Drawing on a range of disciplines from within the humanities and
social sciences, Multilingual Memories addresses questions of
remembering and forgetting from an explicitly multilingual
perspective. From a museum at Victoria Falls in Zambia to a
Japanese-American internment in Arkansas, this book probes how the
medium of the communication of memories affirms social orders
across the globe. Applying linguistic landscape approaches to a
wide variety of monuments and memorials from around the world, this
book identifies how multilingualism (and its absence) contributes
to the inevitable partiality of public memorials. Using a number of
different methods, including multimodal discourse analysis, code
preferences, interaction orders, and indexicality, the chapters
explore how memorials have the potential to erase linguistic
diversity as much as they can entextualize multilingualism. With
examples from Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and North and
South America, this volume also examines the extent to which
multilingual memories legitimize not only specific discourses but
also individuals, particular communities, and ethno-linguistic
groups - often to the detriment of others.
