Sommario/riassunto

This original study looks at language practices in a government agency responsible for granting or denying legal status to transnational migrants in Spain. Drawing on a unique corpus of naturally-occurring verbal interactions between state officials and migrant petitioners as well as ethnographic materials and interviews, it provides a fascinating insight into the relationship between language, social heterogeneity, and practices of exclusion. The book investigates how a national



agency with homogenizing views of citizenship copes with the fundamental contradiction resulting from the state's commitment to the values of pluralism, justice, and equality, and its function as the regulator of access to socioeconomic resources. By focusing on information provision, the book explores how much room there is for individual agency in institutional contexts; and shows that what happens in front-line talk has very little to do with allowing immigrants access to crucial information but rather revolves around the regimentation of language and behavior, and the enactment of social control. This publication will be welcomed by students and researchers in the fields of sociolinguistics, language and immigration, institutional talk, and multilingualism.

Sommario/riassunto

« Les tessons du canari ne sont plus immobiles », disent les Sereer.  Dans les campagnes du Sine, au centre-ouest du Sénégal, les tessons de poteries qui jonchent les aires villageoises symbolisent la socialisation et la sacralisation anciennes des lieux ; ils témoignent de l’attachement des paysans sereer à leur terroir.  Or, ce confinement dans les vieux pays a cessé, les jeunes gens partent travailler dans les Terres neuves situées à l’est et s’y fixent. Cette mobilité géographique s’accompagne de changements de tous ordres qui mettent à mal les représentations anciennes quelque peu figées du système agraire et de la société rurale des Sereer du Sine. Dans les Terres neuves, une dynamique socio-économique très forte se fonde sur l’extension des espaces productifs et offre des possibilités d’enrichissement aux paysans. Toutefois, les potentiels de production ne semblent guère ménagés pour l’avenir.  Les terres de ces exploitants qui n’ont pas rompu avec ceux du Sine constituent un élargissement de l’espace agro-pastoral sereer.
