"Incompetence" is not a deficit but a productive force that generates knowledge, subject positions, social relations, and space. This volume explores effects of such "incompetence" in Japanese language classrooms in the US, language tourism in Italy, and M ori language revitalization in Aotearoa/New Zealand, opening up a new area of study.
