"Remixing multilingualism" is conceptualised in this book as engaging
in the linguistic act of _using, combining and manipulating_
multilingual forms. It is about creating new ways of 'doing'
multilingualism through cultural acts and identities and involving a
process that invokes bricolage. This book is an ethnographic study of
multilingual remixing achieved by highly multilingual participants in
the local hip hop culture of Cape Town. In globalised societies today
previously marginalized speakers are carving out new and innovating
spaces to put on display their voices and identities through the
creative use of multilingualism.
This book contributes to the development of new conceptual insights
and theoretical developments on multilingualism in the global South by
applying the notions of stylization, performance, performativity,
entextualisation and enregisterment. This takes place through
interviews, performance analysis and interactional analysis, showing
how young multilingual speakers stage different personae, styles,
registers and language varieties.
