Encounters involving different cultures and languages are increasingly
the norm in the era of globalization. While considerable attention has
been paid to how languages and cultures transform in the era of
globalization, their characteristic features prior to transformation
are frequently taken for granted. This pioneering book argues that
globalization offers an unprecedented opportunity to revisit
fundamental assumptions about what distinguishes languages and
cultures from each other in the first place. It takes the case of
global Korea, showing how the notion of 'culture' is both represented
but also reinvented in public space, with examples from numerous sites
across Korea and Koreatowns around the world. It is not merely about
locating spaces where translingualism happens but also about exploring
the various ways in which linguistic and cultural difference come to
be located via translingualism. It will appeal to anyone interested in
the globalization of language and culture.
