Scholars of language ideology have encouraged us to reflect on and
explore where social categories come from, how they have been
reproduced, and whether and to what extent they are relevant to
everyday interactional practices. Taking up on these issues, this
book focuses on how ethnicity has been semiotically constructed,
valued, and reproduced in Indonesia since Dutch colonial times, and
how this category is drawn upon in everyday talk. In doing so, this
book also seeks to engage with scholarship on superdiversity while
highlighting some points of engagement with work on ideas about
community. The book draws upon a broad range of scholarship on
Indonesia, recordings of Indonesian television from the mid-1990s
onwards, and recordings of the talk of Indonesian students living
in Japan. It is argued that some of the main mechanisms for the
reproduction and revaluation of ethnicity and its links with
linguistic form include waves of technological innovations that
bring people into contact (e.g. changes in transportation
infrastructure, introduction of print media, television, radio, the
internet, etc.), and the increasing use of one-to-many
participation frameworks such as school classrooms and the mass
media. In examining the talk of sojourning Indonesians the book
goes on to explore how ideologies about ethnicity are used to
establish and maintain convivial social relations while in Japan.
Maintaining such relationships is not a trivial thing and it is
argued that the pursuit of conviviality is an important practice
because of its relationship with broader concerns about eking out a
living.

blockbuster prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Set in
Middle-Earth 60 years before events in 'The Lord of the Rings', the
story follows the adventures of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin
Freeman), who, at the instigation of the wizard Gandalf (Ian
McKellen), suddenly finds himself co-opted into joining a company
of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help
reclaim the lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the clutches
of Smaug the dragon (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch). In this film,
while Gandalf heads south on his own, Bilbo, Thorin and the Dwarves
enter the treacherous Mirkwood Forest on their way to the mountain.
When they reach Lake-town Bilbo will have to perform the role he
was assigned at the start of the quest - to find a secret door that
will lead him to the lair of the dragon...

To do ethnography, a researcher must have rapport with research
subjects. But what is rapport? Ethnography and ethnographic methods
have increasingly become a feature of social inquiry in general and
sociolinguistics in particular, and rapport is generally considered
a prerequisite for fieldwork. And yet, unlike related terms such as
"communication" and "phatic communion," this concept has remained
largely unexamined. Reimagining Rapport turns a critical eye to the
use of the term "rapport" across disciplines. The collection
analyzes the very idea of rapport, both exploring how it has been
shaped by historical forces and actors within sociocultural
anthropology, and questioning its usefulness. Rather than viewing
the term as simply denoting a type of positive social relationship
that needs to be formed between researcher and consultant before
research can begin, this book invites us to reimagine rapport
theoretically, methodologically, and meta-methodologically. Zane
Goebel and other leading sociolinguists challenge readers to think
about how rapport has been constructed within these disciplines,
and ultimately to see rapport as an emergent, co-constructed social
relationship that is actively built during situated multimodal
encounters. The contributors collectively examine the role of
ideology and mediation in the construction of rapport, and argue
that reconceptualizing research-subject relationships is essential
for establishing more sophisticated ways of understanding,
interpreting, and representing research context. A valuable
resource for scholars and students of sociolinguistics and
linguistic anthropology-as well as for others engaged in
ethnographic fieldwork-Reimagining Rapport is the first collection
to provide an in-depth investigation of this critically important
but previously unexamined concept.
