This book presents the narratives and voices of young, mostly male
practitioners of hip hop culture in Delhi, India. The author
suggests that practitioners understand hip hop as both a thing that
can be appropriated and authenticated, made real, in the local and
global context and as a way that enables them to transform their
lives and futures in the rapidly globalising urban environments of
Delhi. The dancers, artists, musicians and cultural theorists that
feature in this book construct a multitude of voices in their
narratives to formulate their 'own' transcultural voices within
global hip hop. Through a combination of linguistic ethnography,
sociolinguistics and discourse studies, the book addresses issues
including gender and sexuality, identity construction and global
culture.
This book brings together a range of hip hop scholars,
artists and activists working on Hip Hop in the Global North
and South with the goal of advancing Hiphopographic
research as a critical methodology
with critical fieldwork methods that can provide
a critical perspective of our world. The
authors’ focus in this volume is to present an anthology of
essays that expand the remit of Hiphopography as an approach to the
study of Hip Hop that is not only sensitive to the social,
economic, political and cultural lives of Hip Hop Culture
participants as interpreters and theorists, but one that continues
to humanize the “whole person” behind the decks, on the mic,
rocking on the linoleum floor, painting in front of a wall, and
seeking that Knowledge of Self. This book will be relevant to
Hip Hop scholars in fields such as cultural studies and history,
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and ethnography, and race
studies, while Hip Hop heads themselves will find parts of this
book that represent their culture in ethical and informative ways.
This edited book brings together humanities and social sciences
scholars from the various disciplines at the nexus of discourse
studies and ethnography to reflect on questions of institutional
practices and their political concerns. Institutional order plays
an important role in structuring power relations in society. Yet,
contrary to common understandings of structure, institutional
orders are far from fixed or stable. They constantly change, and
they are resisted and reimagined by social actors. The 20 studies
collected in this edited volume develop the notion of
institutionality as an overarching perspective to explore how
institutional actors and institutional practices order and reorder
power in societies across the globe. Thereby the chapters pay
special attention to the fluidity, volatility, fragility, and
ambiguity of order, and consequently to its claims to authority.
Employing a broad range of discourse analytic and ethnographic
methodologies, the studies show how institutions are discursively
and materially constructed, defined, represented and how they are
made relevant and become powerful – or how they are resisted,
transformed or lose significance – in interaction. Readers will
obtain nuanced insights into ways in which differently positioned
social actors engage in struggles about how institutions can be
imagined and enacted across several domains, such as workplace
interactions, architecture, mass-media representations or
organisational publicity. This book will be of interest to readers
in Applied Linguistics, Discourse and Society, Critical Discourse
Analysis, Political Theory and Communication Studies.

In the current era of globalisation, big-C Culture loses analytical
purchase. However, research, as well as intercultural training and
education, continues to take for granted a more or less fixed idea
of culture. This volume updates intercultural communication, both
its theory and its application, by utilising a theory of scales in
order to understand how culture gets contextualised as speakers
communicate and negotiate meaning with each other. As succinctly
captured in the title of this volume, it is suggested that research
can `downscale culture' analytically: culture might be, but also
might not be, relevant in an interaction. The 14 chapters brought
together here explore the possibilities of such downscaling from a
wide range of core themes in intercultural communication studies
and from various research traditions, including interactional
sociolinguistics, critical geography, conversation analysis,
critical discourse analysis, textual analysis, multimodal analysis
and nexus analysis.
