The two listed organisers are from the ca domain. Forth Wort, although I
do not know the exact figures, will have a substantial Spanish-speaking
population. yet message and proposed session are definitively
Anglo-linguistic.
If post-structuralist thought is an exclusively
English-language thought, then geographers, at least, should be able to
question why this pattern occurs. Anyone who looks at literature,
conferences, or other activities linked to post-structuralism, can see a
clear dominance of English, of ex-British colonies, and of US allies.
Might this mean something?
