Translanguaging in asemic writing: a metric space approach

~ federico federici ~ Leave a comment

The talk will explore the interconnectedness between language, mathematics, and physics, drawing parallels between concepts such as metric spaces in mathematics and the fabric of spacetime in physics, as well as their analogies in linguistic structures. It will address how languages are viewed as relational schemes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationships between symbols rather than their individual content. The discussion of topics such as code-switching and translanguaging, respectively in the field of [visual] multi-language poetry and asemic writing, aims to highlight how these practices may challenge conventional notions of linguistic boundaries and signification, ultimately influencing the perception of the world through the synthesis of competing linguistic structures.

Kanika studied biology many years ago as an undergraduate at MIT, and she has been thinking and writing about Okazaki fragments and various other cellular molecules and processes ever since.

Trees work in the woods like words do in the poetical text. Exploring a book like this goes beyond the pure reader’s control and turns into a practice whose results are unpredictable. – Tim Wallington.
