Articulations of Self and Politics in Activist Discourse

Abstract

This chapter introduces linguistic pragmatics as a poststructuralist perspective on language use, context and the self. It introduces a notion of articulation enriched by pragmatic insights. Exemplifying the value of his approach, Zienkowski analyses how one of his interviewees delineates boundaries for interpretation in talk about integration policy. He traces pragmatics back to its origins in pragmatism, philosophy of language and enunciative linguistics. The author argues that discourse and language use are characterised by negotiability, variability and adaptability. He considers metapragmatic or metadiscursive awareness to be preconditions for political awareness to emerge. Without an ability to perform and index (one’s relationship to) wider discursive realities by means of metadiscourse, it would be impossible to articulate critique or to engage in political engagement.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A watergolfke (literally: a little water wave) is an Antwerp dialect word for a haircut that involves artificial curling. Amane uses the term in order to construct a stereotypical image of the way in which elder—Antwerp—women mark their dignity at a certain age. The code-switch to the Antwerp dialect (through the diminutive ‘ke’) performs an important indexical function that marks her local Antwerp identity .

  2. 2.

    Jakobson’s work on shifters is closely related to Emile Benveniste ’s work on pronouns . The meanings of words such as ‘I’ or ‘you’ constantly shift in interactions and texts. Their meaning can only be established with reference to indexicals that point at relevant co-ordinates for interpretation (Jakobson 1971; Fludernik 1991).

  3. 3.

    Evidentials are linguistic markers that epistemologically indicate how one acquired specific information. In English, this happens lexically with reference to verbs such as ‘to see’, ‘to hear’, or ‘to perceive’ or with reference to adverbs such as ‘allegedly’ or ‘apparently’. Other languages have specific particles, suffixes or other devices that grammatically encode the epistemological source of an utterance or statement (Papafragou et al. 2007, 255–256).
