Table of ContentsReviewsExploring a wide array of languages and contexts, this book poses fresh, thought-provoking questions about former models of identity research. The chapters offer a kaleidoscopic view of how we construct our fluid `selves' and act them out on a global stage. Overall, an engaging read that provides an innovative way to look at identity and identity research. * Sage L. Graham, University of Memphis, USA * Drawing on a wealth of data from various contexts and societies, Sjaak Kroon and Jos Swanenberg offer a timely analysis of the concept of chronotopicity in language and society. This collection of papers presents thought-provoking case studies on the timespace configuration in, for instance, Mongolian youth language, Chinese attention economy discourses, and identity work in European immigration contexts. * Dong Jie, Tsinghua University, China * With a rich and stimulating array of case studies across peripheral sociolinguistic contexts and domains, Chronotopic Identity Work skillfully demonstrates the utility of the Bakhtinian concept of chronotope to understand and appreciate the complexity of contemporary society. It is an essential reading for researchers working on language, identity and globalization. * Francesco L.
