Who’s Afraid of Cultural Studies? Linguistics with a Twist | Altre Modernità
This contribution examines the conceptualisation of language as a signifying practice by tracing the ways in which Cultural Studies have been productively mobilised within the domain of English linguistics. Focusing on the development of a distinctive Neapolitan tradition, the article reconstructs how Cultural Studies provided theoretical and methodological resources for challenging formalist and structuralist approaches to language, enabling a reconceptualisation of linguistics as a discipline deeply embedded in social, cultural, and political processes.
