The Spread of Language-Borne Cultural Products and Boundary-Breaking Language Ideological Practices, 1975–1998
摘要
This chapter focuses on nongovernmental mobilizations of language-borne cultural products and boundary-breaking language ideological practices in Barcelona in relation to globalization and the formation of Gen ’95ers’ generation entelechy in late twentieth century Catalonia. Vann analyzes such mobilizations, institutionally and in popular culture, as matters of translocalization common to Gen ’95ers’ shared language ideological experience growing up. Globalizing processes explored include migrant acculturation, social leveling, nation-building, international affiliation, civic nationalism, language planning, translanguaging, market enlargement, economic exchange, and cross-cultural exchange. Vann considers mobilizations of symbolic resources garnered from Catalan’s local adequacy in the following institutions: the Church, la UB, and commercial Catalan-language mass media. The chapter examines these institutions’ roles in normalizing Catalan and crossing borders between the local and the global in Catalan society.
