How to rethink ourselves inside and outside the technological black box: Our Least Common Multiple

Marc Veyrat, Société i Matériel, T i-LÉGAL—62, 2022.

Although universal, sardines are still excellent at many levels (taste, nutrition, etc.), it is a heroic figure; strategic and perhaps even an example to follow. Not only it is considered a poor people's dish in the Mediterranean region, but beyond this notion of random wealth and fame, it can also represent a common, symbolic, and structural current. It is an absolute metaphor for the digital world. Which can be understood as a living body, a priori identical, moving in a network and communicating mobilis in mobile, immersed in the network device of information and communication technologies. Indeed, the sardine would be the image of what we can understand, experience, and go through with our own adventures, in this digital odyssey that has only just begun at the start of the 21st century (GAFAM, AI, XR and space computing). For this little fish seems to decompartmentalize genres through its vulnerable nature... seemingly condemned to the simple fate of being easy prey with no other purpose than to serve as food. Yet, vigorous, multiple, and gathered in shoals, the sardine makes light of predators and dangers through movement and fluidity. Then, when cooked and canned, sardines play with borders and cross cultures, constantly questioning the notion of the mold. Like us, in this confinement produced by technology and the media around information. Just as people, knowledge, science, art, images and words do every day.

This call for papers, geared towards new mathematical, sociological, aesthetic and even economic proposals, or even questions of use... of a Smallest Common Multiple (SCM) to be shared, from a cultural and scientific point of view, on what surrounds us, brings us together and distinguishes us (in the same box or in another one ultimately resembling it), on what makes resistance for each of us while creating ethical, critical, universal and singular hyphens between / in the arts and human sciences. 

So how can we use this call for papers to develop interdisciplinary proposals aimed at decompartmentalizing each field of research in the digital age? Indeed, what is the breathing (recording) eSPACE that separates the sardine from its can? Or, more simply, how do digital technologies produce systems of enclosure and control around us, and how can we respond to them? Isn't there a dimension of relative openness between the inside and the outside of these systems, subject to a semantic shift between container and content? What is at stake in our societies between what is still the body, the living being, and what already boils down to machines and technologies? Or how in our cultures and societies, like that poor little sardine or that tiny, fragile-looking self, in a mobile way in the mobile element, do we manage - sometimes in the sea of devices or the ocean of data - to escape predators by a pirouette, a common, unprecedented, almost chaotic movement that brings us together without making us disappear, that welds individual interest to a shared flow... with the Other...?

For this new issue of The Journal of Studies in Language, Culture, and Society (JSLCS), we are therefore asking exclusively for interdisciplinary articles, i.e. deliberately written "with four hands" and thus participating in this desire for decompartmentalization... in the knowledge that in certain disciplines such as Art Sciences, sound, theater, architecture, dance, visual arts ... are already grouped together in a merry mishmash ...

To this end, this call for papers aims to develop the following themes:

— Forms and representations, symbolism of interdisciplinary strategies of resistance to / with / in digital technology and its derivative tools: poetics of programming, socio-artistic data visualization, eco-numerical design ...

— Transdisciplinary tools designed to question, learn and understand these intrusive technologies: mathematics and art, computer science and semiotics, robotics and architecture, education and innovation...

— New hypermedia languages for dissemination in Research - Creation: strategies and workarounds with AI, Bio Art, AR / VR / XR immersive devices and Metaverse ...

— Using visual methods to study digital practices: bodies and machines, sociology and networks, life and AI, ethics, and transhumanism ...

— Gender and digital identity: new forms of resistance and new representation devices, body extensions and body modifications ...

Of course, this list is not exhaustive.

PHONOLOGICAL PROBLEMS CONFRONTING STUDENTS OF YORUBA ORIGIN IN THE STUDY OF FRENCH LANGUAGE:A CASE STUDY OF FRENCH NASAL SOUND /ɲ/

Ajani Akinwumi Lateef, 
2023-12-31

Résumé: The issue of language inconsistent is one of the major linguistic problems confronting Nigerian Yoruba learners of French language. This study looked into the phonological problem confronting yoruba learners of French language in the area of oral production of French consonant nasal sound /ɲ/. In order to have a deep knowledge of the problem, data were collected from Nigerian Yoruba French learners in four Higher institution all located in the South West of Nigeria involving forty five students (45), thirty (30) females and fifteen (15) males. Haven presented the problem, some didactic recommendations were put forward so as to move the teaching and learning of French language forward in Nigeria, most especially in the yoruba speaking areas.

A Linguistic-Stylistic Analysis of AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq’s Inaugural Speech (2019)

Zakari Hadiza,  Akinmusuyi Samuel, 
2024-04-07

Résumé: Political speeches are frequently loaded with meanings; people tend to misconstrue as well as give false interpretation to what is said and how it is said. This research aims at examining the linguistic-stylistic elements used in Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq’s inaugural speech with a view to identifying how these elements achieve communicative effects to the audience. Governor AbdulRahman’s inaugural speech serves as the data for this study, and the speech was delivered at his swearing-in ceremony as the 20th governor of Kwara State on 29th May, 2019. Halliday and Matthiessen’s (2014) Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) serves as the theoretical framework. The analysis of this text is carried out along the linguistic levels of analysis, which are syntactic, lexico-semantic and cohesive levels. The study reveals that the governor’s speech is made up of 43 sentences; 21 sentences (48.8%) are simple sentences; 5 sentences (11.6%) are compound sentences; 9 sentences (20.9%) are complex sentences; while 8 (18.6%) are compound-complex sentences. The dominant use of simple sentences in the speech aligns with the simple and determining attitude of politicians in getting what they want. The analysis also reveals that the imposition of synonyms and antonyms in the speech helped in enhancing the cohesive quality of the text. Hence, it is concluded that the language of the governor exhibits some unique language features with the intent of exerting great influence on the masses, and grasping power and consolidating it.

English Segmental Pedagogy, Homophonic Realisation and Communicative Competence in L2

Julianah Ajoke Akindele,  Victor Ayomide Fabunmi, 
2023-12-29

Résumé: The study investigates and compares the performance of two groups of final year English major undergraduates of a Nigerian University in the production and perception of homophones. One group consisting of twenty students were taught the English sound segments with the use of an e-learning software while the second group of twenty students were taught the segmentals without the use of the software. Each of the participants read aloud a sentences containing homophones and also participated in a dictation test. The collected data was analysed perceptively and acoustically using the sound analytical tool, PRAAT developed by Paul Boersma and David Weenick of the University of Amsterdam. Results reveal that students in the first group who were taught with the e-learning software performed better than those in the second group in the production, reception and understanding of homophones. Findings confirm that the use of e-learning software in language pedagogy will play a significant role for improved performance and greater communicative competence in Nigeria. Keywords: Communicative competence, E-Learning, Homophonic realisation, Pedagogy, performance

THE VOICE OF THE HABITATION IN PÈRE LABAT’S VOYAGE AUX ÎLES FRANÇAISES DE L’AMÉRIQUE

Candau Olivier-serge, 
2024-03-31

Résumé: Composed between 1716 and 1722, Père Jean-Baptiste Labat’s Nouveau Voyage aux îles françaises de l’Amérique orchestrates a chronicle dedicated to the life of the habitation in the Antilles at the dawn of the century. Behind the voice of the slaves, depicted as characters lacking in any psychological depth, and the picaresque voice of a chronicler involved in numerous adventures, another voice can be heard: this is the voice of a habitation society, as it establishes itself as an autonomous economic and social unit. It is this curious polyphony, in which the voices of the slaves, the master and the habitation are intermingled, that this article proposes to consider. While Père Labat normally turns a deaf ear to the slaves’ speech, every now and then he lends a more attentive ear to his slaves and hints at an unexpected additional voice, that of a new society.

Mots clés: Chronicle, ethos, habitation, Jean-Baptiste Labat, slaves’ speech.
