Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Literary works play a crucial role in modelling and conceptualising temporalities. This becomes particularly apparent in times of crises which put conventionalised temporal patterns and routines under pressure. During crises past present and future appear to collapse into each other and give way to temporal disjunction and rupture. Offering pluralised and context-sensitive approaches to temporalities in and of crises this volume explores how literature’s engagement with crises suggests both the need for and possibility of rethinking ‘time’. The volume is committed to examining the affordances of specific genres and their potential in pointing beyond temporalities of crises to facilitate a sense of futurity. Individual essays are grounded in recent theories of temporality and literary form which are related to novel advancements in ecocriticism queer studies affect theory and postcolonial studies. The chapters cover a broad range of examples from different literary genres to reveal the knowledge of literature about temporalities in and of crises. | Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Language in Society in Bangladesh and Beyond Voices of the Unheard in the Global South

Language in Society in Bangladesh and Beyond Voices of the Unheard in the Global South

This collection presents a holistic picture of the sociolinguistic landscape in Bangladesh offering a critical understanding of language ideologies and social inequalities in the country as they connect more widely to dynamics in the Global South. The book seeks to untangle the voices embedded in the language practices of a range of communities and professions in the region which have been little studied in the literature and encourage a rethinking of the relationships between language and nationality class ethnicity race and gender. Highlighting perspectives from established and emerging researchers and drawing on a wide range of theoretical approaches and methodologies the volume is organized around such key themes as bilingualism and diglossia; language variation across domains; language and identity in literature; and the interconnectedness of language identity and globalization. Taken together the collection calls attention to the socially and spatially situated nature of language practices in Bangladesh and in turn the ways in which scholars in the Global South make sense of the sociolinguistic landscape at both the local and global levels. This book will appeal to scholars working in sociolinguistics particularly those working on language policy language and identity language variation and in or about the Global South. | Language in Society in Bangladesh and Beyond Voices of the Unheard in the Global South
