"I cannot come home again.
I have changed too much. It is my mind that has changed.
I can never come home again"
-From "I Heard the Owl Call my Name" by Margaret Craven
"When the others thought you should be initiated I opposed the idea. I had a good reason: you can bring words out of your mind and put them in paper for all to read. [...] it was because I wanted you to live. I never thought you would make it
-Dagara elder, from "Of Waters and Spirits" by Malidoma Patrice Somé
"Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells. Those who think and those who create with words are the guardians of this home"
'Letter on Humanism'. Martin Heidegger
the most profound and mutilating crime of colonialism is the imposition of a dominant language:
the departure from a mother tong is a definitive form of exile, a journey of no return for the soul
the digital interface, our new universally dominant language has come to seclude our imaginations, cultures and beings, webbing new enclosures for our e-merging beings; its architectures conjure e-merging forms of social control- new manifestations of the colonial spell
These portals open journeys of investigations about this dominant language: its nature and role in shaping our existences and its transformative poetic and social potentials
