In the face of the prevailing climate of extreme nationalism and fear-mongering, there is an urgent need for a new politics that champions social justice. Applied Linguistics and Politics, a groundbreaking volume featuring esteemed scholars from around the world, delves into the potential of innovative theories, methodologies, and pedagogies in applied linguistics to address the pressing political challenges and issues of the 21st century. Adopting a Gramscian theoretical framework, this comprehensive work explores the intricate ways in which the political is discursively and materially realized through dialogic co-constructions within media, economy, culture, identity, affect, and education. By examining the power dynamics of sociolinguistic and semiotic practices in society from diverse critical perspectives, the book raises crucial questions about how applied linguists can respond to and challenge current discourses surrounding militarism, nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism, and the free market. It also offers insightful suggestions for future research directions aimed at mobilizing and organizing for an economically and socially just society.
Applied Linguistics and Politics employs a diverse range of methodologies, including discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, semiotics, and political science, to demonstrate how linguistics can intervene in the political realm and contribute to the mobilization and organization for a more equitable and just society. Through its comprehensive exploration of the intersections between language, power, and social change, this book provides valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and activists seeking to build a more inclusive and progressive world.
