I wish to understand how the formal and informal texts that are visible in the street (the linguistic landscape, or LL) are revelatory of subjective experience, local and non-local discourses, as also broader social processes. This is to say that studying the production, reception and placement of these texts is a way of exploring not only power and access as these apply in the space of the street, but also migration, education and literacy, cultural belonging and empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>William Kelleher<\/strong> is a teacher on long leave from the Acad\u00e9mie d\u2019Aix-Marseille, France, and currently working as an English teacher in a community school in east Johannesburg.
