摘要

摘要本文对探索语言、种族、工作和权力之间的相互联系感兴趣,尤其是在涉及加勒比地区时。根据在波多黎各别克斯岛市收集的民族志数据,并借鉴米哈伊尔·巴赫金等人的理论见解,我们试图理解被种族边缘化的主体在旅游经济的背景下,在日常生活中抵抗和反对种族主义、殖民主义和劳工剥削所采用的语言策略。我们认为,巴赫金在充满冲突和意识形态饱和的背景下使用语言的方法,特别是他对双重发音、多语和异语症等语言现象的处理,被证明有助于阐明,或被种族边缘化的主体创建和使用当地特定语言语域的方式,作为一种要求代理的形式和一种抵抗机制。我们认为,在别克斯岛的背景下,语言已成为别克斯岛工人抵制和适应在旅游业工作的主要工具,同时保留和维护独特的种族特征。

Language, race and work in the Caribbean: a Bakhtinian approach
Abstract This essay is interested in exploring the interconnections between language, race, work and power, particularly as it concerns the Caribbean region. Drawing on ethnographic data gathered in the Puerto Rican island-municipality of Vieques, and borrowing theoretical insight from the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin, among others, we try to make sense of the linguistic strategies employed by racially marginalized subjects to resist and contest racism, colonialism and labor exploitation in their daily lives, within the context of a tourism economy. We argue that Bakhtin’s approach to language use in conflict-ridden and ideologically-saturated contexts, particularly his treatment of linguistic phenomena like double-voicing, multilingualism and heteroglossia, proves useful in shedding light on the strategic uses of language of, or to the ways in which racially-marginalized subjects create and employ locally-specific linguistic registers as a form of claiming agency and as a mechanism of resistance. In the context of Vieques, we argue, language has become the main vehicle through which Viequense workers resist and accommodate to work in the tourism sector while retaining and preserving a unique ethnic identity.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of the Sociology of Language (IJSL) is dedicated to the development of the sociology of language as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches – theoretical and empirical – supplement and complement each other, contributing thereby to the growth of language-related knowledge, applications, values and sensitivities. Five of the journal''s annual issues are topically focused, all of the articles in such issues being commissioned in advance, after acceptance of proposals. One annual issue is reserved for single articles on the sociology of language. Selected issues throughout the year also feature a contribution on small languages and small language communities.
