Cross Language Dynamics Reshaping Community

项目摘要

This programme aims to develop a new Modern Languages (ML) research paradigm capable of re-conceptualizing the relationship between language and community for the benefit of a more open world. It addresses questions of whether and how the languages we speak define the communities we align with, and how language community boundaries may be made more porous. It identifies 3 intersecting community configurations attributing different roles to language, and attracting distinct methodologies: the multilingual, the transnational and the translingual. In each case, it investigates ties and disjunctions between language and nationhood, and the dynamic of top-down institutional and grassroots networking dimensions of community-building. Tackling these issues across all 3 configurations, each corresponding to a research strand, it aims to recast ML agendas, reshape adjacent disciplinary priorities, offer insights to policy-makers, and invest the civic university with new purpose.Three core institutions will each lead a research strand: Manchester (multilingual), Durham (transnational), and the School of Advanced Study (SAS), University of London (translingual). We draw on pockets of excellence at 9 other HEIs. Our main languages represent some of the world's largest language communities. They also have the capacity to traverse the strands: Arabic, Chinese, German, Russian, and Spanish are at once community languages, the glue binding transnational networks, and a medium through which language communities embrace translingual values. Related cross-cutting patterns characterize 8 international cities which provide nodal points for our research. We will link stakeholders to relevant strands: city councils to multilingualism; foreign policy think tanks and cultural diplomacy institutions to transnationalism; translation networks and media, arts and cultural organizations to translingualism. Within a new arena of collaboration, we will facilitate dialogue between ML's different branches, with allied humanities disciplines and with stakeholders. Reconciling their responses to a focused set of questions, we aim to forge a groundbreaking paradigm for theorizing the language-community relationship. Pedagogy initiatives centre on mobilizing the linguistic resources of minority communities for societal cohesion purposes. We will generate training activities integrating our programme's multiple disciplinary approaches and our main languages, targeting PGRs via doctoral consortia. RAs will benefit from a step change in career preparation via project partner placements and Digital Humanities skill sets.Outputs include a database capturing urban linguistic landscapes, monographs and edited volumes re-conceiving the language-community relationship, a film, a prospectus for future ML research, and publications summarizing the outcomes of cross-strand dialogues and single-strand research. We are commissioning an opera inspired by the aspiration to transcend language difference through music. Outputs co-produced with project partners include reports for city councils and arts organisations; briefings on the politics of transnational language communities; advice packages for translator networks and SMEs operating across language communities. We will produce a report on revitalizing ML curricula by unifying our field around a coherent set of themes and approaches. Combining significant scale with a focused agenda, our programme will maximize impact and sustainability. Its legacies will be to (i) transform ML's profile within the humanities (ii) initiate long-term improvements to community relations and intercultural understanding; (iii) raise public consciousness about language's potential within cultural and creative arts communities; and (iv) develop ML curricula which overcome the language/content dichotomy and emphasize community-based learning. They will be secured via a Centre for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language and Community.

该计划旨在开发一种新的现代语言（ML）研究范式，能够重新概念化语言与社区之间的关系，以利于更开放的世界。它解决了我们所说的语言是否以及如何定义我们所对齐的社区的问题，以及如何使语言社区边界更加多孔。它确定了三个交叉的社区配置归因于不同的角色，语言，并吸引不同的方法：多语种，跨国和双语。在每一种情况下，它调查语言和民族之间的联系和分离，以及社区建设的自上而下的机构和基层网络层面的动态。在所有3个配置中解决这些问题，每个配置对应一个研究链，它旨在重新制定ML议程，重塑相邻的学科优先事项，为政策制定者提供见解，并为公民大学投入新的目的。三个核心机构将各自领导一个研究链：曼彻斯特（多语言），达勒姆（跨国）和高级研究学院（SAS），伦敦大学（双语）。我们从其他9所高等院校的优秀学生中汲取经验。我们的主要语言代表了世界上一些最大的语言社区。他们也有能力穿越这些线：阿拉伯语、汉语、德语、俄语和西班牙语同时是社区语言，是联结跨国网络的粘合剂，也是语言社区接受双语价值观的媒介。相关的交叉模式表征8个国际城市，为我们的研究提供了节点。我们将把利益攸关方与相关方面联系起来：市议会与多语制联系起来;外交政策智库和文化外交机构与跨国主义联系起来;翻译网络和媒体、艺术和文化组织与双语制联系起来。在一个新的合作竞技场中，我们将促进ML不同分支之间的对话，与相关的人文学科和利益相关者进行对话。通过收集他们对一系列问题的回答，我们的目标是建立一个开创性的范式，将语言与社区的关系理论化。教学举措的核心是调动少数群体社区的语言资源，以促进社会凝聚力。我们将通过博士生联盟开展培训活动，整合我们计划的多学科方法和我们的主要语言，针对PGR。通过项目合作伙伴的安置和数字人文技能组合，RA将从职业准备的一步变化中受益，产出包括捕捉城市语言景观的数据库，重新构想语言社区关系的专著和编辑卷，电影，未来ML研究的招股说明书，以及总结跨链对话和单链研究成果的出版物。我们正在委托制作一部歌剧，其灵感来自于通过音乐超越语言差异的愿望。与项目合作伙伴共同制作的成果包括为市议会和艺术组织编写的报告;关于跨国语言社区政治的简报;为跨语言社区运营的翻译网络和中小企业提供的建议包。我们将通过围绕一套连贯的主题和方法统一我们的领域，编写一份关于振兴ML课程的报告。结合重大规模与重点议程，我们的计划将最大限度地发挥影响力和可持续性。它的遗产将是（i）改变ML在人文学科中的形象（ii）启动社区关系和跨文化理解的长期改善;（iii）提高公众对文化和创意艺术社区中语言潜力的认识;（iv）开发ML课程，克服语言/内容二分法，强调基于社区的学习。他们将通过语言和社区跨学科研究中心获得。
