Franca D'agostini

90s Eurodance meets Techno-Beats & Popschlager: Seit 30 Jahren im Rampenlicht, repräsentiert Franca Morgano (»Omen III«) den aktuellen musikalischen Zeitgeist wie keine andere. Diesen Sommer setzt die Italienerin mit der riesengroßen Stimme ein massives Zeichen mit ihrem neuen Soloalbum »Wir sind noch immer da«, das im Oktober 2024 über Telamo erscheint.

This book examines how trauma is experienced and narrated differently across languages and cultures, drawing on rich ethnographic case studies and a novel cognitive-linguistic approach to analyse the variations of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) used in the narratives of West-African migrants and refugees in the course of intercultural encounters with Italian experts in from domain-specific fields of discourse (including legal, medical, religious and cultural professionals). It examines the ways in which such experts interpret the migrants’ trauma narratives by applying discourse conventions from within their communities of practice, as well as their own native linguacultural norms.
