thanks, papa mike, for re-minding a more fruitful (full of queer) way to
move in words here -
i have already sent a ridiculous missive,
wish i had held my forked tongue a bit - but by the same token,
there is a gap between the political and the chat that invariably surfaces
-
how to act in ways that can acknowledge the interactions of these?
i see it, personally, enacted in the very academic way of working,
that there is a kind of accountability lacking (how redundant am i!) - am
reminded of the
ways postcolonial critic gayatri spivak writes of the violence of the
dialectic,
and how that is irrepressibly recreated here when different languages slip
into these streams -
practice, for here, is languaging - wording worlds - or, often, wording
academe from language-specific
sites -
how to become more multilingual?
hm.
thanks for hitting the pause button anyhow.
