En 1989, la chute du mur de Berlin s'est accompagnée d'une plus libre circulation des hommes, des capitaux et des marchandises, laissant croire à l'abolition progressive des frontières. Cette chimère fut rapidement démentie par l'apparition, dans différentes régions du monde, de conflits visant à redéfinir les territoires et les souverainetés, de nouvelles affirmations nationalistes et de mouvements sociaux appelant au retour des frontières perçues comme des protections économiques, culturelles et sociales. Cet ouvrage retrace, à travers l'étude de cas particulièrement éclairants, cette évolution planétaire. Il montre ainsi comment, au sein même de l'Europe, de nombreux mouvements ont revendiqué l'instauration de nouvelles frontières après les guerres de l'ex-Yougoslavie, et de quelle manière la mondialisation et la construction européenne ont renforcé de petits territoires, les émancipant de leurs voisins. Récemment, bien des pays ont édifié des murs et fermé leurs frontières afin de se protéger de vagues migratoires vues comme dangereuses : entrons-nous dans un monde où seules les marchandises, les informations et les élites mondialisées circuleront librement ? À quoi les frontières servent-elles ? À qui profitent-elles ? À qui manquent-elles ?

This book analyses representations of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-62) in the literary output of French authors of Algerian origin, problematising the extent to which these literary 'sites of memory' provide appropriate spaces of consensus for hitherto competing memories of the war.

In this ground-breaking collection of essays, the editors and authors develop the idea of Linguistic Citizenship. This notion highlights the importance of practices whereby vulnerable speakers themselves exercise control over their languages, and draws attention to the ways in which alternative voices can be inserted into processes and structures that otherwise alienate those they were designed to support. The chapters discuss issues of decoloniality and multilingualism in the global South, and together retheorize how to accommodate diversity in complexly multilingual/ multicultural societies. Offering a framework anchored in transformative notions of democratic and reflexive citizenship, it prompts readers to critically rethink how existing contemporary frameworks such as Linguistic Human Rights rest on disempowering forms of multilingualism that channel discourses of diversity into specific predetermined cultural and linguistic identities.

This book proposes a multidisciplinary assessment of the impact of complex diversity on language politics and policies, analysing how the legacies of the old interact with the challenges of the new. Its main focus is on the interplay of multilingualism on the one hand, and the dynamics of transnationalism, globalisation, and Europeanisation on the other. This interplay confronts contemporary societies with unprecedented questions, as they face the need to come to grips with increasingly varied and pervasive manifestations of linguistic and cultural diversity. This volume develops an integrative approach that identifies the key social and political dimensions at hand, offering an innovative contribution to the ongoing conversation on the manifestations and management of multilingualism.
