Verbal performances are often encountered in the media where they
are used to embody characters or social archetypes. Performed
voices define the norm as well as the linguistic Others and by
doing so circulate associated values and linguistic ideologies.
This book explores the idea that, far from simply being exercises
in verbal skill and flair, performances of social, ethnic or
gendered voices in the media not only have the power to accomplish
ideological work, they are also sites of linguistic tension and
negotiation. Critically examining performances of French voices in
the media, this book raises the following questions: - How are
repertoires of voices constructed and subsequently perpetuated in
the media? - How do the stereotypic personae these voices
contribute to build become familiar to national as well as
transnational audiences? - How do such performed voices reproduce
hegemonic ideologies of standard and non-standard languages and
participate in the perpetuation of social discriminations? - How
are these performed voices commodified into cultural products of
otherness that may later be reclaimed by stigmatized communities?
Following an innovative framework which allows for analysis of
performances of varied voices and their impact in the media sphere,
Voices in the Media offers a new approach to the linguistics of
media performance.
