This decision affects and will have long-lasting effects on any research project involving the UK and international partners, particularly in Global South contexts. We use Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) to analyse news, blogs, interviews that UK-based academics wrote in response to the cuts announcement, from 11 March 2021 to 30 April 2021. We identified the following metaphors: CUTS ARE AN ENTITY; CUTS ARE A THREAT, CUTS ARE ILLNESS, CUTS ARE VIOLENCE; plus, on the other hand, RESEARCH IS HEALTH, RESEARCH IS A JOURNEY, RESEARCH IS CONNECTION. UK academics have used ‘idioms of distress’, which are cultural expressions, often metaphorical, through which people articulate distress. Therefore, our contribution is threefold. First, we suggest that the metaphors used have a persuasive and evaluative aim and function. Second, we open up a space for an interdisciplinarity between CMA and ‘idioms of distress’. Third, we warn about the need for the UK government and responsible institutional bodies to restore communication and trust with the global academic research community in International Development.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46490552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both books recognize dialogue as an indispensable tool to develop relationships of collective thinking and action within our society. To Barthes et al. (2012), dialogue is identified as the ‘zero degree of language.’ At this degree, communication becomes a transformative act emancipated from ideology. Likewise, to Freire et al. (2020), dialogue becomes a pedagogical condition for new yet critical consciousness to emerge and challenge constricting worldviews, knowledge production, and boundaries to human existence. Looking around the world, conflicts, fear, and coercion dominate headlines raising debates over refugees and nationalism in the Western societies that have become even more charged during the Covid era of isolation and polarization. With increasing conflict, migration and globalization bringing innumerable changes to social, cultural, and political environments, we need a proper language to describe, conceptualize, and practice multiculturism, intercultural communication, and diversity (Beck 2011). This book review starts with an overview of each book and then discusses ideas shared by both books and thoughts and visions that contrast or complement each other. Lastly, the review article concludes with questions for readers to further think about decolonizing normativity and embodying the alternative ways of knowing and being.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42252584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a Dialectic Discourse Analysis approach, this study aims to disclose how similar discursive resources and societal values can be dialectically employed to advance both securitized and desecuritized migration discourses. Specifically, the study illustrates how paradigmatic lexical choices, collective memory narratives, religious values, and vox populi discourses can be utilized to advance both securitized and desecuritized approaches to asylum seekers, with no significant different between the two periods studied. The study posits that by appropriating central societal values towards each position, the discourse become fixed in opposition, as neither side is able to engage in a constructive dialogue with the opposing side. The discussion suggests a possibility for engaging in a productive discourse which shifts beyond fixed oppositions with respect to asylum seekers and other perceived threats to the ontological security of a society.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44435596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Constitutive Metamodel envisions a pluralistic field of communication theory that invites dialogue among multiple traditions of thought on practical communication problems. Can the Constitutive Metamodel serve as a heuristic framework to facilitate multicultural dialogue on communication theory? Literature on de-Westernizing communication theory is reviewed both to identify potential barriers and to illuminate openings to multicultural dialogue via the metamodel. To illustrate one approach and, we hope, to stimulate further discussion, a partially reconstructed metamodel is presented that incorporates selected Asian (Confucian, Buddhist) and Western (Cybernetic, Spiritual) traditions of communication theory and attempts to place them all in dialogical relations that avoid the false dichotomy of ‘East versus West.’ In conclusion, we reflect critically on this theoretical exploration and the prospect for future work.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47191446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This policy has serious ramifications for the academic promotions, tenures, research grants and allowances of these scholars. Yet, as it is English that has become the privileged language for global academic publication, there is the tendency that it gives rise to linguistic hegemony in knowledge production and dissemination. Drawing upon in-depth interview results from two Indonesian professors who have ample experiences in writing and publication in the field of linguistics, this study seeks to discover strategies they employed to de-westernize hegemonic knowledge in global academic publishing. In so doing, the article further contributes to the debates over the politics of knowledge production and dissemination amid the intellectual hegemony of knowledge in academic publication.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49143130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three aspects of framing at the thematic, lexical and syntactic level are defined: occurrence, marked description and prominence and, accordingly, a corpus of one hundred crime-news articles in Dutch and Iranian national newspapers is analyzed. Taking a systematic and replicable approach, it was found that crime-news narratives in the two countries frame crime and crime-related events in different ways with regard to the representation of participants, actions and circumstantial elements. The implication of these different framing patterns is explained in terms of different socio-cultural contexts and discussed with regard to the discourse culture of journalism.

However, a tendency towards a negative and sexualized construction of feminism in popular culture has been documented. One way to examine opinions and attitudes towards social matters is to explore metaphors as they influence reasoning and decision-making. Previous work has shown that common metaphor patterns for women include comparing them to animals or plants, body parts, commodities or outsiders. Here we use standard methods of metaphor identification to explore the framing of feminism and women in feminism-related news in online popular media in Spanish, using a sample of articles taken from News on the Web (Corpus del Español). The results show that the most common metaphors on feminism and women are warfare ones, highlighting the intention of empowering the movement. However, war metaphors may convey negative connotations such as an increase in fear emotions and political polarization. Other metaphors found for feminism also tend to foreground power and force. In the case of women, many metaphors convey victimization and objectification. Finally, some metaphors used to frame women that are common in other discourses – such as women are animals or farmland – were absent in online articles on feminism.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42612235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper takes instances of translanguaging on Facebook as markers of semiotic and linguistic freedoms in which individual agency undercuts the global semiotic flows and goes against the normative expectation to act in an unpredictable way in the face of globalization. We thus argue for the role of assertiveness, spontaneity arising from the shared heritage, bilingualism and ‘play’ as motivation for the ‘messy’ yet meaningful virtual landscape.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2021.1932921","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49429072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corpus of Nigerian lingo was developed using a combination of qualitative methods that included personal interviews, focus groups and observation methods. The diffusion and use of Nigerian lingo in Zimbabwe proves films’ expediency in extemporaneous foreign language learning. The language acquisition process is induced by the cultural appeal of Nollywood films and the idolisation of people and culture depicted in the films. The adoption and adaptation of Nigerian lingo in Zimbabwe as a result of exposure to Nollywood movies is a significant contribution to discourses of multiculturalism.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2021.1941064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49171313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
