Enterprising refugee women: Analyzing postfeminist governmentality in an organizational context
This study examines a model project initiated by a German Federal Ministry in the middle of the vast increase in forced migration to Germany after 2015. The project aimed at facilitating the integration of female refugees into German society by way of ‘empowering’ them to become self‐employed. A business counseling agency with a feminist orientation was commissioned to design and run the project. Interpellating refugee women as subjects of entrep…
Introduction: Language, Work and Affective Capitalism
This special issue contributes to scholarship on language and affective economy by exploring the role played by affect in shaping work and workers under current configurations of capitalism. We take as a starting point the observation of increased valorisation and instrumentalisation of affect in the contemporary phase of capitalism. In this editorial introduction to the special issue, we set the scene by first outlining our questions, aims and o…
Language, (em)power(ment) and affective capitalism: The case of an entrepreneurship workshop for refugees in Germany
This paper seeks to advance research on the nexus of language, work-related training and affective capitalism by focusing on an entrepreneurship workshop organized for newly arrived refugees in Germany. Despite the occupational orientation, the primary objective of the workshop was not establishing a business but "empowering" the participants by guiding them to adopt "an entrepreneurial mindset". To delve deeper into this 'will to empower', the s…
Empowerment as an affective-discursive technology in contemporary capitalism: Insights from a play
Over recent years, an increasing body of research in social and cultural studies has investigated the contemporary processes of social change from the point of view of affective capitalism. In this article, we take under scrutiny one of its technologies, namely, empowerment, by which we mean a state characterised by feelings of strength, ability and power that enable agency. More specifically, we investigate the way empowerment is presented in a …
Music video covers, minoritised languages, and affective investments in the space of YouTube
While interest in affective processes has led to an affective turn in cultural studies, in sociolinguistics this perspective has been given less attention. This study takes up the ‘lens of affect’ and directs it on two cases exemplifying the circulation of minoritised languages in new media spaces: music video covers from two minority-language contexts, Irish and Sámi, uploaded on YouTube. Combining recent theorising on affect with insights from …
Girls strike back
The diversification of the media has opened up new spaces for performances that seek not only to evoke laughter but also to voice social critique. One example of this development is the TV comedy show Märät säpikkäät/Njuoska bittut, created by two young women belonging to the indigenous Sámi people living in Finland. This paper focuses on one particularly critical sketch in the show: a counter-parody of a popular parody of the Sámi presented by t…
Languaging the worker: Globalized governmentalities in/of language in peripheral spaces”
In the introduction to the special issue “Languaging the worker: globalized governmentalities in/of language in peripheral spaces”, we take up the notion of governmentality as a means to interrogate the complex relationship between language, labor, power and subjectivity in peripheral multilingual spaces. Our aim here is to argue for the study of governmentality as a viable and growing approach in critical sociolinguistic research. As such, in th…
Shaping subjects of globalisation: At the intersection of voluntourism and the new economy
Volunteer tourism is one of the latest branches of the ever expanding globalised tourism. The initiative Workaway, an expression of this trend, was established in the late 90s with the aim of promoting “cultural understanding between different peoples and lands throughout the world”. The figure of the workawayer as a new cosmopolitan subjectivity started to take shape. With the growth of the tourism industry, the Workaway scheme has started to be…
Putting resources into practice: A nexus analysis of knowledge mobilisation activities in language research and multilingual communities
Recent demand within the academy for language research that bridges different stakeholders renders the social relevance of research a factor in the academic competition for research funds [Curry, M. J., & Lillis, T. (2013). Introduction to the thematic issue: Participating in academic publishing – consequences of linguistic policies and practices. Language Policy, 12, 209–213]. This calls for new means and innovations for designing and carrying o…
Semiotics of pride and profit: Interrogating commodification in indigenous handicraft production
This study investigates the shifting terrain of pride, profit and power relations in minority language communities under contemporary globalisation. While “pride” associates linguistic-cultural heritage with identity and preservation, “profit” views these as sources of economic gain. In contemporary late capitalism, “pride” seems to be increasingly giving way to “profit”. Arguing that this transformation needs to be interrogated in terms of compl…

Die Dynamik vieler zeitgenössischer Medien schafft neue, potenziell aber auch strittige Möglichkeiten der Sprach Verwendung und -mischung. In diesem Artikel konzentrieren wir uns auf eines der neuesten samischen Fernsehprogramme, eine mehrsprachige Sami- Fernseh-Komödie, und untersuchen, wie dieses neuartige Medienumfeld für indigene Sami-Sprachen die zwei wohl bekannten Genres der Musik-Video Parodie und des anthropologischen Dokumentarfilms auf…
