Dear Colleagues,
This week I am sending to you a new post we are publishing by Kenneth Goldsmith: Provisional Language, on the effects of globalization in language:
"Because words today are cheap and infinitely produced, they are detritus, signifying little, meaning less." In Uncreative Writing. Managing Language in the Digital Age, UbuWeb founder Kenneth Goldsmith argues that globalisation and digitalisation turns all language into provisional language. The volume of text available and the ease with which it can be modified or manipulated poses a new challenge for writers today, making it necessary to rethink traditional notions of "originality", "writing", and "authorship". Courtesy of Caja Negra Editora, publishers of the Spanish version of the book, we present an excerpt in which Goldsmith riffs on the concept of provisional language.
