These doulas accompany a community as a body of literature is born (akin to the doula as midwife), or, in the case of Judeo-Spanish, writes the language as a form of linguistic palliative care for a community whose historical language is facing imminent death (the death doula).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresenting three case studies of Spanglish, Portuñol, and Judeo-Spanish, the first part of \u003cem\u003eLinguistic Labor and Literary Doulas\u003c\/em\u003e places the emergence of these languages in their respective geographies and contexts. Attig discusses the work of authors and literary doulas, including Susana Chávez-Silverman, Gloria Anzaldúa, Fabián Severo, and Matilda Koén-Sarano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe framework of linguistic labor relates the creation of a literary corpus in an undervalued or stigmatized language context to other forms of domestic or gendered labor, often the responsibility of women and queer people. In the second part of the book, Attig places these literatures and theories in discussion with emerging scholarship in translinguistics, queer theories, and translation studies. By applying the notion of translinguistics to useful case studies that challenge traditional understandings of the frontiers between languages, \u003cem\u003eLinguistic Labor and Literary Doulas\u003c\/em\u003e models productive ways that we can discuss real-world linguistic practices as valuable aspects of culture and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934110597356,"sku":"9798765110997","price":135.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9798765110997-linguistic-labor-and-literary-doulas.jpg?v=1783897445"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/dr-or-prof-remy-attig.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
