local meet in a space of métissage, and where the familiar is so worked-on that it becomes unfamiliar. Grounded in the multilingual, the ethnographic and the marginalized, Remix Multilingualism shows us the power of (Global) Hip Hop (Language) and why we need to have our ears to the ground and hear it. WORD!
Remix Multilingualism is the book we've been waiting for ever since 1994 when the 'new' South Africa enshrined its eleven official languages policy in the Constitution. Williams' clear, scholarly vision and rigorous, ethnographic labor in the Hip Hop vineyards of Kuilsriver have yielded a master text which demonstrates the rich multilingualism of marginalized voices in South Africa (and by extension, elsewhere in the Global South). It is a major contribution to the fields of Hip Hop studies and Multilingualism and a must-read for scholars and teachers alike.
An exciting and rich multi-sited linguistic ethnography of marginality in the South and its multilingual (re)mediation. Quentin Williams has (re)mixed a tantalizing recipe for understanding how lives and selves may be materialized in and through Linguistic Citizenship.
This is a dope book. Quentin Williams - this Kaalvoet Laaitie vannie Lavis - nails the ways Hip Hop is a driving force in remixing multilingualism, doen your ding, shifting the raciolinguistic politics of multilingualism. This vital book is not only about remixing linguistic resources in South Africa but about remixing how we think about multilingualism. Read it and remix.
Remix Multilingualism takes readers into the heart of Cape Hip Hop's rich multilingual politics in a detailed ethnographic study that lays the groundwork for rethinking hegemonic understandings of' 'race', 'gender' and identity politics. The strength of Williams' work is that it pushes debates about 'coloured' and 'black' identities, as well as linguistic performances of these identities beyond the confines of what the academe has considered worthy of academic study in the South African context and beyond apartheid-era thinking about 'race', which endears in a country that remains racially divided.
