XPUB1
Special Issue #16: Vernacular language processing
Research
What is vernacular language? Before, now, tomorrow. When was the first time anyone came with the concept of vernacular? How can it be processed? What interventions can be done and why?
In the world of abstract, whilst trying to orientate myself, I am looking for familiar things and starting points. A little side-gig exploration on my own is available here.
Reading list
- Orientation in a Big World: On the Necessity of Horizonless Perspectives (Patricia Reed)
- Queer Phenomenology - Orientations Objects Others (Sara Ahmed)
- Whistleblowing from Below: Finnish Rural Inhabitants’ Letters to the Imperial Power at the Turn of the Twentieth Century (Sami Suodenjoki)
Prototyping
Embracing on a journey to play with programming and create stuff whilst doing that.
Scattered Thoughts
XPUB is a completely new universe to me, therefore some new thoughts, ideas might come. Will try to keep a record of them, so later I can reflect on or develop them.
