This text brings together sociological, anthropological and social policy perspectives on the life course with a view to developing the conceptual rigour of the term as well as to exploring the rich range of debates and issues it encompasses. Linking traditional sociological and anthropological concerns with more recent postmodern debates centred on the self, identity and time, the book integrates theoretical debates about childhood, youth, middle age and later life with empirical material in an illuminating and innovative way.

The book analyses contemporary transnational migration through a group of mainland Chinese female expatriates in Britain. The author adopts a multi-sited approach by following individual migrants and moving between different fieldwork sites. Contextualised in the light of both British and Chinese economic, political, and socio-cultural perspectives, the findings reflect the active role that China's massive economic rise has played in promoting Sino-British bilateral cooperation, as well as its influence on the lives of these Chinese female migrants in Britain. In brief, transmigration strategies have become indispensable for their economic integration into the British middle-class.

The aim of this thesis is to encourage the multidimensional approach in the study of social identities. Identisation is presented as an amalgamation of factors, forces and interests that should not be analysed in isolation or reduced to a mono-causal approach. These theoretical claims are based on an in-depth and long term empirical exploration of the processes of identisation in the specific institutional context of Tatar and non-Tatar gymnásias (secondary schools) in the Republic of Tatarstan, part of the Russian Federation. Data generation consisted of semi-structured and unstructured interviewing and long- term participant observation in Kazan (the capital of Tatarstan). Analysis of the data shows that a complex dialectic emerges between political discourse, institutional praxis and quotidian representations, a dialectic and interrelation that often has been ignored in the study of identities. In Tatarstan it is a dialectic between processes of Russification, Sovietisation and Tatarisation which show the need to devote special attention to the historical background in order to be able to analyse the current dynamics and representations.

Das Buch "Learner Narratives of Translingual Identities" bietet eine tiefgehende Analyse der translingualen Identitäten von fortgeschrittenen Englischlerner*innen in Japan, die in mehrsprachigen Umfeldern aufgewachsen sind. Durch eine innovative multimodale Analyse werden die Sprachlerngeschichten dieser Lernenden untersucht, wobei sowohl ihre translingualen Erfahrungen als auch die Art und Weise, wie sie Sprache und Gesten nutzen, um ihre Erlebnisse zu beschreiben, im Fokus stehen. Der Autor, Patrick Kiernan, betrachtet die Identitäten, die die Interviewten für sich selbst konstruieren, ihre zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation und die Rahmenbedingungen, die ihre Erfahrungen prägen. Das Buch bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die gemeinsamen Werte der Lernenden und die Schlüsselfaktoren für ihren Erfolg im Sprachenlernen. Es richtet sich an Forschende der angewandten Linguistik und Bildungsforschung sowie an Sprachpädagog*innen und Entscheidungsträger*innen, die ein besseres Verständnis für die Perspektiven der Lernenden im Sprachunterricht gewinnen möchten.
