“This is Tunisia, Speak Arabic
In multilingual societies, it is common for the individual languages used to have specific and contrasting associations, classically with power versus solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic projects over many years, this article portrays a more complicated language ideology in Tunisia. Depending on context, both French and Arabic can be languages of power and solidarity. Gender and class play important contextual roles, with men’s French being popul…
What’s So Special About Private Parts? How Anthropology Questions the Public–Private Dichotomy
Following the anthropological model, this chapter examines the concept of privacy from a cross-cultural perspective, showing how its meaning and experience varies enormously.

It is not a case of societies and groups being more private than others, but having contrasting views on w…

The article suggests that the banknotes must be seen as p…

Further, I suggest that in addition to examining the spread of English around the world, scholars should study the ubiquity of various discourses that span multiple languages. Based on research carried out in Tunisia, and using the examples from aca…
