CW: May (or may not) contain offensive language
But George stood, dropping his paper. White leaves opened and fell, one on the couch, several on the floor. "You the one they call the Kid. Yeah?"

After my last two reads of him, this magnum opus has been eagerly anticipated (even though word on the street is that it might take me a few months)! A transgressive hallucinatory riddle? I'm there for it!

Ce lundi, je voulais photographier les eaux boueuses du Vidourle. Finalement, le ciel sortira grand vainqueur de cette image.
Les journées raccourcissent et je dois désormais enfiler un gilet fluo pour sécuriser mon trajet à vélo du matin. La lumière matinale sied toujours bien au Vidourle.
Petite boucle d’une douzaine de kilomètres dans le massif de Coutach ce mercredi matin, sous un […]

Frisch rezensiert:
#Babel17 von #SamuelRDelany ist ein wilder Trip durch die Galaxie, der sich intensiv mit Sprache und ihrer Wirkung auf Wahrnehmung und Weltbilder beschäftigt. Entsprechend ist diese Space Opera sehr dialoglastig und man folgt den Gesprächen gerne, die manchmal schlicht unterhaltsam sind, oft aber zum Nachdenken anregen und ein Stück weit die eigene Weltsicht verändern.

"Und jetzt habe ich Dinge zu sagen, die ganz allein von mir stammen. Nicht Dinge, die andere Leute schon mal gesagt haben und die ich nur in origineller Weise zum Ausdruck bringe. Und es sind auch keine gepfefferten Entgegnungen auf Dinge, die andere Leute schon mal gesagt haben, was aufs Gleiche rauskommt. Es sind neue Gedanken, und ich habe eine Heidenangst."
Aus #Babel17 von #SamuelRDelany

Finally, Nat continues:
Also, he argued against historian C.B. Macpherson, that John Locke could not have been basing his writing on capitalism but it had not yet codified into an available language. (But would soon do so.) I studied with Pocock but disagreed with him about Macpherson.
Anyway, you can see how that fits into "Babel 17." BTW, In those days no one would bring up SF in a grad class.

His argument for a linguistic empiricism contradicted political theorist Leo Strauss's combination of ahistoricism & conspiracy theory that, sadly, most of the current Supreme Court justices pretend to base their decisions on.

In the 1970s & 1980s the historian J.G.A. Pocock introduced a concept he called "available languges," based on such ideas as Wittgenstein's "family resemblance," J.L. Austin's "speech acts, & Thomas Kuhn's "paradigms." The idea was that at any given moment folks could only make political arguments given the concepts/languages available to them.
