Interdiscursivity: Conventions, Gaps, and Renegades
This review argues for renewed attention to interdiscursivity—processes through which linguistic or other semiotic elements taken from one context are integrated into another, forging links among texts, contexts, and people. We examine historical and institutional structures that guide processes of interdiscursivity to focus on three interconnected interdiscursive processes. First, conventional interdiscursivity (re)produces power structures, suc…

The Archive of Displacement: Vernacular History and Urban Cemeteries in Oran, Algeria
Oran-Algeria's second-largest city-is an archive of displacement, containing the imprint of overlooked, erased, or forgotten (often violent) pasts stored in everyday things like trees, trash, talk, and translations. Uniting all these unintended archival deposits are the dead-especially the uncommemorated, forgotten, or abandoned dead-and the urban spaces they co-inhabit with the most marginalized of the living. Based on sixteen months of ethnogra…
The king of martyrs: Poetic parallelism and postcolonial publics in Oran, Algeria
How can people talk about the past in a deeply fractured society, wounded by two centuries of colonial and postcolonial violence? In Oran-Algeria's second-largest city-people find creative ways to speak without speaking about unspeakable pasts. They do this by creating poetic parallelism between urban forms-from skeletons of buildings to martyr images-in everyday speech and image-events. In poetics, parallelism deploys similar linguistic forms to…
Echoes of "dead" colonialism: The voices and materiality of a (post)colonial Algerian newspaper
Through the concept of the echo, this article examines how postcolonial Algerians discursively locate and orient themselves in relation to the materiality of "dead" colonialism, which I broadly define as the physical presence of objects, voices, and sensual qualities (accompanied by aesthetic, value, and moral judgments) that Algerians see as persisting from the colonial before. I argue that an echo in discourse hinges on a tripartite dialogic st…
The Poetics of Grievance: Taxi Drivers, Vernacular Placenames, and the Paradoxes of Post-Coloniality in Oran, Algeria☆
Based on sixteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in the Mediterranean port city of Oran, this article examines why Algerians, after nearly sixty years of independence, continue to use French colonial-era placenames instead of the post-colonial names commemorating the martyrs of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962). I argue that vernacular place-naming, including the use of colonial-era names, should be understood as a component of what I…
Are We Not of Interest to Each Other?' A Pedagogy of Presence during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Are We in the Same Boat? Ethnographic Lessons of Sheltering in Place from International Seafarers and Algerian Harraga in the Age of Global Pandemic
As the pandemic of the novel coronavirus has swept across the globe, national governments have reacted by restricting the movement of people. The day-to-day mobility of billions has been interrupte
Decolonizing the Church/Decolonizing Language: Postcolonial Christianity, Language Ideologies, and the Morality of Teaching Vernacular Arabic (Darija) in Algeria
In the mid-20th century, as the global colonial order collapsed, language and education were two of the most affectively, politically, and economically challenging domains of decolonization efforts. Parler Algérien (Speak Algerian), an experimental method for the teaching and learning of Darija (Algerian vernacular Arabic), created by Catholic clergymen and women in the early 1970s, provides an illustration of an attempt to decolonize language le…

Language testing, ‘integration’ and subtractive multilingualism in Italy: Challenges for adult immigrant second language and literacy education
Since Italy's unification in 1861, the establishment and diffusion of the standard Italian language at the expense of all other linguistic varieties has dominated language and education policy discourses. Today, as Italy has transformed from a country of mass emigration to a country of mass immigration, the language learning of immigrants and refugees has become highly politicized. This politicization was exemplified in 2009 and 2010 when Italian…
Race, Language, and Schooling in Italy's Immigrant Policies, Public Discourses, and Pedagogies
In this article, we use the framework of critical race theory (CRT) to show how race, language, and schooling have played out in the historical project of the Italian nation-state. We then demonstrate how this historic racialized identity construction is currently excluding immigrants from Italian national identity. Finally, we argue that CRT can be a valuable alternative to intercultural education in that it both addresses the educational needs …
