This collection explores how people use language to construct the relation between their self and the location they occupy, or to which they wish to belong. Narrative practice therefore becomes the context and practice through which these participants construct their local identities and their places, both understood as dynamic and in continuous evolution. While the theme of place-identity has been explored especially in a context of migration, the novelty of the volume lies in its investigation of the multiple contexts in which identity is examined; prominence is nonetheless assigned to processes of displacement and uprooting often combined with increased social inequality that make the investigation of ways in which place is discursively constructed and of the roles it plays in processes of self-presentation and identity creation so crucial. The volume adopts a novel interdisciplinary approach making this key reading for researchers in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, discursive psychology, geography, and linguistic anthropology.
