“…In applied linguistics, studies on adolescents and young adults' on-and offline, translingual practices are emerging (Dovchin, Pennycook, and Sultana 2018) as are studies on formal online language teaching and learning, i.e. with translanguaging perspectives (Wei and Ho 2018).…”

This paper studies how transnational children and their distantly located but emotionally close family members recreate their relationship using applications for online video calling. The focus is on the interaction of bodies and language, and if/how proximity of any kind is enabled. A critical posthumanist applied linguistics is embraced and communication is viewed as a bodily coordination ocurring in real time. This includes a material and dynamic view of language in constant transformation. Video captures are produced with three transnational, multilingual families in China and their adult relatives residing abroad (Europe). Moment analysis informs the processing of data. The analysis includes multipart semiotic assemblages of critical/creative moments and applies the Deleuzian concept of sense. The results suggest, the multi-local analogue/digital situation in online calling transcends conventionally imagined spatial 'boundaries'. Furthermore, a bodily, multisensory proximity emerge as simultaneously critical to and created by this transcending spatiality. Multi-local communicative practices shed light on the multiple, material and semiotic components of the human senses, and how a rational understanding of proximity might be twisted. Proximity constantly emerges 'in new copies' transcending the far away and close.

“…Dovchin et al. () similarly argue that English and other linguistic/cultural resources, language ideologies, and local contexts always occur in relation to one another; that is, the translingual mixtures of various linguistic/cultural repertoires are often associated with explicit and implicit sociocultural and historical relationships, biographies, and subtextual meanings. Therefore, it is important to understand English in terms of ‘translingualism,’ since it enables us to draw attention to the transformative ways in which voices, modes, texts, discourses, and codes operate in relation to each other.…”

This paper discusses the role of English in ‘enacting one's sexuality’ or ‘gendered identities’ in the Facebook practices of gay Mongolian men. Drawing on digital ethnographic studies, the study aims to illustrate how the role of English needs to be understood from the sophisticated complexities of ‘translingual English’ authored by Facebook users. It presents how Mongolian Facebook users are frequently involved with translingual English practices through their extensive relocalization of variable resources, including English, Mongolian, and other forms of codes, modes, styles, repertoires, and genres. The study also demonstrates how translingual English users deploy Facebook as a highly potent site and formula for the construction and performance of their ‘sexuality.’

“…Nessa nova configuração, a cultura pop desempenha papel fundamental nas práticas cotidianas de letramentos digitais nas redes sociais. Assim, representando variadas vozes na internet, as diversas manifestações culturais, mais do que a promoção de conteúdo, são meios de construção e reconstrução de recursos linguísticos (DOVCHIN, PENNYCOOK & SULTANA, 2018), configurando-se como elementos ímpares na construção linguística, social, ideológica e identitária de adolescentes e jovens adultos ligados à nova era digital.…”

O primeiro objetivo deste estudo piloto é descrever a influência dos repertórios linguísticos dos reality show estadunidense RuPaul Drag Race, e da websérie brasileira do youtube Girls In The House, no repertório linguístico dos adolescentes, jovens e adultos na comunidade LGBTTI. Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo, foram considerados os aspectos ideológicos e identitários (BAUMAN, 2005; MOITA LOPES, 2002) que permeiam as expressões linguísticas desses grupos. Além disso, ao refletir sobre o atual contexto de superdiversidade (VERTOVEC, 2007), de globalização (KUMARAVADIVELU, 2006) e de contatos linguísticos-culturais muito mais intensos (RYMES, 2010), notamos que o repertório linguístico que nasce dentro de grupos LGBTTIs (e que é disseminado pelos programas), também reconfigura-se em grupos de adolescentes e jovens adultos que se identificam com os aspectos culturais e ideológicos de grupos LGBTTI, sem necessariamente fazerem parte dessa comunidade. Um segundo objetivo deste estudo piloto é descrever e analisar o repertório de adolescentes e jovens adultos, por meio de dados retirados do Facebook, especificamente de postagens do grupo secreto LDRV: Melodrama Era que, atualmente, possui mais um milhão de membros. Posteriormente, foi realizado um estudo de caso a partir de entrevistas com membros do grupo a fim de descrever e analisar, os usos linguísticos adotados pelos indivíduos e relacioná-los ao repertório dos programas de televisão e da comunidade LGBTTIs. Os resultados apontam que as séries funcionam como modelo de uso linguístico para os falantes que, assim, expressam suas ideologias e questões identitárias.
