From the end of the 1980s on, the concept of borders has undergone a series of new interpretations. Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) provided not only a different way of interpreting borders in literary studies; it also had a notable impact on cultural studies. The border concept also received novel treatment in sociolinguistics, thanks to a spatial shift coming from theoretical proposals in cultural geography, postcolonial theoretical perspectives, and increasingly a de(s)colonial gaze. What all these aforementioned perspectives have in common is an understanding of borders not as lines of demarcation and division, or as symbolizing binaries that oppose the internal, the known, and the proper to the external, the unknown, and the foreign (among other oppositions), but rather as complex phenomena.
This volume gathers 16 studies divided in four sections and a final discussion that address the concept of borders and boundaries in sociolinguistics—understood in its broad sense as the discipline that investigates (and advocates for) the intersection between language and society. It explores the interstices and grey zones in the linguistic negotiation of space/place, ethnic group/race, class, sex/gender, and other social manifestations, to rethink how these border zones should be treated theoretically and methodologically in order to better understand speakers and their practices.
The volume has also sought to bring together the (English and Spanish) voices of highly recognized sociolinguists and those of very talented young scholars, to offer a cutting-edge publication on a topic of great relevance to the social sciences in general.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware - Las fronteras no son solo líneas físicas en un mapa, sino divisiones y procesos sociales y simbólicos que se configuran continuamente a través del lenguaje y la interacción cotidiana. Este volumen bilingüe desafía las nociones estáticas y binarias de las fronteras, revelando cómo se construyen y se mantienen, pero también se desafían y se reinventan mediante prácticas comunicativas concretas. Desde diversas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas, los y las autoras analizan fronteras nacionales, transnacionales, simbólicas y de género en Europa, África y las Américas, abordando cuestiones de urgente actualidad como la migración, la identidad, el racismo, la discriminación de género y otras formas de exclusión mediadas por el lenguaje. El volumen ofrece claves críticas para comprender cómo el lenguaje moldea las fronteras de nuestro mundo: una contribución que invita a reflexionar sobre las formas sutiles y manifiestas en que el lenguaje participa en la (de)construcción de las divisiones sociales. Borders are not just physical lines on a map-they are social and symbolic divisions and processes continuously shaped through language and everyday interaction. This bilingual volume challenges static, binary notions of borders, revealing how they are constructed and maintained, but also resisted and reimagined through specific communicative practices. Bringing together diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives, the contributors examine national, transnational, symbolic, and gendered borders in Europe, Africa and the Americas, engaging with pressing issues such as migration, identity, racism, gender discrimination, and other forms of exclusion mediated by language. This volume offers critical insights into how language shapes the borders of our contemporary world: a thought-provoking contribution that invites readers to critically engage with the subtle and overt ways language participates in the (un)making of social divides. 519 pp. Englisch, Spanisch.
