“…In Fairclough's (1993; terms, discourse refers on a relatively concrete level to the linguistic and social practices that are typical of certain groups and ideologies, whereas ideology is a more abstract concept alluding to a certain view of the world (see e.g. Määttä & Pietikäinen 2014). It is suggested in this study that certain discourses are linked to linguistic choices (see e.g.…”

This book is about how urban linguistic landscapes reflect and create sociolinguistic, societal and urban dynamics, and how these relations can be scientifically explored. Focusing on the linguistic landscapes of selected cities in northern and southern Europe, it sheds light on how urban areas with diverse profiles differ, and how the linguistic landscapes change through tourism and migration, or in times of crisis. The chapters put forward sophisticated and novel ways of approaching urban sociolinguistics and they enhance understanding of the challenges and opportunities included in the study of sociolinguistic variation in these linguistic landscapes. The book is targeted at scholars in the field of urban sociolinguistics and those wishing to approach the subject through the lens of linguistic landscapes. It also gives interesting suggestions to people involved in language planning and policy reflection, as well as those engaged in urban redevelopment planning. Last but not least, it offers theoretical and methodological guidance to students and researchers in a variety of disciplines.

“…I also define discourses here from the Foucauldian perspective as relatively stable ways of constructing meanings of different aspects of the world from a specific viewpoint (Foucault, 1972, 80). Discourses have material conditions and consequences (Määttä & Pietikäinen, 2014), and therefore the following critical discourse analysis of the work‐related texts and interviews are situated by ethnographic observations.…”

In the name of security: Governmentality apparatus in a multilingual mine in Arctic Finland

This critical sociolinguistic study explores how mining work is governed in the name of security in a mine in Arctic Finland. Although the mining industry is dominated by multinational corporations, mines themselves tend to be concentrated in peripheries where a mobile and multilingual workforce is recruited. Mining is a high‐risk business: industrial accidents and environmental damage can be severe. Discursive practices play a crucial role in risk management. In this study, the nexus of language, security, and production in mining work is analyzed by applying the Foucauldian concept of ‘governmentality’. The data comprise ethnographic observations, work‐related documents, and interviews collected onsite in 2018‐2019. The analysis illustrates how security and production are interwoven in the mine’s safety program that applies the neoliberal logic of responsibilization and disciplinary strategies of surveillance, supervision and regulations. On a broader level, this governmentality apparatus serves the state in securitizing its economy and population.

“…To define the concept further for my analysis, discourses are understood here in the Foucauldian sense as relatively stable and culturally shared ways of constructing meanings of different phenomena in the world from a specific viewpoint (Foucault 1972, 80). Discourses have material conditions and consequences because they have the power to shape and change the ways in which the world is seen (Määttä and Pietikäinen 2014). Accordingly, the discourses on seasonal cleaning work act as the rationale behind the decisions and practices of recruiting and managing the seasonal cleaning workforce.…”
