The Tablets of The Law - Digressions on Language and On the Future

Ilario Sinigaglia

Summary

According to the linguist Chomsky, human language is the result not of a gradual Darwinian-type genetic evolution, but of a rapid conversion of the existing brain to a new use.  I accept this hypothesis of Chomsky's, and suppose that it implied the formation of a linguistic, and therefore digital, brain alongside and in opposition to the preceding analogical brain. This opposition consisted of deflecting and even blocking ancient instincts, and the consequence was that two different strategies now shared the same organism: the ancient instinct and the emerging culture. This required a centre of coordination, which much later would be called the mind. This innovation, the doubling of the brain, was a success, separating humans from the animal world and making them Luciferian creatures.  It was indeed too successful: the Greeks called it "Hybris", which imposes a painful process of rebalancing, as in the tragedies of the Fifth Century BC in Athens.

The #MeToo Effect - What Happens...

Leigh Gilmore

The #MeToo movement inspired millions to testify to the widespread experience of sexual violence. More broadly, it shifted the deeply ingrained response to women's accounts of sexual violence from doubting all of them to believing some of them. What changed? 
 
 
 
Leigh Gilmore provides a new account of #MeToo that reveals how storytelling by survivors propelled the call for sexual justice beyond courts and high-profile cases. At a time when the cultural conversation was fixated on appeals to legal and bureaucratic systems, narrative activism—storytelling in the service of social change—elevated survivors as authorities. Their testimony fused credibility and accountability into the #MeToo effect: uniting millions of separate accounts into an existential demand for justice and the right to be heard. 
 
 
 
Gilmore reframes #MeToo as a breakthrough moment within a longer history of feminist thought and activism. She analyzes autobiographical storytelling in intersectional and antirape activism and traces how literary representations of sexual violence dating from antiquity intertwine with cultural notions of doubt, obligation, and agency. By focusing on the intersectional prehistory of #MeToo, Gilmore sheds light on how survivors have used narrative to frame sexual violence as an urgent problem requiring structural solutions in diverse contexts.
