Description

Exploring the concept of chronotope in the context of migration, this book delves into the complex identities and imaginations of migrants from Iran and Uzbekistan living in the United States. Through ethnographic research, the authors shed light on the institutional constraints and individual subjectivities involved in transnational mobility.

The notion of cultural chronotope is applied to the study of language and migration at multiple scale levels, providing a nuanced understanding of how chronotopes organize various aspects of migrant life. This critical contribution to the conversation surrounding the sociocultural-linguistic uses of the chronotope offers insights into the ways in which chronotopes shape social life.

By examining the intersection of language, migration, and social imagination, this book provides a valuable framework for understanding the complexities of transnational mobility. It is an important contribution to the study of language and migration, offering new perspectives on the role of culture in shaping individual and collective experiences.
