“…Blommaert (:112) has described the knowledge of such “invokable histories” as a discursive resource, conditioned by differentials of accessibility that must be negotiated in interaction. (See Agha [:329] for the related notion of “fluency in…chronotopic conventions.”) Indeed, as Perrino (:140) and others have argued, narratives constitute “interactional achievements” that involve the calibration of time‐space configurations—that is, chronotopes (Bakhtin )—in/between the story and the event of its telling (see also De Fina and Georgakopoulou , ; Baynham ; Wortham ). An interrogation of historicity, comprised as it is of narrative forms, thus beckons consideration of the chronotope.…”

“…Scholars in various disciplines have taken up the chronotope, proving it to be a useful analytical tool for making sense of all kinds of texts and how they function “as X‐rays of the forces at work in the culture system from which they spring,” as Bakhtin's editor (1981:425–26) writes in a glossary definition of the term. Among sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists, the concept has been applied in creative and fruitful ways to the analysis of language use in interaction and the narratives that emerge within it—in particular, in settings of migration and diaspora (Agha ; De Fina and Georgakopoulou ; Dick , ; Divita ; Eisenlohr ; Georgakopoulou ; Koven 2013a, 2013b; Lempert and Perrino ; Perrino , ; Schiffrin ; Wirtz ; Woolard ). A recent strand of thinking has considered how acts of identification—whether personal, political, or ethnolinguistic—are “chronotopically grounded” (Blommaert :97), enabled by the strategic invocation of spatiotemporal frameworks that are intelligible within certain cultural and historical settings (Blommaert and De Fina ; Karimzad ; Karimzad and Catedral ; Woolard ).…”

In this article, I aim to shed light on the linguistic and discursive practices entailed in historical meaning‐making—that is, the various ways in which social groups perceive the past and how those perceptions inflect the interactional present. Specifically, I present ethnographic data collected at a day center for Spanish seniors outside of Paris, focusing on interactions among a group of the center's members upon their visit to a museum exhibition documenting the Parisian bidonvilles [shantytowns] in which many of them lived after they migrated from Spain in the 1960s, over 40 years earlier. As they engage with one another and their guide, participants display and enact different modes of knowing the historical content of the exhibition. Drawing on Bakhtin's (1981) concept of the chronotope, I show how these modes of knowing the past may be recruited in ideological processes of affiliation and distinction. For the transnational migrants in later life who populate this article, such chronotopic calibration is a vital means of making sense of the past and establishing forms of belonging in the present.*

“…There are many precedents of social constructivist investigations of identity using linguistic strategies (see Irwin, 2010). Importantly, such research addresses the social action of identity processes rather than transcendentalist conceptions which focus primarily on psychological constructs (de Fina, et al, 2006). As interaction is central to social constructivism, Irwin (2010) argues so too is language.…”

This work adds to the brand orientation literature by showing that while brand strategies may sometimes be aspirational, multiple identities exist which may either challenge or support a brand. In this place branding study, in-depth interviews of local residents reveal the existence of multiple place identities as well as how these identities relate to a place brand strategy. A framework is provided which illustrates how longitudinal identity studies can be a useful way to assess changes to place identities and the internal effectiveness of brand implementation. It is proposed that the functional communication-based research approach together with the novel framework developed in this study has relevance to the brand orientation of corporations, as it does for places.

Summary statement of contributionThe relationship between place identities and brand orientation is established. In addition, a new communication based framework that has relevance to both place and corporations is provided to show that identities can be reviewed longitudinally to guide brand design and assess the internal effectiveness of brand implementation.

“…Using a narrative inquiry method (De Fina, 2011; De Fina & Georgakopoulou, 2015; Denzin, 1989; Denzin & Giardina, 2008; Riessman, 2008), I tried to understand and interpret the public narrative: the emotions, ideas, and values that express such an experiment in the public arena. Particular attention was paid to the content of the discourse and to what was said: expressions, words, repetition, and the given meaning.…”

The Memory of the Civil War in Algeria: Lessons from the Past with Reference to the Algerian Hirak

The Algerian Civil War during the 1990s is considered to be one of the violent wars in the Arab world. For one decade, isolated from the international community, the country and its civilians suffered from extremism, radicalism, torture, and assassinations. Today, it is arguable that the memory of the Algerian Civil War played a pivotal role in producing the legitimacy of the political system and framing the citizens’ perceptions of the postwar regime before the current manifestations. Nevertheless, no field research has explored how that memory is represented and recalled by the people. Through analyzing the public narrative, surveying and examining the public platforms, and conversations dealing with the past civil war in Algeria, this article seeks to demonstrate how that violent past is remembered in the public arena, the emotions that have been accumulated from such experience and the lessons that have been learned by the people. In doing so, we use many examples from the Algerian manifestations after 22 February 2019, or what is called “the Algerian Hirak.”
