‘Puan Laisen’, the distinctive mark of the Mizo people. Being one, I’m a bit partial as to how much I love the colors and the combo.
/ Yeah, very similar to the colors of Iraqi flag 🇮🇶 . The colors of the ‘Young Mizo Association‘ flag (an NGO) are also similar. Didn’t like it very much when I first realized it (in the sense, that it’s not so unique…haha).
A #Texas writing guru reflects on his mentor, Larry McMurtry, with the help of other Lone Star authors influenced by the Lonesome Dove creator in this new collection of essays.
Thank you, Ahram Online: #Art & #Culture, #Egypt’s leading English language newspaper, for this belated #birthday gift & honorable mention in your pages of my new #book, Quarantine Notes:
"We model the impact of the number of native speakers, the proportion of nonnative speakers, the number of linguistic neighbors, and the status of a language on grammatical complexity while controlling for spatial and phylogenetic autocorrelation."
"U.S. Culture and Multiculturalism": A longtime professor in Japan looks back at the U.S. in terms of culture. See this self-explanatory slideshow for Thai and Japanese university participants on what culture is, world cultures and values, and comparative culture. For example, you can see intercultural communication research findings on where the U.S., Japan, and Thailand stand on the cultural dimension of individualism vs. collectivism. The presentation aims for objectivity, so you can draw your own conclusions: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/374143089_US_Culture_and_Multiculturalism
In The Origins of White, Christian Supremacy, author Robert P. Jones locates the roots of modern bigotry in the 1400s, taking the #history of hate even further back than the 1619 Project.
I feel privileged to be invited back on ABC #Radio National/ #Religion & #Ethics to celebrate 💯 year anniversary of Khalil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’ — a #book I encountered as a young teenager & which shaped the person/ #writer I am, today.

When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; #culture-death is a clear possibility.
Après avoir vu le congrès de Milan 1880, massacre complet de l'oeuvre des Sourds et de l'abbée de l'épée. Nous rebombinons vers 1815, un peu avant. Pour resituer le contexte :
L'abbée de l'épée décède en 1789. Le nouveau directeur de l'école des Sourds en france est l'Abbée Sicard depuis 1790 :
Et dans cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi la langue des signes américaines est proche de la langue des signes française. Après, sans aucune source, ni étude, je pense que la langue des signes américaine va devenir très différente au fil des générations. Elle n'est pas internationale et s'imprègne de la culture de chaque régions.
Aux états-unis, avant la naissance de l'ASL, la langue des signes était utilisé dans plusieures communautés. Extrait de wikipédia :
Prior to the birth of ASL, sign language had been used by various communities in the United States. In the United States, as elsewhere in the world, hearing families with deaf children have historically employed ad hoc home sign, which often reaches much higher levels of sophistication than gestures used by hearing people in spoken conversation. As early as 1541 at first contact by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, there were reports that the Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains widely spoke a sign language to communicate across vast national and linguistic lines.
La suite, c'est l'oeuvre de Laurent Clerc et Thomas Gallaudet, en America Sign Language (soustitrée). Une belle histoire magique :D https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=aJ9fgKkqT-g
Ce site regroupe toute les informations. Principalement les affiches, quant à la programmation, il faudra fouiller un peu et ouvrir des liens.
Voilà ! J'espère que ça vous plaira et vous donnera un peu plus envie de plonger dans la culture sourde. :bulb_grin:
RDV Mercredi pour la suite de la frise chronologique. Après l'Edit de Milan de 1880, on va rebombiner et découvrir l'histoire de l'université Gallaudet.
Et vous allez comprendre pourquoi la langue des signes américaine est similaire à la langue des signes française. Oui, je viens de vous donner le spoil. :)

Edited by Ian Brown and Clarisse Godard Desmarest
These fourteen essays explore literary manifestations of Scottishness, and examine the political, religious and cultural complexities that have shaped Scottish writing and performance through the centuries.
In my August Director's Letter for the Communication Research Center at #bostonuniversity, I draw upon the expertise of one of our newest scholars, Dr. AnneMarie McClain to discuss the influence of and representations in the new #Barbie movie.
“When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, #poetry cleanses.”
