"The analysis and understanding of multilingualism, and its relationship to identity in the face of globalization, migration and the increasing dominance of English as a lingua franca, makes it a complex and challenging problem that requires insights from a range of disciplines. With reference to a variety of languages and contexts, this book offers fascinating insights into multilingual identity from a team of world-renowned scholars, working from a range of different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Three overarching themes are explored – situatedness, identity practices, and investment – and detailed case studies from different linguistic and cultural contexts are included throughout. The chapter authors' consideration of 'multilingualism-as-resource' challenges the conception of 'multilingualism-as-problem', which has dogged so much political thinking in late modernity. The studies offer a critical lens on the types of linguistic repertoire that are celebrated and valued, and introduce the policy implications of their findings for education and wider social issues." « L’analyse et la compréhension du multilinguisme et de sa relation à l’identité face à la mondialisation, à la migration et à la domination croissante de l’anglais en tant que lingua franca en font un problème complexe et difficile qui nécessite des connaissances de diverses disciplines. En référence à une variété de langues et de contextes, cet ouvrage offre un aperçu fascinant de l’identité multilingue à partir d’une équipe de chercheurs de renommée mondiale, travaillant à partir d’un éventail de différentes perspectives théoriques et méthodologiques. Trois thèmes principaux sont explorés – la situation, les pratiques identitaires et l’investissement – et des études de cas détaillées de différents contextes linguistiques et culturels sont incluses tout au long. La réflexion des auteurs du chapitre sur le 'multilinguisme comme ressource' remet en question la conception du 'multilinguisme en tant que problème', qui a tant malmené la pensée politique dans la modernité tardive. Les études offrent une perspective critique sur les types de répertoire linguistique qui sont célébrés et valorisés, et présentent les implications politiques de leurs résultats pour l’éducation et les questions sociales plus larges. »
