These analyses lead to the elaboration of a paradigm of multiple globalizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\",,, the book is valuable for providing an overarching framework of societal influences upon the LL of world-cities. Scholars will also benefit immensely from the authors' summaries of a wealth of sociological theory bearing upon modernity, globalisation, multiculturalism and transnational diasporas, and nationhood.\" - Robert A. Troyer, Western Oregon University, in: Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development    “This volume is undoubtedly a very solid contribution to the rather new field of LL (Linguistic Landscapes): on the one hand because of its sound grounding in sociological theory on globalization and multiculturalism, and on the other, for the promising theoretical model Ben-Rafael and Ben-Rafael have elaborated of a LL paradigm for multiple globalizations.” - Christine Hélot, University of Strasbourg, in: Linguistic Landscape 6\/1 (2020)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Figures, Illustrations and Tables  Abbreviations    Introduction    1 Investigating Multiple Globalizations   1 Linguistic Landscapes   2 World-cities and Globalization   3 Multiculturalism   4 The National Principle   5 Research Questions and the Theoretical Argument   6 In Search of Singularities    2 Methodologies and Research Objectives   1 The Research Settings   2 Collecting and Analyzing Data   3 Summing Up    3 Berlin   1 Introduction   2 Globalization in Downtowns   3 Galeries Lafayette   4 A Residential Middle-Class Neighborhood   5 A Turkish-Speaking Area   6 A Mixed Turkish-Arab Area   7 Where Arabic-Speakers Dominate   8 Conclusion    4 Paris   1 Introduction   2 The Champs Elysées   3 Chinatown   4 Jewish Sarcelles-Pletzel   5 Islam at the Goutte d’Or   6 Conclusion    5 Brussels   1 A Hub of Contradictions   2 Downtown Brussels   3 French-Speaking Neighborhoods   4 Flemish Areas   5 Arab Muslim Neighborhoods   6 The sub-Saharan Quarter   7 The Asian Quarter   8 The Turkish Neighborhood   9 The European Quarter   10 Conclusion    6 London   1 Introduction   2 Central London’s LL   3 Golders Green   4 Chinatown in Soho   5 London’s Little India   6 Conclusion    7 Tel Aviv-Jaffa   1 Introduction   2 Downtowns   3 Ramat Hasharon   4 Bnei Brak   5 Old Rosh Ha’Ayin   6 Ajami   7 The Central Bus Station   8 Conclusion    8 Downtowns Around the World   1 Introduction   2 Tokyo-Yokohama     3 New Delhi   4 Addis Ababa     5 Three cases – not too far away    9 An LL Paradigm for Multiple Globalizations   1 The Sociological Perspective   2 Configurations in Downtowns   3 Residential Areas   4 Ethno-cultural Quarters   5 Empirical Conclusions: Answering the Research Questions    10 Emblems of Singularities   1 Introduction   2 The Wall of Berlin: The East Gallery   3 Paris under-the-ground   4 Brussels’ Comic Strip Murals   5 London’s Double-Decker Buses   6 Tel Aviv: the Florentin neighborhood   7 Conclusion    11 General Conclusions   1 A sociology of Linguistic Landscape   2 From Modernity to Multiple Modernities   3 Globalization Instead of Modernity?     4 Multiculturalism and Transnational Diasporas     5 The Pertinence of the Nation     6 Multiple Globalizations    Appendix 1: Indexes of Globalization   Appendix 2: Major Areas of Destination for Contemporary Migration Flows   Appendix 3: Number of Civil Servants per Population (Selected European Countries)   Bibliography   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210745667927,"sku":"9789004360839","price":142.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/multiple-globalizations-linguistic-landscapes-in-world-cities-9789004360839","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
