Commons as utopian practices
This article explores the concept of the commons as a utopian practice, drawing on Graeber’s ‘living utopianism’ and Harvey’s ‘dialectical utopianism.’ It focuses on the urban commons La Ingobernable ’, a social centre located in a building, under threat of privatisation, occupied in Madrid between 2017 and 2019. The article examines how the project became a symbol of the conflict between neoliberal policies and movements demanding the right to t…
Power and Discourse
This paper delves into the intricate relationship between discourse and power. Initially, it posits discourse as a social practice, underscoring its dynamic role in shaping activities within a community. The conceptualization of power is expanded beyond mere top‐down authority, encompassing its manifestation in disciplinary institutions and daily social interactions through the mobilization of discourses. This redefinition paves the way for a foc…
Como no me convierta en Pedro Sánchez”/“If I don’t become Spain’s president
In 2020, we initiated a participatory action research project focused on understanding the role of language in perpetuating inequality and addressing language-related injustices. We implemented a longitudinal conscientization process at a public university in Madrid, inspired by Freire’s philosophy of education and framed within the nationalist linguistic conflict in Spain. The article examines ethnographic and recorded interactive data from an i…
Transformative actions for sociolinguistic equity
This paper explores the concept of agency for social transformation and its mobilization through a participatory action research project developed with students from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. The research, which was longitudinal and employed ethnographic and participatory approaches, was based on critical pedagogy to raise awareness about the role of language in reproducing social inequaliti…
Negotiating sociolinguistic justice
This introduction to the special issue Negotiating Sociolinguistic Justice: Turning Spaces of Inequality into Spaces of Conscientization focuses on how sociolinguistic research can be reimagined as a tool for activism and social intervention. The authors advocate for research that not only describes language-based inequalities but actively intervenes to address them by engaging communities in participatory processes. Inspired by Paulo Freire's co…
Voicing experiences of language surveillance to challenge social inequality
While the role of language in inequality is often acknowledged, much remains unknown about how language-mediated inequality occurs. This paper seeks to move the field forward by developing a comprehensive approach to language inequality. The multi-site EquiLing project applied participatory action research (PAR) from a Freirian perspective, focusing on the Madrid region and the Basque Country. In both settings, researchers and participants co-con…
Paisajes lingüísticos
Este capítulo examina cómo las prácticas comunicativas intervienen en la construcción del espacio urbano y cómo, a su vez, se ven conformadas por este, en el marco de la acción política (Martín Rojo 2014/2016a). Esta cuestión se aborda en el contexto social y político de los movimientos de protesta que se han venido sucediendo desde el 2010 y que aún hoy destacan por cómo se apropian de los espacios urbanos y los transforman en espacios políticos

Hegemonies and inequalities in academia
This article reflects on the different inequalities that cut across academic spaces and the role that language plays in them, and uses this reflection to move towards proposing transformative strategies to overcome the current status quo. First, it explores the impact of the unequal distribution of economic and symbolic resources and the lack of recognition or misrecognition of many academics, both of which result in unbalanced participation in t…

Language and Neoliberal Governmentality
Neoliberalism, language, and governmentality
This chapter examines how the concepts of neoliberal governmentality and political rationality contribute to the understanding of neoliberalism as a contemporary form of governance of populations, institutions, practices, language, and subjects, focusing on the key elements addressed in Foucault’s governmentality: the population as a target; the notion of “political economy” as the predominance of market mechanisms and hence limited state involve…
Language surveillance
In this article, we examine the language surveillance - both self and externally imposed - experienced by Madrid university students of Latin American origin in their encounters with the local population in educational settings. A pattern of language surveillance emerges in the interviews held with these students. It consists of hierarchical observation, normalising judgment and interrogation. These three reported practices are related to the fol…
Introduction
This special issue brings together a collection of case studies that examine the making of speakerhood as experienced by migrants in Spain and Portugal. It focuses on moments in the life course of speakers as they navigate across transnational contexts where they face various linguistic demands. This involves being confronted with the norms, requirements and the values that define who is considered to be a speaker of the "language" or "languages"…
Cosmopolitan stance negotiation in multicultural academic settings
Our analysis of an informal event involving Chinese and Spanish students and lecturers displays the cumulative nature of stance negotiation in multicultural settings. It also highlights the role of sociocultural and ideological elements in stancetaking, not only in relation to the positions adopted by the participants, but also in the successive redefinition and reframing of the stance objects. Sociocultural and ideological elements are also cruc…
A sociolinguistics of diaspora
"This volume brings together scholars in sociolinguistics and the sociology of new media and mobile technologies who are working on different social and communicative aspects of the Latino diaspora. There is new interest in the ways in which migrants negotiate and renegotiate identities through their continued interactions with their own culture back home, in the host country, in similar diaspora elsewhere, and with the various "new" cultures of …
The transformation of urban space
This paper draws attention to the ways in which spatial configurations operate as constitutive dimensions of sociolinguistic phenomena and vice versa; that is, the way in which communicative practices frame daily life and the broader urban reality. The paper presents an approach which integrates the study of Linguistic Landscapes, the dynamics of deterritorialisation/reterritorialisation, proposed by Deleuze and Guattari (1987), and Bourdieu’s co…

En #Sol, revolución
En este artículo analizamos cómo la apropiación del espacio urbano a través de las prácticas comunicativas, que supuso el movimiento 15M, entrañó una transformación en el modo de entender y de hacer política, basada en renovados conceptos de participación y agencia. La apropiación del espacio de la Puerta del Sol en Madrid tuvo lugar a través de dos movimientos complementarios y hasta cierto punto inseparables, la desterritorialización y reterrit…
Occupy
Large-scale protests have recently transformed urban common spaces into sites of resistance. Squares and urban places, monumentally designed as political and economic centres, have been reclaimed as places for discussion anddecision-making, for increasing participation and intervention in the governance of the community. Through banners and signs, open assemblies, and other communicative practices in the encampments and interconnecting physical a…
Taking over the Square
In this paper I study the extent to which the 15-M or Spanish Indignados movement has transformed the discourses of social movements, not only in terms of their content, but also in the way their communicative practices are produced and circulate. Thus, this paper firstly explores how changes in the conditions of production and circulation of linguistic practices contribute to the “deterritorialisation” and “reterritorialisation” of space, by mea…
Introduction
This issue brings together a collection of essays on the most prevalent approaches to the analysis of linguistic practices in institutional contexts in the light of the social and communicative changes that have taken place in late modernity. The articles explore institutional discourse in public and private institutions with special attention to the provision of services in relatively new and developing multicultural contexts. From their differe…
Multilingual and transnational encounters in late modernity
This paper examines the essential role played by language in the provision of services to facilitate interchanges between persons of different origins in order to enable not just the performance of these activities, but also to make it possible for the participants, who may not share cultural assumptions or values, to (re)negotiate their relations and identities. This is precisely a key sector in the new economies, and the way in which linguistic…
Constructing Inequality in Multilingual Classrooms
In her groundbreaking and innovative study, the author takes us on a fascinating journey through some of Madrid's multilingual and multicultural schools and reveals the role played by linguistic practices in the construction of inequality through such processes as what she calls "de-capitalization" and "ethnicization". Through a critical sociolinguistic and discourse analysis of the data collected in an ethnographic study, the book shows the excl…
There was a Problem, and it was Solved!”
In this article we examine some discursive aspects of political legitimation by analyzing the speech of the Spanish Secretary of the Interior, Mayor Oreja; on the occasion of a military-style expulsion of a group of African `illegal' migrants from Melilla—the Spanish enclave in Morocco—in the summer of 1996. After a theoretical analysis of legitimation, we study three levels of legitimation: (a) pragmatic: various strategies of the justification …
Division and Rejection
This paper analyses the process of exclusion of Saddam Hussein, in a Spanish newspaper, El País, in the period just before the Gulf War. This exclusion procedure is articulated on two axes: division and rejection (Foucault, 1964). `Division' means establishing an inclusive us and an exclusive them, in this case, him. This move therefore entails a personification of the conflict, which produces immediate feelings of identification or rejection, an…

Civic” and “ethnic” nationalist discourses in Spanish parliamentary debates
Parliamentary debates on the definition of the nation-state and national identities are a very revealing discursive domain of tracing the cues of the social construction of this category. Integrating social-psychological and discourse analyses, this article studies how Spanish nationalism interacts with the most influential regional (Catalonian and Basque) nationalisms in the Spanish Parliament in Madrid, and in the regional Parliaments of Catalo…

Dilemmas of linguistic policies and their study
Dilemas ideológicos
This chapter examines the paradoxical role of minority rights discourse, which wh i l e seeking to accommodate and integrate minority speakers into the Madrid Autonomous Region, inadve rt e n t ly segregates and marginalizes them. This contradiction between the principles stated by the official discourse, and the actions developed is explained through the analysis of the significant ideological dilemmas referred to educational politics, language …
