This volume presents evidence about how we understand communication
in changing times, and proposes that such understandings may
contribute to the development of pedagogy for teaching and
learning. It expands current debates on multilingualism, asking
which signs are in use and in action, and what are their social,
political, and historical implications. The volume’s
starting-point is Bakhtin’s ‘heteroglossia’, a key concept in
understanding the tensions, conflicts, and multiple voices within,
among, and between those signs. The chapters provide illuminating
accounts of language practices as they bring into play, both in
practice and in pedagogy, voices which index students’
localities, social histories, circumstances, and identities. The
book documents the performance of linguistic repertoires in an era
of profound social change caused by the shifting nature of
nation-states, increased movement of people across territories, and
growing digital communication. “Our thinking on language and
multilingualism is expanding rapidly. Up until recently we have
tended to regard languages as bounded entities, and multilingualism
has been understood as knowing more than one language. Working with
the concept of heteroglossia, researchers are developing
alternative perspectives that treat languages as sets of resources
for expressing meaning that can be drawn on by speakers in
communicatively productive ways in different contexts. These
perspectives raise fundamental questions about the myriad of ways
of knowing and using language(s). This collection brings together
the contributions of many of the key researchers in the field. It
will provide an authoritative reference point for contemporary
interpretations of ‘heteroglossia’ and valuable accounts of how
‘translanguaging’ can be explored and exploited in the fields
of education and cultural studies.” Professor Constant Leung,
King’s College London, UK. "From rap and hip hop to taxi cabs,
and from classrooms to interactive online learning environments,
each of the chapters in this volume written by well-known and
up-and-coming scholars provide fascinating accounts drawing on a
wide diversity of rich descriptive data collected in heteroglossic
contexts around the globe. Creese and Blackledge have brought
together a compelling collection that builds upon and expands
Bakhtin’s construct of heteroglossia. These scholars help to move
the field away from the view of languages as separate bounded
system by providing detailed examples and expert analyses of the
ways bilinguals and multilinguals draw upon their linguistic
repertoires for effective and meaningful communication." Wayne E.
Wright, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA.
