This presentation focuses on the links between place, song, and language in Tibet, examining how social diversity is represented in musical constructions of place, and how this impacts on the maintenance of that diversity – specifically, linguistic diversity – in Tibet. I take as my starting point the observation that Tibet is linguistically diverse, but culturally integrated, and that song played a crucial role in this integration. Many speakers of non-Tibetic minority languages across the plateau traditionally sang in Tibetan, giving the language the status of what I call a ‘singua franca’ – a sung, rather than spoken, common language. Lyrics in traditional Tibetan songs expressed visions of place and space that described, and ascribed positive value to, linguistic and other forms of social diversity in Tibet. These visions of place, encoded in song, and reproduced amongst Tibet’s diverse populations, including its linguistic minorities, were part of a broader ideological environment of ‘banal cosmopolitanism’ in pre-modern Tibet. Since the late twentieth century, however, the lyrics of Tibetan songs began to imagine space and place in terms of a national geobody - a bounded, internally homogenous unit populated by people that speak the same language, share a common history (of descent), and share the same identity. Importantly, language - the Tibetan language - is portrayed as the soul or life-force of this geobody. This new expression of place in song, focused on a national geobody enlivened by a single language, is part of a pervasive environment of ‘banal nationalism’ in Tibet that has placed Tibet’s linguistic minorities under significant assimilatory pressure. Now, instead of singing themselves into a place within the diverse Tibetan world, Tibet’s linguistic minorities are singing their own alienation from the national geobody. The region’s ‘singua franca’ has lost its function as a shared medium of exchange between diverse peoples, and has instead become a shibboleth for national belonging and boundary marking. In tracking this change, I will explore how visions of place in song contribute to the maintenance or suppression of linguistic and other forms of social diversity.

This presentation builds upon work in media and fandom studies to explore the use of fanfiction as a pedagogical tool in a technology-enhanced university foreign language class. It examines the linguistic complexity and sociolinguistic choices of advanced learners of English who engaged in blog-based collaborative fanfiction to write a missing moment from Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Presented as part of the Bedömning, Dokumentation och Kvalitetsarbete (BeDoK) series on 15 October 2014.

This talk explores the use of fanfiction, writing that recycles and reimagines existing characters and storylines from books, movies and television, as a pedagogical tool in the English classroom to bridge both literary and language learning. It follows the implementation of The Blogging Hobbit, a task-based fanfiction project based on Tolkien’s The Hobbit, that was carried out as part of a course for students in a teacher education program at Malmö University and explores the outcomes and challenges that emerged.

Manegacha is one of Tibet’s approximately sixty minority languages and is spoken by several thousand Tibetans living in four villages on the northeast Tibetan Plateau. Fieldwork conducted in early 2016 has confirmed earlier anecdotal evidence that the Manegacha-speaking community is currently shifting to Tibetan. Although this shift is taking place in all four villages, it is particularly pronounced in one community, where the majority of families have ceased speaking Manegacha to their children. Why has this community ceased transmitting the language while others are, for the most part, continuing to maintain it? This presentation will examine this issue by drawing on interviews with Manegacha-speakers in which they expressed language ideologies about ethnicity, community, and appropriate language use. Members in all Manegacha-speaking communities expressed language ideologies that are both amenable and hostile towards continued intergenerational language transmission. Not only are supportive and non-supportive ideologies expressed in all communities, they are also often expressed concurrently by the same individuals. In light of these persistent contradictions, I argue that the crucial difference leading to language shift in some Manegacha-speaking communities is the existence of social mobilization; language shift occurs when a community mobilizes around ideologies that undermine the language, not simply when such ideologies are present in the community, or even when they are strongly held. I therefore argue that understanding social mobilization, and its capacity to translate ideology into policy, is crucial for understanding language maintenance and shift.

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
