Although language policy formally remains a nation state domain, in the process of
glocalisation other actors gain in importance. Local authorities – closer to the daily
life of the citizens than the central state authorities – are only beginning to realise
their role in the field of language policy. Confronted with the multilingual realities
of everyday urban life, language policies in cities cannot ignore the challenges of the
heterophonia and heteroglossia of urban societies. This chapter focuses on a local
institution that follows a policy of linguistic diversity. The analysis of the language
regime negotiated between the institution (the main public library in Vienna) and the
users draws on topological approaches developed within the ‘spatial turn’ in cultural
studies and on recent explorations in linguistics concerned with the relation between
space, place and linguistic practice.
