Interactive conference – "To speak, to language, to act"

Language, language, phrase, word, syllable, sound. At what moment in this construction do relations of domination and power take shape? Does it take a whole language to exercise power over others, or is a phrase enough? And when the language is stolen or forbidden, at what point in memory can the language resurface and resist erasure? And middle dots, asterisks, deliberately invented formulations to speak of a world that exists but was denied until very recently, what does this tell us about the long path between spoken words, observed world and written words? Words that liberate and oppress, words that welcome and drive away, forgotten words and words yet to be invented. The nation-state that secures itself by imposing a language; the monolingual nation-state that is destined to collapse under the genius of creolization. The creative power of hidden, pampered, cut-off, vowel-less languages, accepted only through the pen of poets; but if every construction is inevitably an act of poiesis, then long live the poetry of tkt, bcp, mdr, tbh, idk, and tvb (ti voglio bene), as we learned to write to each other via text message in the early 2000s.
