The Language of Money and Debt: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Editat de Annabelle Mooney, Evi Sifakien Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 iul 2017
This book analyses the language that ordinary people employ when discussing money, debt and financial behaviour. It documents and critiques this language from an array of disciplinary perspectives, with chapters on children’s books, government infomercials, television poverty porn, the emotional experience of being indebted, and more. In doing so, it addresses common underlying questions concerning definitions of money and value, and scrutinises how people construct, negotiate and articulate meaning in these domains. This wide-ranging edited collection will be of interest to students and scholars of linguistics, sociology, communication, literature and anthropology.

Caracteristici
Compares the models with which lay individuals work with ‘official’ models of money and the economy Provides an important perspective on lay discourses and behaviours with money, something of great value to those who would encourage ‘good’ financial behaviour and economic literacy Makes clear that while money may be conceptualised as a thing it is rather an index of a range of other emotions, beliefs, relationships and social structures
