That is, inevitably, an undertaking fraught with opportunities for failure. I am a linguist by training and profession – a broad-minded linguist, I think – but inevitably more attuned to the interests that arise from my field than to neighbouring ones, despite my best efforts. The final chapter will consider what exactly these intellec- tual boundaries themselves mean in terms of identity. The Foreword to my book Limiting the Arbitrary (2000) explains that it attempts a historical understanding of the distinction between the nat- ural and the arbitrary in language, upon which my earlier Eloquence and Power (1987) had relied too uncritically. The present book is, on one level, an effort to deal with the phenomena treated in the 1987 work, but with the natural–arbitrary dichotomy taken away, and with certain other unduly powerful concepts declawed. The most obvious of these are ‘power’ itself, which in those late years of the Cold War still resounded with echoes of Gramsci and Foucault, even in the writing of someone with neither Marxist nor post-structuralist theoretical com- mitments; and ‘class’, the very cornerstone of social inquiry, which before 1989 most of us were able to accept uncritically as an analytical category, but after the events of that year had to admit was a social construct of a highly ideological order, in which we as analysts, rather than the members of the ‘classes’ themselves, were doing most of the constructing. The result of modifying these concepts is that the phenomena which make up language standardisation no longer appear so exceptional as they are portrayed in Eloquence and Power, but become difficult to distin- guish from language generally. This has an effect on our understanding of language itself, making it appear no longer to be a decontextualised system of mental calculation or signification, the ‘social’ (or more pre- cisely, human) consequences of which are mere side effects. Manifesting identity, and even more importantly, interpreting identity, come to be seen as central to the very existence and functioning of language. This is not an entirely new view, but one with close precedents in some schools of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century thinking, and more distant precursors extending back to antiquity. Its current x Preface xi resuscitation is having an impact on a wide range of areas concerned with language, including within linguistics the study of sociolinguistics, language acquisition, discourse and pragmatics. But well beyond lin- guistics, the view of identity being rooted in language and vice versa has been taking on growing importance in anthropology, education, sociology, political science, literary and cultural studies, and many other areas besides. My greatest debt of gratitude is to the Leverhulme Trust for the Research Fellowship it awarded me in 1999–2000. Other help has come in the form of grants from the Faculty Group of Arts, Divinity and Music and from the Moray Endowment Fund, the University of Edinburgh, for research on language and identity in Lebanon in the spring term of 1998, research leave from the Faculty of Arts of the University of Edinburgh in the spring term of 1998 and the summer term of 2002. The first research that led to this book was carried out on a Research Grant Award from the University of Hong Kong in 1995–96. I am grateful as well to colleagues and students at the universities of Edinburgh and Hong Kong, the American University of Beirut and the SEAMEO Regional Language Centre in Singapore, who have contributed enormously to my understanding of language and identity.

  • LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

Versions of the story of Anggun Nan Tungga exist in manuscript and printed form, and are performed as dramas and sung narratives in two parts of West Sumatra: the coastal region of Tiku and Pariaman and the inland area around Payakumbuh. Stgobang is the sung narrative form heard in the Payakumbuh area. It is performed on festive occasions by paid story-tellers called tukang s'igobang,, who le a r n th e s to r y m ainly from oral sources.
