Since it is not the student alone who needs to be transformed, she proposes a model of teaching that is insistent on the teacher's scholarship as a tool for hearing the many voices and accents in the South African classroom. For Coetzee, 'accentedness' is a description for actively working towards the ending of apartheid by being aware of the legacies of the past, without attempting to empty out or gloss over the conflicts and violence that may exist under the surface. In the broad context of education, 'accent' can be an accent of speech; an attitude; a stance against being 'understood'; yet a way of teaching that requires teacher and pupil to understand each other's contexts. This is a book about the relationships created by the use of language to convey knowledge, particularly in translation. The ideas it presents are evocative, thought-provoking and challenging at times. Accented Futures makes a significant and important contribution to research on identity in post-apartheid South Africa as well as to the fields of education and translation studies.SociolinguisticsSouth AfricaTranslating and interpretingSouth AfricaLanguage and educationSouth AfricaApartheidSouth AfricaSociolinguisticsTranslating and interpretingLanguage and educationApartheid306.44968Coetzee Carli1623769UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910810749803321Accented futures3958384UNINA
