Beschreibung
The present volume investigates the representation and use AV
of multilingualism, language variation in English and other
languages in a variety of media and cultural production
(stand-up comedy shows, drag shows, musical genres, TV
series, sports commentary, to name some). Scholars from
various disciplines – from literary or cultural studies, from
linguistics, language teaching, and media studies – discuss
a (dis-)harmony of voices, identity formation, (media)
representation, power distribution and awareness. They
look at the (linguistic) representations of (marginalized)
groups or communities in films, TV series, novels, songs
etc. and some include the analysis of the language(s) and
language varieties used. They discuss the visibility, agency,
empowerment, stereotyping or ridiculing of different social
groups and treat issues of authenticity, (self-)identity formation,
style-shifting, audiences, media types and genres.
With this, the present volume explores and expands
the concept of polyphony as it was famously employed by
Mikhail Bakhtin in 1929.
