Language, Ideology, and the Human: New Interventions redefines the
critical picture of language as a system of signs and ideological
tropes inextricably linked to human existence. Offering reflections
on the status, discursive possibilities, and political, ideological
and practical uses of oral or written word in both contemporary
society and the work of previous thinkers, this book traverses
South African courts, British clinics, language schools in East
Timor, prison cells, cinemas, literary criticism textbooks and
philosophical treatises in order to forge a new, diversified
perspective on language, ideology, and what it means to be human.
This truly international and interdisciplinary collection explores
the implications that language, always materialising in the form of
a historically and ideologically identifiable discourse, as well as
the concept of ideology itself, have for the construction,
definition and ways of speaking about 'the human'. Thematically
arranged and drawing together the latest research from experts
around the world, Language, Ideology, and the Human offers a view
of language, ideology and the human subject that eschews
simplifications and binary definitions. With contributions from
across the social sciences and humanities, this book will appeal to
scholars from a range of disciplines, including sociology, cultural
studies, anthropology, law, linguistics, literary studies,
philosophy and political science.
