Nationalism informs our ideas about language, culture, identity,
nation, and State--ideas that are being challenged by globalization
and an emerging new economy. As language, culture, and identity are
commodified, multilingualism becomes a factor in the mobility of
people, ideas and goods--and in their value.
In Paths to Post-Nationalism, Monica Heller shows how hegemonic
discourses of language, identity, and the nation-State are
destabilized under new political and economic conditions. These
processes, she argues, put us on the path to post-nationalism.
Applying a fine-grained ethnographic analysis to the notion of
"francophone Canada" from the 1970s to the present, Heller examines
sociolinguistic practices in workplaces, schools, community
associations, NGOs, State agencies, and sites of tourism and
performance across francophone North America and Europe. Her work
shows how the tensions of late modernity produce competing visions
of social organization and competing sources of legitimacy in
attempts to re-imagine--or resist re-imagining--who we are.
