Findings point to the use of frames of reference around family, faith, freedom and societal catastrophe. These frames were though amplified through use of self-narratives of suffering in defence of beliefs and traditions. A key driver of the identity positioning work was therefore ‘stake inoculation’. That is the use of cues to defend against accusations of bigotry. This move in English is largely ‘defensive', whereas in Italian it involves a more combative strategy of ‘othering’.","PeriodicalId":46608,"journal":{"name":"Language and Intercultural Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135271595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The social semiotic of reclaiming an identity from racist discourse: investigating the subaltern identity of South African coloureds by means of intersectional discourse analysis","authors":"Ewa Glapka","doi":"10.1080/14708477.2023.2256306","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14708477.2023.2256306","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis paper advances a socio-semiotic approach to reclaiming identities. The discussion draws on interviews with South African coloureds, i.e., members of a mix-race and multi-ethnic community formed during slavery and (post)colonialism, and for a long time positioned as ‘black-and-white residue’. Approaching coloureds’ post-apartheid reinvention of self as a socio-semiotic process, the paper approaches it via the magnifying glass of indexicality analysis. An intersectional discourse analysis examines how speakers re-negotiate coloureds’ inherited position between dominant races by, e.g., investing meaning into racialized and classed objects and spaces. Concluding, the paper discusses the critical role of language and culture in the postcolonial re-appropriation of racial identities.Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia socjo-semiotyczne podejście do odzyskiwania tożsamości w kontekście postkolonialnym. Badanie opiera się na wywiadach z południowoafrykańskimi koloredkami, tj. członkiniami wielorasowej i wieloetnicznej wspólnoty uformowanej w warunkach niewolnictwa i postkolonializmu, przez lata pozycjonowanej jako ‘czarno-białe resztki’. Traktując odzyskiwanie tożsamości przez koloredów jako proces socjo-semiotyczny, analiza pokazuje je przez pryzmat analizy indeksykalności. W ramach intersekcjonalnej analizy dyskursu, artykuł przedstawia, jak uczestniczki badania renegocjują tradycyjną pozycję koloredów pomiędzy dominującymi rasami, np. nadając nowe znaczenia przedmiotom oraz przestrzeniom o znaczeniu rasowym i klasowym. Podsumowując, artykuł omawia krytyczną rolę języka i kultury w postkolonialnym re-artykułowaniu tożsamości rasowych.KEYWORDS: Discourse analysisidentitySouth Africa Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Emphasis mine.2 Ethics Clearance issued by Free State University (UFS-HUM-2015-72).3 With the exception of one bisexual.4 Consequently, I use the notions of ‘identity’ and ‘subjectivity’ interchangeably.

The findings demonstrate that non-human categories such as naming, death, and food are central in ‘identity’ construction.
