The 1996 constitution of South Africa is founded on the political philosophy of pluralism and is directed at promoting democratic values, equity and non-discrimination, human rights, national unity and the development of all the country's communities. The question asked in LiSA is how language planning can contribute towards the attainment of these national ideals. Set against the language political realities of the country - the a-symmetric power relations between the languages; the striking differences in the structural; functional and symbolic adaptation of the official languages; and the many language-related problems in the country - it debates the role of language in state administration, national integration, educational development and economic development. The volume concludes with a discussion of language development and language management.Impact, studies in language and society ;14.Language planningSouth AfricaLanguage policySouth AfricaSociolinguisticsSouth AfricaSouth AfricaLanguagesLanguage planningLanguage policySociolinguistics306.44/968EP 13150rvkWebb Victor N1923214MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911106218903321Language in South Africa4670026UNINA03815nam 22007214a 450 991114893020332120251117115047.0978661235680397805209285650520928563978128235680112823568019781597348249159734824410.1525/9780520928565(CKB)111087027178660(EBL)223547(OCoLC)475928328(SSID)ssj0000224779(PQKBManifestationID)11202314(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000224779(PQKBWorkID)10210523(PQKB)11018491(StDuBDS)EDZ0000056034(MiAaPQ)EBC223547(OCoLC)52998857(MdBmJHUP)muse30755(DE-B1597)520678(DE-B1597)9780520928565(Au-PeEL)EBL223547(CaPaEBR)ebr10051186(CaONFJC)MIL235680(Perlego)551809(UkBuK)886023(EXLCZ)9911108702717866020020827d2003 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPossessors and possessed museums, archaeology, and the visualization of history in the late Ottoman Empire /Wendy M.K. Shaw1st ed.University of California Press20031 online resource (xi, 269 pages) illustrations, mapsDescription based upon print version of record.9780520233355 0520233352 Includes bibliographical references (p. 247-260) and index.Moving toward the museum : the collection of antique spolia -- Parallel collections of weapons and antiquities -- The rise of the imperial museum -- The dialectic of law and infringement -- Technologies of collection : railroads and cameras -- Antiquities collections in the imperial museum -- Islamic arts in imperial collections -- Military collections in the late empire -- Islamic and archaeological antiquities after the Young Turk Revolution.Possessors and Possessed analyzes how and why museums-characteristically Western institutions-emerged in the late-nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire. Shaw argues that, rather than directly emulating post-Enlightenment museums of Western Europe, Ottoman elites produced categories of collection and modes of display appropriate to framing a new identity for the empire in the modern era. In contrast to late-nineteenth-century Euro-American museums, which utilized organizational schema based on positivist notions of progress to organize exhibits of fine arts, Ottoman museums featured military spoils and antiquities long before they turned to the "Islamic" collections with which they might have been more readily associated. The development of these various modes of collection reflected shifting moments in Ottoman identity production. Shaw shows how Ottoman museums were able to use collection and exhibition as devices with which to weave counter-colonial narratives of identity for the Ottoman Empire. Impressive for both the scope and the depth of its research, Possessors and Possessed lays the groundwork for future inquiries into the development of museums outside of the Euro-American milieu.MuseumsTurkeyHistoryMuseumsCollection managementTurkeyHistoryMuseumsHistory.MuseumsCollection managementHistory.069/.09561Shaw Wendy M.
