Superdiversity has rendered familiar places, groups and practices
extraordinarily complex, and the traditional tools of analysis need
rethinking. In this book, Jan Blommaert investigates his own
neighbourhood in Antwerp, Belgium, from a complexity perspective.
Using an innovative approach to linguistic landscaping, he
demonstrates how multilingual signs can be read as chronicles
documenting the complex histories of a place. The book can be read
in many ways: as a theoretical and methodological contribution to
the study of linguistic landscape; as one of the first monographs
which addresses the sociolinguistics of superdiversity; or as a
revision of some of the fundamental assumptions of social science
through the use of chaos and complexity theory as an inspiration
for understanding the structures of contemporary social life.
