Description / Abstract
If 20th century thought has taught us anything, it has taught us that language matters. One merely has to respond to the colloquial inquiry, “How’s it going?” with “Groovy, man, groovy” and watch the response. Language creates, even as it refers. Language places us within a web of meaning that locates us within a particular people, at a particular time. Language opens the world to us according to the truthfulness of the language that has formed us. To hear the phrase, “Workers of the world, unite” reminds us that language places us within a particular tradition, presupposing an underlying narrative that both creates a polity even as that polity sustains the narrative through practices inherent within the narrative itself. Shifts of language may indicate underlying shifts of socio-historical significance. Linguistic shifts may exhibit developments within a tradition as it attempts to resolve problems from within or engage new situations from without the tradition. Even more deeply, linguistic shifts may witness – and conceal -- profound ruptures that obscure deep political and ontological commitments. The full consequences of these shifts may not emerge for years or even centuries. Ontological assumptions and implications may remain buried invisibly within and continue to work long after the shift has occurred. Words carry bodies into a play of forces that create those bodies in their interaction with other bodies as they are formed to the reality that the language reveals.
