The contributors argue that multilingual repertoires are shaped by
various forms of mobility – physical, symbolic, and digital. Across
diverse contexts, mobility generates new linguistic resources, reshapes
identities, and prompts individuals to negotiate belonging and power.
They show that multilingualism is flexible, emotionally charged, and
deeply tied to social hierarchies, conflict, and shifting ideologies.
While mobility can foster hybridity and creativity, it can also
reinforce exclusion and nationalism. Overall, the volume highlights
multilingualism as dynamic, contested, and central to understanding
contemporary social life.
