‘Our family’ as discursive and biographical space
In this paper we aim to articulate an interdisciplinary research agenda for the study of multilingual families that draws upon and transcends existing theorisations in the fields of language socialisation and family language policy. We understand family as a discursive space, where members negotiate not only what counts as valid knowledge, that is, the language repertoires that matter to them, but also who they are, the social relations they esta…
Narrative Discourse
Ubiquitous in the social interaction of everyday life, narrative discourse appears in multiple forms and serves a wide range of social and communicative purposes. This pervasiveness makes it a particularly effective resource for communicating identity and experience. However, its study is far from a neatly bounded field; rather, it has developed through diverse and evolving research perspectives. This entry offers a broad and necessarily selectiv…
Anticipating the future, escaping the past
This article discusses the family language biographies of two Spanish-Catalan speaking, white middle-class mothers living in Catalonia, who raise their children in English. The rationale behind their choice is informed by the mothers' experiences when trying to learn English as young adults in the late 1980s, mediated by their present socioeconomic conditions. In order to lay the groundwork for what is framed as a 'good' future for their children…
Becoming “Global” in Higher Education
This article focuses on the discursive construction of a "global persona" made by undergraduates ending an internationalised degree.By means of two case studies, we analyse their positioning regarding the university's diverse definitions of "globality" and "global personae" as they emerge in institutional webpages.We look into how students' (mis)alignments with those definitions are shaped by academic expectations and choices, and the material co…
The politics of identity in diasporic media1
By following a sociolinguistic, ethnographic approach, this paper explores the intricacies behind the construction of a collective identity in the practices of a community radio station, off- and on-air, that serves the Spanish speaking Latin American community in London. The analysis of the information gathered from a 6-months ethnography conducted in a well-established radio station in South London, allowed me to document how the politics of id…
The politics of conviviality
This paper aims to contribute to studies of social relations among Spanish-speaking Latin Americans (SsLAs) in the London-based diaspora. In public discourse, members of this social group present themselves as an "ethnic community." However, reported tensions among themselves suggest that this image of unity is not necessarily consonant with their on-the-ground experiences of one another in diaspora. The regeneration of Elephant and Castle (E&C),…
Una aproximación etnográfica a las narrativas producidas en contextos de migración
Este artículo sitúa la narrativa, en sus diferentes formas, como uno de los métodos preferidos por los etnógrafos sociolingüistas que trabajan en temas de migración, para recoger las experiencias tanto de las personas migrantes, sus razones para migrar y sus percepciones frente a las sociedades de llegada. Asimismo, busca integrar al análisis cuestiones referidas a dos formas de reflexividad . Por un lado, la reflexividad que se produce en las na…
When language mixing is the norm
This article studies the language uses of a group of new speakers of Catalan at a secondary school in a metropolitan working class area of Barcelona, who have experienced their linguistic mudes as a consequence of having being schooled in the Catalan education system from an early age. As shown in previous research on children of economic migrants in Catalonia, these students internalize and reproduce the language distribution of Catalan and Span…
Banal interculturalism
This paper discusses banal interculturalism as produced in an interview situation with migrants of Latin American background in London. Banal interculturalism emerges within discursive semiotic processes that allow the participants to display their (cultural) knowledge about co-ethnics and their practices, to position themselves in opposition to the ‘others’ within diaspora, and to justify their, typically negative, views towards other migrants. …
"No-one told me it would all be in Catalan!" - narratives and language ideologies in the Latin American community at school
This article discusses the circulation of language ideologies through conversational narrative repertoires among Latin American parents in the secondary education system in Catalonia. Data, gathered in a linguistic ethnography carried out in three secondary schools in the metropolitan area of Barcelona between 2011 and 2013, include fieldwork in the classroom and other spaces of the school in different periods of the school year, as well as narra…

CLIL, unequal working conditions and neoliberal subjectivities in a state secondary school
Trapped in a moral order
This paper focuses on the forms of reflexivity that emerge in the conversational narratives of Latin American teenage school girls co-produced during sociolinguistic interviews, in a multicultural school in the centre of Madrid. The narratives about confrontation at school portray the girls’ actions and ways of making sense of such behaviours, in the course of their migrant life trajectories. Understanding narratives as communicative repertoires …

Language education and institutional change in a Madrid multilingual school
This article examines the institutional transformations of language-in-education programmes in Madrid, linked to wider socio-economic processes of change. Drawing on a research team's ethnographic revisit, we explore how wider processes are impacting everyday discursive practices in the Bridging Class (BC) programme, first implemented in 2003 to teach Spanish to the children of migrant workers in state schools. We focus on the coexistence of this…
Plurilingual resources for ‘welcoming’ at a university service for international students
This paper studies the situated meaning given to a so-called ‘welcome’ service for international students at a Catalan university. The official business of the service is to offer support with bureaucratic procedures and information about available services, including those for learning Catalan. However, the complex range of overlapping activities emerging in interactions at the service leads us to question how participants themselves (i.e. servi…
Linguistic reception of Latin American students in Catalonia and their responses to educational language policies
This study explores the connections between language policy implementation in three Barcelona-area secondary schools and the language attitudes and behaviors of Spanish-speaking Latin American newcomers. Data were collected through interviews and ethnographic participant observation document indexes of different forms of language socialization processes and highlight the role of teachers and of ‘Reception Classes’ (RCs) in which students receive …
Hacer sociolingüística etnográfica en un mundo cambiante
Este volumen reúne un grupo de trabajos de jóvenes sociolingüistas del mundo hispano que reflexionan, a través de su experiencia investigadora, sobre la metodología etnográfica, sus retos y confines epistemológicos, así como la configuración de nuevas posibilidades y formas de investigación para el estudio situado de los usos lingüísticos en los contextos plurilingües y multiculturales del mundo actual.

La construcción discursiva del fracaso escolar
El estudio sociolingüístico y etnográfico de las prácticas comunicativas en un centro escolar multicultural de Madrid ha permitido identificar el conflicto en las interacciones como una de las dimensiones del fracaso escolar que padece este instituto. El fracaso escolar, entendido desde los planteamientos de Erickson (1987), hace referencia a la falta de interés y confianza mutua entre los protagonistas de la práctica escolar para llevar a cabo l…
Negotiating Power Relations and Ethnicity in a Sociolinguistic Ethnography in Madrid
One of the major dilemmas when practising critical sociolinguistic ethnography within the field of education is the ethnographer's degree of implication within the studied site (Goldstein, 2003 Goldstein, T. 2003.
