Resumo: | This paper makes a case for viewing the concept of translanguaging as one that puts a heavy strain on a good deal of the time-honoured concepts of language contact, language code, code-switching, discrete languages as self-contained entities, hermetically sealed off from one another, and so forth — that is to say, the entire conceptual paraphernalia with the help of which we are used to working when dealing with the phenomenon of multilingualism. Far from being an exception to a rule, multilingualism is recognised as the norm in today’s world, the much-touted monolingualism having been exposed as the product of repressive policies enacted in the past in the name of geopolitical expediencies. Among these repressive policies is the formation of nation-states, historically brandished as the bulwark of a collective identity and also of differentiation vis-à-vis those with whom one no longer feels any common bond — an exception foisted upon the natural order of things. In other words, monolingualism is a point totally out of the curve, a fact that is historically attested, though overshadowed by its ‘contamination’ with factors that have to do with deep-seated geo-political interests. |

Lejos de ser una excepción, se sabe que el multilingüismo es el más común en el mundo, y el llamado monolingüismo no es más que el producto de políticas represivas practicadas en tiempos pasados en nombre de intereses geopolíticos, entre los cuales, la creación y / o mantenimiento de estados nacionales como un baluarte de identidad colectiva y diferenciación en lugar de descontentos, "forasteros": un fenómeno de excepción impuesto al orden natural de las cosas. Es decir, el monolingüe es un punto totalmente fuera de la curva, un hecho históricamente atestiguado, pero eclipsado por la interferencia de factores geopolíticos.Este trabalho tem por objetivo pleitear que o conceito de translinguagem desafia uma série de conceitos tradicionalmente consagrados como contato linguístico, código linguístico, code-switching, línguas discretas concebidas como objetos autocontidos e hermeticamente isolados um do outro etc.– enfim, toda a parafernália conceitual com a qual estamos acostumados a abordar o fenômeno de multilinguisimo. Longe de ser uma exceção, multilinguísmo é sabidamente o que há de mais comum no mundo, sendo o dito monolinguísmo nada mais que produto de políticas repressivas praticadas em tempos passados em nome de interesses geopolíticos, dentre os quais, a criação e/ou a manutenção de estados-nações como baluarte de identidade coletiva e diferenciação em oposição aos desafetos, tachados de ‘forasteiros’ – um fenômeno de exceção imposto sobre a ordem natural das coisas. Ou seja, monolinguíssimo é um ponto totalmente fora da curva, um fato historicamente atestado, porém ofuscado pela ingerência por fatores de ordem geopolítica.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2022-08-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cel/article/view/866752510.20396/cel.v64i00.8667525Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; v. 64 (2022): Publicação Contínua; e022024Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; Vol. 64 (2022): Continous Publication; e022024Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; Vol. 64 (2022): Publicación continua; e0220242447-0686reponame:Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cel/article/view/8667525/29699Brazil; 2021Brasil; 2021Brasil; 2021Copyright (c) 2022 Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRajagopalan, Kanavillil2023-07-04T17:40:47Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8667525Revistahttp://revistas.iel.unicamp.br/index.php/cel/PUBhttp://revistas.iel.unicamp.br/index.php/cel/oaispublic@iel.unicamp.br||revistacel@iel.unicamp.br2447-06860102-5767opendoar:2023-07-04T17:40:47Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false |
