The essence of language is human activity. Communication with language is carried out through two basic human activities; speaking and listening during the interaction in a group of people. Immigrants in Makassar city communicate with immigrant communities and Makassar people. They used English and Indonesia to communicate with others. The aims of this article were to find out determinant factors of English as language choice among Unaccompanied Migrant Children (UMC) in Makassar and why they used English as their language choice to communicate with other people out of them. The data were taken from UMC in the shelter under the auspices of Makassar’s Social Office and in the public area of Makassar. This research was a qualitative approach; it was from a sociolinguistic perspective and focuses its analysis with the language choice among UMC. This research showed that most immigrants chose English as their language choice since they were in Makassar because they have acquired better than other international language and it has been mastered naturally by doing social interaction among themselves and people outside their community. UMC had more difficulties to socialize with Indonesian than the adult of Immigrants. Other than their lack of language mastery, they also have the anxiety to adapt to other immigrants and Makassar people. English was used by UMC to show their status as a foreigner who lived in a multicultural situation. Language becomes a power for a human being and it becomes a social identity for language user in one community. During the interaction of UMC in Makassar city, the role of English as an International language is shown.

“…Since its first appearance in a now seminal work by the sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (1967), the original theory has been subject to change, leading to the emergence of roughly three main avenues: classical Grounded Theory (GT), Interpretative Grounded Theory (IGT) and Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) (Sebastian, 2019). The latter two differ from GT in their denial of the researcher's neutrality, or rather of objective reality, favoring a more active role for the researcher and their background in the interpretation of data and, in the case of CGT, the construction of meaning (McAlinden, 2018;Sebastian, 2019). On the other hand, a clear difference between IGT and CGT can be found in the conceived relationship between theory and data.…”

From Submission to Soumission: Populist Perspectives on Culture

Introduction: why populism and culture? 1During a parliamentary debate in December 2007, Dutch politician Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV), coined the term "linkse hobby's" 2 . These left-wing hobbies included for instance international development aid, public broadcasting companies, the EU, free integration courses for immigrants, and subsidies for arts and culture. According to Wilders, money spent on such activities would only benefit a small part of the population, elites rather than the hardworking common people. It is as a result of this kind of remarks that populism is often considered to have an antagonistic relationship with culture. On the other hand, culture's hostility towards populism seems equally true. In this latter perspective, culture is presented as a way to better understand the patterns and dangers of populism, consider for example the success of Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 after the election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States. It is thus widely assumed that the relation between populism and culture is simply one of mutual exclusion -populism dismisses culture as a waste of time and money, while culture perceives and represents populism as its disturbing Other. However, by affirming that populists simply oppose culture, populism's own active use of culture tends to be underestimated.To be clear on my use of the term populism, I refer to the definition proposed by Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser (2017):Populism is a thin-centered ideology that considers society to be ultimately separated into two homogeneous and antagonistic camps, the 'pure people' and 'the corrupt elite', and which argues that politics should be an expression of the 'volonté générale' of the people (p. 6) Following this definition, populism has two main characteristics, namely a dichotomous view of society -divided between an imagined "us" and "them" -and the 1 Some passages in this introduction have appeared earlier in Jansma (2018). 2 Wilders further elaborated on his aversion to the so-called left-wing hobbies in a column published in 2009: "Kabinet, stop met al die linkse hobby's", originally published on stopdecrisis.nl on June 30 th , 2009, an initiative of de Telegraaf.

In the remainder of this dissertation, I will further elaborate on, and critically engage with this conceptualization of populism. In doing so, I will argue that culture is part and parcel of populism. If we want to understand how populism works and how it can be so successful, it is therefore essential to study this cultural component. Three recent examples from France and the Netherlands will now illustrate the importance of culture in populist discourse.In 2017, the year in which I started my PhD, presidential elections took place in France. These elections were different than usual...
