Available online at www.mmg.mpg.de/diversities and www.unesco.org/shs/diversities Super-diversity: elements of an emerging perspective By Karel ArnAut max Planck institute for the Study of religious and Ethnic Diversity Abstract this paper is an attempt to reflect upon diversity in contemporary globalising society from within the disciplinary frontier of anthropology and sociolinguistics. like the paper of David Parkin (infra) Arnaut’s is an attempt to device new frames of reference for the sociolinguistic study of super-diversity. here Arnaut explores the potential of ‘super-diversity’ as a perspec- tive or lens for looking at diversity as discourse and as social practice.t he paper first looks into the notion of super-diversity, which marks a sea-change in the global design of transnational- ism. moreover, super-diversity seems to indicate that a new approach is needed to replace the model of orderly multiculturalism by taking into account the fluidities and complexities of diversity in the age of heightened mobility and digital communication. Second, this paper recognises that over the last two decades a hegemonic ‘diversity’ discourse has emerged in a ‘post-panoptical’ configuration of governmentality that manages these complex forms of diversity. the challenge of the super-diversity perspective is to relate to this hegemonic dis- course while not losing track of the exciting dynamics of messy and creative commonplace diversity in every-day interaction and low-key cultural production. in order to perform this task, the paper proposes a ‘critical sociolinguistics of diversity’ that is presented as part of a new moment in the post-colonial history of the human and social sciences, almost half a cen- tury after the earlier decolonising moves by scholars such as Johannes Fabian and Dellh ymes.

  • Translingual English
    RESPONSES TRANSLINGUAL ENGLISH Alastair Pennycook, University of Technology Sydney Correspondence to Alastair Pennycook: [email protected] In their introduction to this special edition of ARAL, Michael Clyne and Farzad Sharifian have laid out a number of the general concerns we need to consider when trying to grapple with the global spread of English. There is much of value in their proposal for a more symmetrical understanding of the pluricentricity of English; for a focus on cross- cultural/intercultural communication, especially on pragmatic, discourse, and conceptual variation in English language classes; and for language policies that emphasise bilingualism and multilingualism. Their position nevertheless stops short in its exploration of the wider concerns raised by the gobal spread of English: While rightly critiquing the monolingual mindset that is blind to multilingualism and gives support to the use only of English, Clyne and Sharifian nevertheless fail to problematise the assumptions that underlie all these discussions around the global spread of English. It is not enough just to question monolingualism and argue for multilingualism, since both conceptions emerge from the same context of European-based thinking about language. As long as we still operate with the same epistemological framework of languages that emerged from the colonial/modernist context (Errington, 2008; Nakata, 2007), we will not be able to think our way out of the dilemmas posed by language and globalisation (Makoni and Penny- cook, 2007). WORLD ENGLISHES AND LINGUA FRANCAS Central to this rethinking of language is a move away from locating diversity in national/ geographic terms. The global spread of English very obviously lends itself to such a re- thinking, and yet, quite remarkably, a considerable amount of work on world Englishes has reproduced precisely the epistemology it needs to escape.

I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Student: Date: Acknowledgements I have been so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with my amazing supervisor, to share intellectual conversations with my close friend after work each day, and to have been supported and encouraged in the most caring and inspiring ways by my partner. Each of these individuals has patiently listened to me telling and retelling my story endlessly over the last six years and when this is all over, I am sure they will welcome the break! This is a long-winded way of conveying my gratitude to Professor Alastair Pennycook, Professor David Nunan and Dr. Emi Otsuji for their amazing support, professionalism and friendship. I have taken much more than their advice and conversations over the years; their voices and ways of seeing are also deeply intertwined with who I see myself becoming. Bakhtin’s work around inner dialogues also reminds me that it isn’t only the visible that counts in the construction of new selves.

  • Ethnicity, Identity and Group Vitality: a Study of Burushos of Srinagar
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2016 2016, Vol. 3, No. 1, 1-10 ISSN: 2149-1291 Ethnicity, Identity and Group Vitality: A study of Burushos of Srinagar Musavir Ahmed1 University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India This study reports the findings of a survey undertaken to comprehend the factors that have enabled a group of around 350 Burushos to maintain their ethnic identity including their language after 125 years of their immigration to Kashmir in Jammu and Kashmir State of India. The group has been able to resist the assimilatory forces and has maintained itself as a distinct entity vis-a- vis the dominant Kashmiri host society. The study has drawn upon the empirical tool of ethnolinguistic vitality as a reflection of the group’s sustainability as a collective entity in terms of their ethnic as well as linguistic identity. The study also reveals the attitude of native Kashmiris towards the group as perceived by group members. This perceived attitude of the group members has been explained in terms of its bearing on the vitality and identity of the group. The study is based on 50 semi-structured questionnaires and four unstructured interviews. The questionnaire has been partly developed on the basis of six factors identified by UNESCO (2003) in the evaluation of ethnolinguistic vitality. The paper concludes that an ethnically small immigrant group can survive the assimilatory forces and maintain their ethnic identity even if the ethnolinguistic vitality of the group is quite low on most of the measurable factors. Keywords: Identity, Ethnolinguistic Vitality, Burushaski, Perceived Attitude and Kashmir Introduction Maintenance or retention of ethnic identity by small immigrant groups in the context of inter- ethnic contact has been less explored than the processes that lead to their adaptation in the receiving society.Researchers over the years have focussed on the adaptive strategies of immigrants in their new places of settlement.

  • Heritage, Blackness and Afro-Cool Styling Africanness in Amsterdam*
    African Diaspora 7 (2014) 260–289 brill.com/afdi Heritage, Blackness and Afro-Cool Styling Africanness in Amsterdam* Marleen de Witte Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract This article focuses on the recent emergence of an “Afro-Dutch” category of self- identification among young people in Amsterdam. Dutch-born youth of different Afro- Caribbean and African backgrounds show a new sense of (and search for) a shared African heritage, and a growing desire for public exposure and recognition of this Africanness. Manifesting in, for example, media initiatives, performing arts, cultural festivals, and bodily fashions, this trend is characterized by an aesthetic emphasis on globalized African styles and by political struggles about the inclusion of African her- itage in Dutch imaginations of nationhood. Approaching Africanness as a process of becoming and a practiceofself-styling, this article explores the convergence between the renewed interest in African roots among Dutch-born Afro-Caribbeans and the ways in which Ghanaian youth engage with their African origins. It discerns three prominent, but contested tropes with regard to their framing and design of Africanness: “African heritage”, “blackness” and “Afro-cool”. Keywords Africanness – Afro-Dutch – Self-styling – Cultural Heritage – Blackness – Afro-cool * This paper was presented at the African Studies Association Annual Meeting 2012, Philadel- phia, and at the 20th International Conference of Europeanists in Amsterdam, 2013. The related research was funded by a veni grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scien- tific Research (nwo). I wish to thank Gladys Akom Ankobrey, Francio Guadeloupe, afdi editors Hélène Neveu Kringelbach and Karel Arnaut, and two anonymous reviewers for their extremely stimulating comments and for opening up exciting areas of debate, which I look forward to exploring further in the near future.

She was an award-winning senior reporter for The Press and the Sunday Star-Times newspapers, and has worked as both a freelance writer and editor, as well as for community news publications. She is of Pākehā and Tuvaluan descent, and studies journalism, diversity issues, ethnic minorities and Pacific media. @taraross_nz, orcid.org/0000-0002-6664-711X Word count: 6709 (including footnotes & excluding references) Contested language use in ethnic media: A case study of New Zealand’s Pacific media New Zealand’s Pacific communities face significant generational language loss and their media are increasingly produced in English, raising questions about the centrality of language for ethnic media and their audiences. By drawing on semi- structured interviews with 23 media producers, this study finds tensions within and between Pacific-language and English-language media over the use of Pacific languages. It suggests that language is a strategic resource of identity in Pacific media that is shaped by a dialectic of internal and external identification. Rather than viewing ethnic media language practices as simply about language preservation or translating information for migrants, this paper suggests we examine language as a way that media producers intentionally perform their identity and legitimate Pacific media production.
