From rival lingua francas such as English to socio-politically marginalised languages such as Arabic or Kurdish, multilingual characters in these films exploit their knowledge of multiple languages and offer counter-perspectives to dominant ideologies of the role of linguistic diversity in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecentring France\u003c\/em\u003e is the first substantial study of multilingual film in France.
