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

Virtual Aesthetics in Architecture Designing in Mixed Realities

Virtual Aesthetics in Architecture: Designing in Mixed Realities presents a curated selection of projects and texts contributed by leading international architects and designers who are using virtual reality technologies in their design process. It triggers discussion and debate on exploring the aesthetic potential and establishing its language as an expressive medium in architectural design. Although virtual reality is not new and the technology has evolved rapidly the aesthetic potential of the medium is still emerging and there is a great deal more to explore. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current use of virtual reality technologies in the architectural design process. Contributions are presented in six parts fully illustrated with over 150 images. Recent projects presented are distributed in five themes: introduction to mixed realities; space and form; context and ambiguity; materiality and movement; body and social. Each theme includes richly illustrated essays by leading academics and practitioners including those from Zaha Hadid Architects and MVRDV detailing their design process using data-driven methodologies. Virtual Aesthetics in Architecture expands the use of technology per se and focuses on how architecture can benefit from its aesthetic potential during the design process. A must-read for practitioners academics and students interested in cutting-edge digital design. | Virtual Aesthetics in Architecture Designing in Mixed Realities

Racism in Contemporary Germany Islamophobia in East and West

Racism in Contemporary Germany Islamophobia in East and West

This book presents a critical and empirically informed examination of Islamophobia and related issues of racism and nationalism in Germany today with particular attention to the East/West distinction. The authors representing several disciplines such as anthropology sociology and media and literary studies situate the topic in the global and German context of the 2015-16 migration crisis and its aftermath and of the ongoing transformations seen in the postsocialist regions of the European Union. Since the 2015-16 refugee crisis illiberal leaders and parties within Europe have instrumentalized Islamophobia in an attempt to dislodge the traditional political elites. Strikingly such illiberal movements have been most successful in the formerly socialist areas of the EU. This is mirrored within Germany itself where political formations with an Islamophobic agenda remain more popular in the East than in the West. This volume examines the reasons for this difference including not only the ideological heritage of Soviet-dominated socialism but also the effects of western interventions in the formerly socialist areas in and beyond Germany since the end of the Cold War. Some Islamophobic and other hateful tendencies were in fact introduced from and continue to prosper also in the West. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies. | Racism in Contemporary Germany Islamophobia in East and West
