The study – that uses interpretive ethnographic means of data collection and analysis – takes as its case in point the Common Room, a communal building belonging to a regionally supported foundation meant to facilitate – through the support of volunteers – the integration of refugees in the South of the Netherlands. Following the discourse practices present among both managers and volunteers there, our analysis argues that the Dutch language courses held at the Common Room work toward the discursive enregisterment of refugees into a broader sense of Dutchness, that is, into an ideological meta-pragmatic discursive apparatus that spells out how and what someone should do in order to be(come) Dutch. These bottom-up integrational practices are used as a point of reflection for drawing considerations on the body of top-down policies that have been authored and authorized by the Dutch government in the past decade in order to achieve refugees’ integration into Dutch society.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1835925","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44055682","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 debate lives from its retrospective either-or character dividing the history of research on interculturality into a first epoch of epistemological naiveté and a more recent age of ethical consideration and reflection. This dichotomy however is too simplistic, and it blurs our views from perceiving a more complex present and past reality. This study assumes that research on interculturality has always built on normative orientations from social discourse and that this discourse has been under permanent change. Accordingly, it assumes that there has not been a paradigm shift or break in research but that this shift has only been used as a hegemonic instrument in inner-disciplinary discourses. This study re-traces this changing discourse of intercultural ethics using a grounded theory approach to central literature from the field. Since the 1960s, four epochs of different normative orientations have been identified from pragmatism via modesty and then a new hope up to a most recent epoch of new explorations. This results in a more complex picture of the normative discourse on interculturality beyond the positivism-poststructuralism debate.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1803887","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47466333","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}

In doing so, the text departs from a brief genealogical exercise in which the theorizations on literacies studies in Brazil and elsewhere are compared and contrasted, with emphasis to the evolving notions of critique and citizenship. Analysis has shown that the new Brazilian National Literacy Policy is part of an orchestrated set of actions in which neoliberal, religious, ideological and militaristic driving forces operate despite official claims of discursive neutrality. By advocating in favor of socially-just literacy pedagogies and by cherishing the notions of critique as ‘reading as we read ourselves’ and ‘active citizenship’, this paper calls for a reimagined self-critique along with a set of collective actions if literacy researchers and teachers wish to tackle the challenges and complexities surrounding literacy wars in neoconservative times.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1800714","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48715852","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 contribution investigates possible discrepancies between top-down curricular policies and bottom-up practices at a Polish complementary school in the Netherlands. It focuses on the implementation of the school’s curriculum in times of globalization and superdiversity and explores the maintenance of linguistic and cultural values in a multilingual setting. In doing so it uses the curriculum domains as introduced by Goodlad and colleagues, i.e. the ideological, formal, perceived, operational and experiential curriculum, as an interpretive framework to analyze possible discrepancies between curricular policies and educational practices. The results reveal discrepancies between top-down policies and bottom-up practices. Classroom events and interviews illustrate the complex relationship between language and identity, showing that in a superdiverse classroom monolithic identity categories do not exist and therefore promoting Polish identity is like trying to hit a moving target. This study adds to a growing corpus of multicultural discourse studies on ethnic identity construction in education and raises awareness about the improper use of monolingual and monocultural policies in linguistically and culturally diverse classrooms.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1797054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46267261","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}

Crime reports, as the typical form of ‘negative’ news in Western news discourse analysis, have been chosen in order to find out if and how Positivity is constructed discursively in such reports. The context of ‘Iranian’ newspaper journalism and the field of ‘crime and misbehaviour’ are both among under-researched areas, especially from a discourse analysis perspective. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the data showed that Positivity is constructed regularly in the Iranian crime corpus. Qualitative analysis of the crime reports showed that Positivity is constructed through the headline and lead to the rest of the news report and is usually construed via positive assessments of the police force and their actions. In addition, there are various terms referring to ‘forgiveness’ and ‘mercy’ which construe Positivity in such news reports. Generally, the abundance of Positivity in Iranian crime reports lends support to the proposition of this news value as a separate category. Also, its construction in the Iranian crime corpus seems to be highly influenced by the institutional power (i.e. police here) and the ‘cultural’ norms of the society.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1786573","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45255902","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}

Students with a migration background, who were born in the Netherlands, often labeled themselves Turk (‘Turk’), Marokkaan (‘Moroccan’), and buitenlander (‘foreigner’), and referred to others as Nederlander (‘Dutch’). Students used these categories in locally specific ways, for example, to engage in the management of everyday social relations and to construct social hierarchies. Teachers, none of whom had a migration background, appeared to interpret students’ labeling practices as related to issues with integration and belonging. They problematized and sometimes rejected students’ categorization, while at the same time, they also displayed orientation to a categorization system that differentiated between students with and without a migration background. Using tools from membership categorization analysis, the paper examines how these divergent category interpretations surfaced and evokes the effects this may have on students and their relationships with teachers.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1780243","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47127503","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 language policy in the country embraces all the languages of the country and promotes their use in education, mass media, provision of legal services, etc. Policy documents mention the equality of the nine languages. However, the presumed number of languages and, to some extent, their naming reflect a persistent colonial and missionary legacy, echoing the argument of some sociolinguists that languages in Africa are the creation of colonialists or missionaries. Based on insights from recent sociolinguistic and ethnographic studies on diversity, language and language use, this paper problematizes the notion of language, the naming of languages and their enumeration to highlight the limits of multilingual policy discourses to capture the superdiversity in countries of the global south, even within pluralistic language policy contexts such as the one in Eritrea.","PeriodicalId":45223,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Discourses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17447143.2020.1771346","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46225010","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}
