Political Activism In The Linguistic Landscape by Philip Seargeant
This book examines how linguistic landscapes—public signs, graffiti, posters and other visible language in physical and digital spaces—function as sites of political contestation and activism, combining empirical case studies with theoretical discussion to show how activists use language visibility, multilingual practices and semiotic resources to challenge power, shape public opinion and mobilize communities. It situates such practices within sociolinguistic and political frameworks, discusses methodological and ethical issues in researching public language, and highlights how everyday linguistic choices reconfigure civic space and collective identity.
