Indispensable for Our Understanding and Action Now
Please read it. An explanation for how we communicate and how to cultivate language creation from below. It was first published in 1927 but not translated out of Russian until the mid 80's I believe. Its author, Volosinov, disappeared in the Stalinist purges of the 1930's. Please look at where its insights have been - or are trying to be - applied now. It makes sense of what is happening to us and offers us essential tools for us to communicate and act effectively to end the exploitation and oppression that surrounds us now.
