Language and Racism from a Global Perspective
From the United States and Europe to the Global South, linguistic anthropologists explore language and racism as deeply intertwined phenomena that manifest in diverse forms and across different sociopolitical contexts. In the United States, where this research field is most developed, theories on language, race, and racism have evolved with the country’s lengthy history of slavery and racial segregation. Linguistic anthropologists working in the …

This article analyzes the role of vernacular French-language practices in the construction of Afro-diasporic communities in the digital media realm. Defined as the linguistic style associated with a specific social group, the vernacular indexes locality and represents a form of authenticity, thus constituting a key resource in the identity construction of online diasporic communities. The article focuses on the ethnographic case study of Celia, a…

Dans un second temps, l'article se base sur l'étude ethnographique du « travail…

Moi je whitise jamais. » Accent, subjectivité et processus d'accommodation langagière en contexte migratoire et postcolonial
Cet article a pour but d'analyser le rôle de la subjectivité dans les processus d'accommodation phonétique des sujets parlants en contexte migratoire et postcolonial, à partir de l'étude du cas d'un jeune adulte migrant d'origine camerounaise, militant dans une association panafricaine à Paris. La subjectivité, processus de construction du sujet, est toujours marquée par le « paradoxe de l'assujettissement » (Butler 2002), soit une tension entre …
