What work does silence perform in culture and society? 🔍🔇
Across literature, media, and political discourse, silence emerges as both a mechanism of oppression and a resource for resistance, introspection, and expression. Its ambivalence invites new critical and #interdisciplinary approaches.
The next conference, “Hush! Practising Silence in Literature and Culture” will be held at FRIAS 15–17 April 2026. Scholars are invited to explore various forms and affordances of silence in #Anglophone literatures and media, addressing the intentions, drawbacks, and potentialities, implicated in instances and mediations of silence.
By integrating “silent discussions” and other reflective formats, participants will also engage with silence as a method of academic discourse.

An interesting (though not very surprising IMO) read about #Anglophone #Linguistics and English bias: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17447143.2015.1102921
> Asking a linguist how many languages they speak is like asking a doctor how many diseases they have.
Chomsky managed to avoid learning “the ebola of linguistics” after all.

Hype for the Future 87L: The Province of Ontario Compared to Ohio
Preamble Though the State of Ohio is located in the United States 🇺🇸 and the Province of Ontario is included within Canada 🇨🇦, both subnational divisions are of significant importance in either nation. Culturally, Ohio and Ontario in particular may effectively have the greatest similarities in any comparison of the United States and Canada, even though the State of Ohio also extends further south as part of the United States. Culture Both the Ohio Country and Upper Canada were […] -

Je viens de voir ce post sur Reddit et pour vrai, je vois de plus en plus d’amour dirigé vers le Québec depuis le ROC ces jours-ci et ça me fait chaud au cœur. Question de voir du positif dans un monde viré à l’envers.

The perils of being a #French speaking province in a bilingual country. #Canada #Québec
In 2020 the Bloc Québécois was suggesting we replace #BonjourHi with “Bonjour Ho”. In 2024, here we are still arguing about how businesses should greet customers. The #MTL mayor is suggesting that we stop at Bonjour. Professors are saying this is a tempest in a teapot. Montrealers are divided. #language #francophone #anglophone #English

Michel C. Augé - La communauté anglophone comme accessoire politique
Que ce soit par inadvertance ou pas, le gouvernement de la CAQ donne encore une fois l’impression qu’il ne se soucie pas beaucoup de la communauté anglophone, sauf lorsque cela lui permet de marquer des points politiques.

Long shot but let's try for international reach (RTs welcome)
A friend is writing an English language #guidebook to #Geneva, #Switzerland. I imagine that #anglophone #expats may not think to visit local - #francophone - bookshops.

"In the background to all this are rapid changes in #media consumption, with Silicon Valley slowly executing a strategy of cultural imperialism over the rest of the #Anglophone world (we share not only a #language, but the #platforms too)."

1/2 Reading this very interesting paper on #TrainingData sizes for #machinelearning applications like #LLM and #ComputerVision. Speaks to so many things that have been on my mind about the quality, size, curation and modeling of data. But one preliminary thought that jumps out is how this insistence on massive amounts of training data essentially focuses on the #Anglophone and perhaps #Western world, or how it perpetuates differences of #class and access in other places.

I'm all about promotion of bilingualism in Canada. I'm not bilingual. The recent Census showed there was a decline in French within Canada. So is Bill C-13 amending the Official Languages Act meant to equal the playing field, especially for business, or is this a political ploy to save Liberal votes in Québec?

Can anyone point me to a write-up, #guidelines, #BestPractices etc. for dealing with the infrastructural importance of #hashtags on #mastodon? How do we avoid another #convergence on the #Anglophone #hegemony and #ASCII in #multilingual and #multiscriptoral communities? This is particularly important if #mastodon is to become a viable forum for #critical, #global #DigitalHumanities / #HumanidadesDigitales / #HumanitésNumériques / #الانسانيات_الرقمية.

@syndikalista keen to hear more about this. Any good links? It's fascinating to think about this stuff from the perspective of living in China, rather than seeing the PRC through the lens of #Anglophone, #EuroZone, #RT propaganda.
