In the current climate of extreme nationalism and fear-mongering, a
new politics for a socially just world is needed more than ever.
Featuring internationally-renowned scholars, Applied Linguistics
and Politics explores how innovative theories, methodologies and
pedagogies in applied linguistics can address the political
challenges and issues arising in the 21st century. Adopting a
Gramscian theoretical framework, the five parts of this volume
focus on the various ways in which the political is discursively
and materially realized in its dialogic co-constructions within the
media, the economy, culture and identity, affect, and education.
Examining the power instantiations of sociolinguistic and semiotic
practices in society from a variety of critical perspectives, this
book questions how applied linguists can respond to, and challenge,
current discourses of issues such as militarism, nationalism,
Islamophobia, sexism, racism and the free market, and suggests
future directions for research. Making use of a range of
methodologies from discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, semiotics
and political science, Applied Linguistics and Politics
demonstrates how linguistics can intervene in the political and
help mobilize and organize for an economically and socially just
society.
