image of languaging

The chapter explicates the author's use of language/languaging in the f/old due to its unique style of delivery that is largely improvised, non-scripted and co-created. Rather than a set of instructions, the authors attend to how our words are heard (received). The juxtaposition of words-to-silences is a sonorous drone that ruptures logical sequencing. This kind of orality skews expectations and preconceptions of what to do (now, or next). As word(s) ‘land’ (register) in the sensorium, the tether around their prosaic meaning eases. A single word can becomes an agent of change, taking on poetic power. Throughout, the authors choose ‘languaging’ rather than language - a a term of art that captures the affective attunement that can be buried in the prosaic.

Keywords: ambiguity ; anemic(asemia) ; association ; code ; emergent ; improvisation ; in-between ; language ; lexicon ; neologism ; oculocentric ; palimpsest ; phenomenally ; relationship ; sensibility ; signpost ; spoken moment ; term of art ; tether ; unconscious ; writing
