Cinematic Anthropography. Towards a Sociolinguistic Policy

In the wake of “critical sociolinguistics,” reflecting on the position of the researcher and of research into political issues continues to shape new linguistic approaches. The agenda of a sociolinguistic policy is above all part of an anthropographic approach to linguistic practices, consisting of an anthropological method and sociological questions. It goes on to engage in all stages of research, from the creation of aims, to scientific interpretation, through to the co-construction of knowledge. Cinematographic activity, through its immediacy and the sociopolitical opening it provides thanks to its diffusion, is proposed here as an example of another way of doing sociolinguistics.
