I thought I’d do something short(er) this time, but, as you’ll quickly notice, that didn’t happen. I had gone through this text before and thought I’d be able to make a quick summary of it, highlighting what I like about it, while also providing some related commentary. I honestly didn’t realize how good this text […]
I was going to write about the current situation and how media plays a role in it, or, should I say its role in it, but I haven’t really finished that, so it’ll just have to wait. It’s something that I managed to forget, that I had written about it, and the recent events made […]
A previous essay of mine focused on the art of conversation, as discussed by Gilles Deleuze in part I of ‘A Conversation: What is it? What is it For?’, as included ‘Dialogues’. This time I’ll be looking at part II of the same text. It’s attributed to Claire Parnet. Whether this is actually the case […]
I’ll keep discussing the quantification of all things social in this essay. I’ll also stay on the same book as in my last three essays, covering parts of the recently published ‘Reterritorializing Linguistic Landscapes: Questioning Boundaries and Opening Spaces’. This time I’m focusing on a book chapter titled ‘The Quality of Quantity’ by Kate Lyons. […]
Included in the same 2020 book edited by David Malinowski and Stefania Tufi, ‘Reterritorializing Linguistic Landscapes: Questioning Boundaries and Opening Spaces’, William Amos and Barbara Soukup address categorization of data in quantitative linguistic landscape studies in their book chapter ‘Quantitative 2.0: Toward Variationist Linguistic Landscape Study (VaLLS) and a Standard Canon of LL Variables’. This […]
In my previous essay, I covered the introduction of recently published ‘Reterritorializing Linguistic Landscapes: Questioning Boundaries and Opening Spaces’ edited by David Malinowski and Stefania Tufi. In summary, I both agreed and disagreed with their statements. I was happy to see the work Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari being discussed in the introduction, but I […]
I was looking forward to ‘Reterritorializing Linguistic Landscapes: Questioning Boundaries and Opening Spaces’ edited by David Malinowski and Stefania Tufi, to check if there’s some interesting book chapters. Anyway, I can’t recall exactly when that was, but I noticed that the book was slated to come out in early 2020. So it’s early 2020 now […]
I’m not exactly sure how I landed on this, again, but, be that as it may, this time I’ll be looking at a short text (some 35 pages) by Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet, ‘A Conversation: What is it? What is it For?’, included in ‘Dialogues’, co-written by the two, in two parts, I and […]
I’ll be short this time and I’ll do more of a companion piece to a book review that is (there is still time) or was (?) slated to come out by the end of the year. I wrote it during the summer when I was given this opportunity. Back then, I had a brief look […]
What have I been up to? Well, there’s was that bad faith review, that I’ll comment briefly, because there was an update to that, sort of, me reworking that manuscript (because I don’t waste time, unlike many other people), and bunch of reading. I’ve been enjoying Félix Guattari’s ‘The Machinic Unconscious: Essays in Schizoanalysis’ in […]
