| Description: |
This issue examines so-called 'minority' languages from as many points of view as possible: causes for lament, anger and revolt, but also for celebration - worldwide and perennial. What is the role of language in the struggle for 'self identity'? |
| Synopsis: |
The subject of this issue is so-called 'minority' languages and cultures. It features translated poems, brief essays, anecdotes, photographs, that address that subject from as many points of view as possible: causes for lament, anger and revolt, but also for celebration - worldwide and perennial. And at the heart of the subject lies the struggle for what John Clare called 'self-identity', a chief factor in which is bound to be language, one's own peculiar tongue and the dialect of the tribe. So this issue is another polyphony: of strivings for identity, for self-realization, personal, social and cultural. And always the question: how shall such strivings live together? |
