Episode 72 Apocalypse fantasies
Manage episode 321131626 series 1105768
Have you ever entertained an apocalypse fantasy? The one I invented relieves humanity of its language.
Language produces selves, which is not a bad thing. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s the window to intimacy.
But what happens when the amount of language we use increases to the extent that we’ve seen in recent years?
The production of selves increases to potentially catastrophic proportions.
Here’s the link to Dr Debbie Reese’s excellent critique of Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins: https://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2016/06/a-critical-look-at-odells-island-of.html
The book that inspired my fascination with mycelium is Paul Stamets’s Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Save the World.
The stories I discuss in this episode, ‘Finite’ and ‘A remarkable outcome’, are both available on my Grammar for Dreamers blog: grammarfordreamers.wordpress.com
