Language Artifacts from the 1980s and 1990s: Beyond Governmental Resources
摘要
By documenting nine authentic Catalan and Castilian language artifacts from Gen ’95ers’ childhood and adolescence, previously absent from English-language publications, this chapter explores sociologies of language in Barcelona Metro between 1978 and 1998 beyond government-run sectors of Catalan society. The documentation features language-borne cultural products from higher education, big business, civil society, and popular culture that likely reached research participants in multiple ways, directly or indirectly. High resolution color imagery, English-language translations, and analyses help readers appreciate shifting language policies/practices and the mobilization of related translocal and transnational language ideologies in diverse nongovernmental domains of Catalan society. Vann relates period beliefs about languaging and symbolic boundaries to the formation of Gen ’95ers’ generation entelechy, doing being Catalan, and fer país Catalanism in a progressively globalizing milieu.
