Abstract

Die Politolinguistik ist eine inzwischen fest etablierte linguistische Teildisziplin, die das Verhältnis von Sprache und Politik zum Gegenstand hat. Mit der vorliegenden 2., vollständig überarbeiten und aktualisierten Auflage des 2002 erstmals erschienenen Arbeitsheftes wird der dynamischen Entwicklung dieses Forschungsbereiches Rechnung getragen und ein umfassender Überblick über Gegenstände und Methoden vorgelegt. Neben "klassischen" Themen wie politische Sprachfunktionen, politisches Lexikon, Kampf um Begriffe, politische Text-/ Gesprächssorten und Diskursanalyse, werden insbesondere auch neue, internetbasierte Formen politischen Sprachhandelns wie etwa Facebook, Twitter oder Rapid Response in den Blickpunkt genommen. Exemplarische Einzelanalysen ausgewählter Textsorten und Diskurse demonstrieren die Leistungsfähigkeit des in diesem Arbeitsheft vorgestellten Modells zur Analyse politischen Sprachhandelns. Literaturhinweise und Übungen, die zur Vertiefung des Stoffes beitragen, runden die einzelnen Kapitel ab. Political action is first and foremost verbal action. This study aims to give students and teachers a solid introductory foundation to the field of “Language and Politics” as well as to demonstrate the potential of a linguistic approach. The individual chapters are rounded out with references and exercises that add depth to the material.

Abstract

The appointment of Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa in 1994 signalled the end of apartheid and transition to a new democratic constitution. This book studies discursive trends during the first twenty years of the new democracy, outlining the highlights and challenges of transforming policy, practice and discursive formations. The book analyses a range of discourses which signal how and by what processes the linguistic landscape and identities of South Africa’s inhabitants have changed in this time, finding that struggles in South African politics go hand in hand with shifts in the linguistic landscape. In a country now characterised by multilingualism, heteroglossia, polyphony and translanguaging, the author debates where the discourse practices of those born post-1994 may lead.

Abstract

The "one China" policy officially supported by the People's Republic of China, the United States, and other countries asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it. The debate over whether the people of Taiwan are Chinese or independently Taiwanese is, Melissa J. Brown argues, a matter of identity: Han ethnic identity, Chinese national identity, and the relationship of both of these to the new Taiwanese identity forged in the 1990's. In a unique comparison of ethnographic and historical case studies drawn from both Taiwan and China, Brown's book shows how identity is shaped by social experience-not culture and ancestry, as is commonly claimed in political rhetoric.

Abstract

The politics and policies that led to America's expansion of the penal system and reduction of welfare programs In 1970's America, politicians began "getting tough" on drugs, crime, and welfare. These campaigns helped expand the nation's penal system, discredit welfare programs, and cast blame for the era's social upheaval on racialized deviants that the state was not accountable to serve or represent. Getting Tough sheds light on how this unprecedented growth of the penal system and the evisceration of the nation's welfare programs developed hand in hand. Julilly Kohler-Hausmann shows that these historical events were animated by struggles over how to interpret and respond to the inequality and disorder that crested during this period. When social movements and the slowing economy destabilized the U.S. welfare state, politicians reacted by repudiating the commitment to individual rehabilitation that had governed penal and social programs for decades. In its place, they championed strategies of punishment, surveillance, and containment. The architects of these tough strategies insisted they were necessary, given the failure of liberal social programs and the supposed pathological culture within poor African American and Latino communities. Kohler-Hausmann rejects this explanation and describes how the spectacle of enacting punitive policies convinced many Americans that social investment was counterproductive and the "underclass" could be managed only through coercion and force. Getting Tough illuminates this narrative through three legislative cases: New York's adoption of the 1973 Rockefeller drug laws, Illinois's and California's attempts to reform welfare through criminalization and work mandates, and California's passing of a 1976 sentencing law that abandoned rehabilitation as an aim of incarceration. Spanning diverse institutions and weaving together the perspectives of opponents, supporters, and targets of punitive policies, Getting Tough offers new interpretations of dramatic transformations in the modern American state.
