In the last round of review of my article it was recommended that I’d look into discourse and practice, for example by taking a closer look at the work of Theo van Leeuwen, rather than building my own, I’d say, perhaps, at least seemingly, eclectic mix of a bit of this and a bit of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This bit is from a work in progress (although, isn’t everything work in progress?), from a manuscript that’s in review. For that article I wanted to be very illustrative about landscape and how it works because, for some reason, people don’t often get what the deal with landscape is, despite all the work that’s out […]
Again, it’s a strange thing, how I landed on this, reading what Salvador Dalí has to say on something that bears relevance to what Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari have to say about the abstract machine of faciliaty-landscapity in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’. I was listening to a podcast that I tend to […]
