| Summary | "Drawing on a range of contexts and data sources from urban multilingualism to studies of animal communication, Posthumanist Applied Linguistics offers us alternative ways of thinking about the human predicament that present important new political, ethical and intellectual possibilities. Exploring a range of topics from language and discourse to the individual, context, cognition and communication, eight incisive chapters by one of the world's foremost applied linguists open up alternative avenues for research and education, and urge us to question the ways in which we think about the boundaries between: humans and other animalshumans and objectshumans and nature. From proclamations about the death of 'Man' and the advent of the Anthropocene to discussions of new forms of materialism, distributed language and assemblages, this critical posthumanist applied linguistics perspective on the planet and the environment is essential reading for all researchers and students in the fields of Applied Linguistics and Sociolinguistics."--Provided by publisher. |
