| Abstract | A proliferation of research on transnationality has emerged over the past few decades in the fields of cultural anthropology, population studies, social and cultural geography, economics, to name but a few of the pertinent social sciences. Research in linguistics, and more specifically, sociolinguistics, has produced relatively few work on the ethnography and linguistic practices of transnationals. Ong (1999) exposes needs for observing the environs concerning transnationals, arguing that if “we pay attention to the transnational practices and imaginings of the nomadic subject and the social conditions that enable his flexibility, we obtain a different picture of how nation-states articulate with capitalism in late modernity. […] His very flexibility in geographical and social positioning is itself an effect of novel articulations between the regimes of the family, the state, and capital, the kinds of practical-technical adjustments that have implications for our understanding of the late modern subject” (p, 3). An investigative inclination of ways in which versatility of individuals appropriates larger regimes of social organization grounds the current research. |
