Balanced Messaging about Solar Geoengineering does not Reduce Average Support for Emissions Reductions
Solar geoengineering offers a speculative means to cool the planet by reflecting solar radiation into space. While some research suggests that awareness of solar geoengineering could reduce public support for decarbonization through a moral hazard mechanism, other studies indicate that it could serve as a “clarion call” that motivates further action. Using a pre-registered factorial design, we assess how sharing balanced information on solar geoe…

Film-making as creative praxis: Capturing the intimate side of interculturality
This article employs creative film-making to explore the doing of the intimate and personal aspects of the intercultural encounter. It offers an alternative paradigm for the use of visual methods for ethnographic and auto-ethnographic research. Drawing on phenomenological and auto-ethnographic perspectives, it investigates the lived, subjective experience through film-making praxis via excerpts of the experimental audio-visual essay A caressing d…
Lived languages: Ordinary collections and multilingual repertoires
Until recently, the role of material culture in language has been little studied or seen as the context where language use is situated (Aronin et al., 2018). This article looks at the materiality of language in a new light by arguing that everyday objects such as kitchen utensils and wardrobes can be seen as deliberate and conscious collections that are entangled with speakers’ multilingual repertoires, subjectivities and embodied agencies. Cloth…
Vibrant identities and finding joy in difference
As Street’s (1993) memorable phrase ‘culture is a verb’ suggests, cultures are ‘doing things’: vibrant, pulsating and alive. Such a statement heralded a turning point in our view of cultural identi
Re-visiting the unhomely through languaging
This paper will build on Bhabha’s (1992, 1994) conceptualization of Third Space and the ‘unhomely’ by turning to the power of the tangible, material and ordinary aspects of the intercultural encounter. In order to do this it focuses on the ‘crisis points’ that languagers encounter in their biographies and puts forward a frame of analysis based on the concepts of ‘Chronotope’ and ‘Mudes’ that places languagers’ spatio-temporal coordinates in synch…

Language Learners' Sociocultural Positions in the L2: A Narrative Approach
This paper investigates language learners' negotiation of their social selves in the target language community of practice from a narrative perspective. In order to do this, I draw from post-structuralist and sociocultural approaches to language learning and L2 identity (e.g. Belz, 2002; Kinginger, 2004; Norton, 1997, 2000; Pavlenko, 2002, 2003) which assume that learners do not communicate in a social vacuum but acquire new roles, positions and …
Autobiographical Accounts of L2 Identity Construction in Chicano Literature
This paper uses narrative accounts to explore intercultural experiences and the perception of the self by second language (L2) users. The analysis follows poststructuralist and postmodern theories of cultural and language identity. Extracts from the autobiographies of three chicano writers from the 1980s to the new millennium, Richard Rodriguez's Hunger of Memory, Ilán Stavans' On Borrowed Words and Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands: La Frontera, wil…
Culture for Beginners: A Subjective and Realistic Approach for Adult Language Learners
This paper analyses how cultural understanding of the target culture can be addressed at beginners' level. To do this, I will discuss how some theoretical and pedagogical principles from Intercultural Learning, Cultural Studies and Second Language Acquisition throw light on the teaching of culture at the outset of foreign language learning. While it is widely recognised that culture and language occur in tandem, there is a dearth of examples of h…
