Multilingualism is a meaningful and capacious idea about human
meaning-making practice, one with a promising, tumultuous, and
flawed present - and a future worth caring for in research and
public life. In this book, David Gramling presents original new
insights into the topical subject of multilingualism, describing
its powerful social, economic and political discourses. On one
hand, it is under acute pressure to bear the demands of new global
supply-chains, profit margins, and supranational unions, and on the
other it is under pressure to make way for what some consider to be
better descriptors of linguistic practice, such as translanguaging.
The book shows how multilingualism is usefully able to encompass
complex, divergent, and sometimes opposing experiences and ideas,
in a wide array of planetary contexts - fictitious and real,
political and social, North and South, colonial and decolonial,
individual and collective, oppressive and liberatory, embodied and
prosthetic, present and past.
