SILENCE ON THE RANKS AND IN THE LABS!

Despite all that has been said on the positive dimension of silence, meaning outside silence, silence around you, people still consider silence in history, silence in anthropology, and silence in archaeology, as meaning the absence of what we may or might be looking for.

Let me and us be clear: Silence is the absence of any noise to our ears! But that does not mean there is nothing to be found if we should try to look for something. That reminds me of an episode in the Dentistry Ward of Hospital Val de Grâce in Paris, a military hospital. It was in 1968. All dentistry students who had finished their basic years of study opted to serve their military service in a military hospital, which was practice for their future professions.

I was complaining about a toothache. The dentistry graduate who was looking after me made a first X-ray image of the tooth and saw nothing. So, he did what he had been told to do. He adjusted the X-ray apparatus and made a second X-ray picture. On this one, there was a cyst at the tip of the root of the tooth. With these contradictory pictures, he asked his fellow dentist graduate next to him: “Which picture is the proper picture?” His fellow graduate told him: “A picture can always see nothing, but if a picture sees something, it does not hallucinate. So, you should proceed with the cyst.”

Today we know an AI machine can hallucinate. But in July or August 1968, there was no AI machine. X-ray machines did not hallucinate, though they could be blind.

But in our field of cultural and spiritual archaeology, anthropology, and even theology and spirituality, when using AI machines, agentive or not, generative or not, we must keep in mind that “nothing” does not prove there is nothing, and it can hallucinate something where there is nothing at all, and it is better to double up the test, the procedure.

AI applied to the 7,500 languages in the world is on the point of committing a mass murder of languages, a nearly complete genocide of languages. AI means LLM. LLM means 3 trillion data points. Only 6 to 12 languages can have such an LLM. All other 5,488 languages will have to accept being translated into one of the happy few LLMs by a machine trained for its own and only happy language selected by the masters of the world, hence translating the unhappy language into a happy few language is treacherous, distortive, unfair, and the original unhappy language <will end up dead, absent, except if

1- The world decides to compensate for this loss …

2- … Compensate by teaching the languages and cultures concerned to those who are their natural audience, the natives of these languages.

3- Develop libraries for these languages, working on all possible conservational media.

4- AND OF COURSE A BUDGET THAT HAS TO BE PAID BY THE TECHNOLOGY THAT CREATES THE HAZARD;

Have a good read.

To avoid the Butlerian Jihad will be difficult, but we will have to work hard and fast over the less than ten next years. If Europe wants to do something to avoid being colonized by American AI, it will have to take into account the 7,488 languages that are planned to disappear or become silent by American AI corporations and the US government. Working on prompts will not be enough. The Europeans should start working on a Multilingual, Multidialectal Large Language Model to save the 7,488 languages programmed to become silent.

AI and Multilingualism Q4: How Can an Outsider Learn to Read the “Architectural Blueprint” of Surviving Within Silence?

Surviving is a challenge. Survival is not a human right. Dying is definitely a human fate. In other words, we are challenged by this binary choice: human rights versus human fate; survival versus death. And then we are surrounded by graves in what becomes a human cemetery – a pet sematary? And our initial hypothesis being binary, we are trapped with no psychopomp out of it.

But there is a way out of this labyrinth in the form of an absolutely hermetically closed box. The first principle of Buddhism, anicca, everything changes, nothing is forever. Then if everything changes, if nothing is forever, then everything is transient, and everything is emerging from some transient form that existed before the emergence of something new – but is it really new?

New? My foot! Nothing disappears completely into nothing; nothing appears from nothing. Everything transforms, migrates, evolves, in one word changes. The question is then: what is the role of technology, Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models, or even DeepSeek

 深度求索 , etc.?

And here we are anxious, meaning full of anxiety: LLMs homogenize the few languages they concern. All other languages have to be homogenized by translation into one LLM of one of the very few dominant languages: English, French, Spanish at the top. Statistically imperialistic, probabilistically colonialist.

But change is the very core of humanity. Look at what is new in the landscape, and check what was in this landscape before the change, and is still there, but at times the meaning has changed, the paradigmatic network has changed, the syntactic forest has changed. But all the past is still there, in the memory of the words, in the remembrance of the paradigmatic fishing nets, in the recollection of what was – and yet will be – in the future.

Change is time, and with time, change remains the same, even if the dressing or the chutney of every meal may be different. Nothing new under the sun. Only many things from long before but flavored differently. Viva la Muerte. Le Roi est mort ! Vive le Roi ! The Prime Minister resigned! Long live the King, and GMT forever!

AI and Multilingualism Q3: How Mohammad Merajul Islam’s Experience in Bangladesh Shapes the Book’s Perspective

No one can know, or even understand, what life is in the Global South, in this case in Bangladesh in the Indian subcontinent in Asia. The author Md. Merajul Islam is discreet and even humble, keeping at a distance not to appear as speaking of his own situation, but rather of that of a young man from what we would call a poor family in any country in the world. Low education. Packed mud walls of their lodgings with corrugated metal on the roof, at times even only two or three layers of palm leaves, and some rats living in these palm leaves. The huts are detached most of the time or semi-detached. They have no electricity, or they have electricity with numerous cuts, particularly at night. No real scholarships to help the kids through their low education. Hardly any prospect of being admitted to a better school, and no future in universities.

As for work, unemployment is sky-rocketing with a vast proportion of men and women, young or not so young, with no jobs at all and reduced to odd jobs with very long hours, low pay, and no guarantee for tomorrow, or for healthcare. Imagine what it means for someone who develops asthma in such a tropical climate. The odd jobs are manual and have to do with all sorts of masonry, or agriculture if there is any possibility. If you want to grow some rice for your family, you have to work the paddy of someone else. You do all the work, you provide all the equipment, including the seeds and the fertilizer, and yet you have to share the harvest 50-50 with the landowner who provided the land. That is feudalism.

And we will not say more than one short sentence about the third evil in these Global South countries. It holds in one word. Corruption. That means the lower half, if not even the lower two-thirds, of the population can manage to get an Android telephone with limitations on the services. No computer or tablet, no printer, and so much other technical equipment. And yet these young people manage to get some education, even if not as high as possible, and to engage in research on their own means, with a family of their own, a wife and children. They manage to get their Master's around 27. They dream of a future of discovery, creative thinking, and spiritual elevation.

And since they are Muslims, they are the constant victims in the West of segregation, rejection, and despise. That is called islamophobia, the Muslim equivalent of antisemitism for the Jews. And they dream of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham from his wife’s Arab slave, rejected later on by Abraham after he got a son from his wife, and Ishmael and his mother were thrown into the desert to die of thirst and hunger. Ishmael is the founding figure of Islam.

Read Mohammad Merajul Islam’s text and then the book. We sold the first copy yesterday in France.

AI and Multilingualism Q2:

Forced Migration and the Survival of Languages

,The debate on Artificial Intelligence is deepening and becoming global. Can the whole of humanity, every single nation, every single culture, every single language benefit from AI? The answer is somewhere in the confrontation of three zones. The USA and its Silicon Valley corporations have invested and built a full infrastructure for it. They are ready to colonize the world with their English LLM.

China has made AI compulsory in the school system starting at six. They invest a lot in the implementation of their AI, digitally simpler, cheaper in energy consumption, and just as efficient. Yet we do not know how it really works, and how they cope with the multidialectal Chinese, and the multilingual China with Chinese (simplified or traditional), Tibetan, Uyghur and Mongolian, plus smaller isolated languages. The Chinese policy in the field is to encourage the revival of all local, isolated and autonomous cultures and languages. So, how do they do it?

Europe wants to assert itself, but they do not have an alternative. The only possible way to dig some trenches in the US-dominating stance seems to be Advanced Problematization suggested by Edmond Gerard Anna: working on the prompt and elaborating this prompt with primary research before writing it, so that instead of one sentence, you could submit one page’ with contradictory elements and the request to elaborate on differences, and why not choose one or two languages, besides or instead of English.

It is essential to avoid the US colonial approach of AI already implemented and spreading in the world. I can already hear the chant rising from the Global South: Viva La Butlerian Jihad!

Artificial Intelligence and the Multilingual World Q1:

Between Technological Progress and Digital Colonization

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence has transformed the global technological landscape within only a few years. Large Language Models, automated translation systems, predictive algorithms, and generative AI are now becoming central to education, communication, administration, research, and economic production. Yet behind this technological acceleration lies a major question that remains insufficiently explored: can Artificial Intelligence genuinely function in a multilingual world without reinforcing new forms of linguistic domination?

This question becomes particularly urgent for the Global South, where linguistic diversity is not an exception but the normal condition of social life. Thousands of languages continue to exist across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, often within multilingual societies where several languages, dialects, and religious traditions coexist simultaneously. Modern AI systems, however, are largely concentrated on a very small number of dominant languages, supported by massive amounts of digital data. This imbalance raises the possibility that AI may unintentionally create a new form of digital hierarchy with thousands of minority languages reduced to translated extensions of the few dominant ones. The problem is not simply technological. It is also cultural, linguistic, philosophical, and civilizational.

After Jean Coulardeau (1942-2022) and his book, The Computer, The Ultimate Tower of Babel, Éditions La Galipote, 2006, Pope Leo XIV just required the slowing down of Artificial Intelligence to avoid a Tower-of-Babel syndrome, and to remain  human, in his encyclical letter, MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. Yes, indeed, our times are recurrently disquieting.

The triad of circulation/displacement/transfer, voluntary/involuntary/forced. Cohabitation/coexistence/cooperation-or-collaboration against communitarianism and culturalism, thus existential linguistic identity.

The triad market/identity/or-and-multilingual vision confronted with AI, raises deep questions.

Statistical and probabilistic LLMs lead to the homogenization of each language in a pool of up to twelve languages ​​(monolingual LLMs of several trillion data points), producing a common, reduced, nuance-free dialect.

An LLM covers one single language. 7,488 languages ​​rejected by the technology. They must be translated by an AI and integrated into one of the 12 dominant languages, into the LLM of the target language. Differenticide, linguistic culturicide that produces a fantastical hybrid LLM.

ENGLISH – But you are blind, my good man, not to see that this nourishing breast providing gratuitous and prefabricated discourse is Artificial Intelligence, Generative Artificial Intelligence at that, which is nothing more than the invention of some evanescent Silicon Valley. This is first and foremost an office of high-ranking CE, CT, or CF officers who force everyone's language and the thoughts of those left behind into the conforming and homogenizing mold of a well-tempered existence, even if the scale note B is artificial and without any physical justification. Jean-Philippe Rameau tempered it in his time, and the brilliant, slightly hazy disturbance of this key tonal note of the Western scale has become the archetype of what civilization claims to be: the single, unified temperament of all human tastes, feelings, passions, and follies. That's all there is to it. […]

Les autres langues, qui n’ont pas la chance de jouer avec des milliards sinon des trillions de données, devront accepter d’être traduites dans une des langues majeures par des machines d’Intelligence Artificielle formées à la traduction dans une seule des langues dominantes. Garde à vous ! Fixe ! Repos ! Quand on n’a pas la LLM nécessaire, on peut toujours utiliser une alèse jetable que l’on trouve dans toutes les pharmacies linguistiques de la grammaire universelle inventée en anglais par des migrants divers installés aux USA et ne considérant vraiment que l’anglais comme langue première de départ. Merci, Chomsky. Et tous les Martins et les Duponts du monde vont couler toutes les langues dans cette seule matrice.

Joseph H. Greenberg, Brilliant and Bold Binarist

He was a pioneer in his time with his multi-language comparative linguistics that led him to very fundamental assertions, such as all languages originated in Black Africa and from there moved to the whole world, explaining that all Black Africans who never left Africa and had had no procreative contact among their ancestors with people from the other continents do not have any Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA. They never met them.

But at the same time he defended an absolutely binary method to reflect on the universality of language. He reduced it to an “either-or” approach, which is naturally false since languages are fundamentally ternary, and communication too. Walking on two feet is maybe human and good, though it requires quite a good set of muscles to keep the perfect running equilibrium and momentum based on falling from one foot to the next, though each leg has a ternary tempo: raise-land-push.

This silence, this silencing procedure that eradicates, erases what everything present and future is coming, emerging, being born from in the past. The past is the procreating mother or the impregnating father, whose loving contortions of them both will cast into the world their children, offering their genetic and memorial heirlooms to the tempests, storms, and hurricanes of tomorrow.

OPENING INVITATION

What happens to a language when, over centuries or millennia, it evolves brutally or progressively into non-existence or a new language? Is it the fate of all languages that are in contact with one another? Does it create silence for the people who used to speak it? Does this silence have an architecture?

What happens to the culture these people have accumulated in this language? Does it disappear, or does it survive the loss of the language? If it survives, does it prove it is not irrevocably attached to a particular language? Then, where and what is it attached to? If the words are dropped by linguistic evolution, do they plainly disappear, or are they borrowed and invested in the “new” language? Is it what is called etymology?

Take the case of the plow, and the three essential parts of it, the plowshare, the moldboard, and the coulter. The Celts, the Gaulish people in what is today France, were using a tool of the plow type with a metal plowshare. The Romans abandoned it for several centuries. It only reappeared under the guidance of the Benedictines, starting in the 8th century. Why did the Romans abandon the plow made of metal? They just had millions of slaves doing the work with a hoe. Yet the knowledge survived and could be reintroduced several centuries later.  The Roman Empire imposed “silence” on this tool or machine, and the necessary knowledge. Yet it reappeared when the Carolingian Empire imposed 74 days of no work per year to respect the 52 Sundays and three one-week-long religious festivals (Nativity, Passion, and Assumption).

The proper question, to which we do not have a full answer, can involve the brain (a physical organ), the mind (a virtual construct of the central nervous system including the brain and communication that implies language), or some entoptic registering in the very muscular, physiological fiber of the body. We will not get to a final answer, but we will be confronted with the effect of Large Language Models and Artificial Intelligence on the languages of the world and the knowledge they all carry and codify.

TRANSLITERATION INTO BANG-GLISH

I, Merajul, come from a country where the future does not wait for permission. Bangladesh. Rajshahi. A small room. A cracked screen. And a fire that no dataset has ever recorded.

I do not need to look at ancient history to find silenced languages. I can walk two hours from my home. Let me name them for you, reader not as museum pieces, but as wounds that are still bleeding:

Santali. Spoken by millions, but written by whom? Its children learn Bangla in school. Its words do not appear in any large language model. When a Santali grandmother dies, her entire universe of forest and song disappears with her. No AI will mourn. No algorithm will archive her goodbye.

Khasi. A language older than most nations. Its speakers live in the hills, but their voices do not reach the valley of the servers. In 2026, Khasi is being translated without consent, without context, by machines that have never tasted a single Khasi meal.

Marma. The language of the river people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Fewer than 100,000 speakers remain. The young are switching to Bangla because their smartphones do not understand Marma. The machine does not adapt. The human must.

So, let me ask you, directly, not as a scholar, but as a survivor of this silence: If your language survives only in the memory of your grandmother, and no algorithm has been trained to hear it, do you still exist in the eyes of the future?

I have no degree from Oxford. No credit card for PayPal. No citation index. But I have something that no LLM can generate: a refusal to be silent. And I have decided the future will not be translated without me. You want to build a universal translator? Then first, learn to listen to a Santali lullaby. Do you want to save a dying language? Then come to my village and sit on the floor. Not to speak. To hear.

This is not an invitation to read a book. This is a declaration. The architecture of silence is real. But so is the hammer. And I am holding it.

THE AUTHORS

Md. Merajul Islam is an independent researcher and postgraduate student in the Department of Social Work, Rajshahi College, Bangladesh.

His research traverses the boundaries of civilizational transformation, linguistic phylogeny, ancient epistemologies, and the cognitive architectures of suppressed knowledge systems. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jacques Coulardeau (University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), he has co-authored studies on Andean systems of survival (The Incas Beyond Empire and Collapse) and the algorithmic transformation of political structures (The Soviet Trans-substantiation). His independent research includes Collapse: The Universal Laws of Civilizational Suicide, The Idris Enigma, and Invisible Vibrations: The Hidden Technology of Reality Reprogramming Through Sound.

Currently, he is engaged in a long-term investigation into Maya civilization alongside the ongoing research project The Architecture of Silence: Language, Migration, and the Survival of Suppressed Civilizations. His work consistently challenges established historiographies and opens new pathways for understanding the relationship between language, power, and epistemic sovereignty.

INTRODUCTION (excerpt)

Silence is not absence. It is not emptiness, nor is it merely the residue left behind by lost voices. Silence, in the context of human civilization, is often a structure deliberately produced, historically accumulated, and socially maintained. It emerges where languages are displaced, where knowledge systems are marginalized, and where forms of expression are rendered illegible within dominant regimes of power. This work begins from a fundamental refusal to treat silence as a void. Instead, it approaches silence as a patterned condition: one that carries memory, trauma, continuity, and resistance within its very form.

Human history is commonly narrated through the rise and fall of empires, the spread of scripts, and the institutionalization of written knowledge. Yet such narratives frequently obscure a deeper and more enduring reality: the persistence of linguistic and cultural systems that survive without, or despite, formal recognition. Long before writing (as soon as Homo Sapiens started developing the mutations he selected for long-distance, fast, bipedal running for hunting and security, whose collateral side effect was a greater number of vowels and a far greater number of consonants, enabling a real rotation of vowels and consonants in hundreds and later-on thousands of oral clusters), and often beyond it, human societies encoded knowledge in voice, rhythm, bodily practice, spatial organization, and social ritual. These systems did not disappear simply because they were not alphabetized. Many were actively suppressed, re-stratified, or re-classified as “primitive,” “oral,” or “pre-modern.” What followed was not extinction but enforced hushed quietness.

This study situates language not merely as a tool of communication, but as a bio-cultural system shaped by migration, environment, physiology, and collective memory. Language is treated here as an adaptive architecture formed through breath and sound, constrained by anatomy, and refined through social necessity. From the earliest dispersal of Homo Sapiens out of Black Africa, linguistic forms evolved alongside movement, climate, and contact. Phonemes, vowels, and consonants did not arise in abstraction; they emerged from bodies situated in specific ecological conditions. Over time, these sound systems accumulated layers of meaning, much like geological alluvium, carrying forward inherited structures while remaining open to social and biological transformation as well as geographical and articulatory expansion.

Crucially, this work rejects the notion that linguistic inheritance consists of “residue” or degradation. Linguistic alluvium is understood here as a positive and continuous process: an accumulation of structural memory transmitted across generations, including contributions from archaic human populations such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. Language, in this sense, becomes a living archive, one that records not only communication but survival strategies, social organization, and epistemological orientation.

As human groups migrated and settled, languages diversified, stabilized, and sometimes resisted change. Phylogeny, therefore, cannot be reduced to linear evolution or simplistic family trees. Building on Dr. Jacques Coulardeau’s three-tier linguistic phylogeny, this work critically examines how different language systems expanded, stabilized, or hybridized in response to movement, contact, and power. Particular care is taken to distinguish language typology from writing systems, an analytical separation that is often blurred, leading to conceptual confusion and historical misrepresentation.

South Asia occupies a central place in this investigation, not as a peripheral case, but as a region where deep linguistic stratification occurred without complete displacement. Pre-Aryan populations, Austroasiatic speakers, Dravidian groups, and other linguistic communities interacted over millennia (and we must not forget the significant contribution of the Denisovans, who can account for up to 10% of modern DNA in regions like Southeast Asia, thus proving a large integration of these supposedly archaic Hominins who had to have been able to communicate with the various Homo Sapiens), producing layered vernaculars that still bear ancestral structural traces. The guiding question is not simply “where did they come from?” but how linguistic continuity was maintained amid demographic and cultural change.

The Indus civilization is approached not as a paradox of “missing writing”, but as a knowledge system that functioned without dependence on alphabetic or syllabary inscription. Agrarian science, hydraulic management, climate adaptation, and symbolic memory operated through embodied practices and oral epistemologies. What has often been labelled a “scriptless civilization” is reinterpreted here as a civilization whose script was embedded in action, speech, and social repetition rather than carved into durable material alone.

WOOLF & VIOLET – PSYCHOTIC DELIRIUM

A beguiling trio of fantastical and farcical anti-fairy tales about a giantess who builds a magical “cottage of one’s own,” battles a silver-scaled sea monster, and defies governesses and gravity alike In 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet―a teasing tribute to Woolf’s friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces. Published here for the first time in its final form, The Life of Violet blends fantasy, fairy tale, and satire as it transports readers into a magical world where the heroine triumphs over sea-monsters as well as stifling social traditions.

In these irresistible and riotously plotted stories, Violet, who has powers “as marvelous as her height,” gleefully flouts aristocratic proprieties, finds joy in building “a cottage of one’s own,” and travels to Japan to help create a radical new social order. Amid flights of fancy such as a snowfall of sugared almonds and bathtubs made of painted ostrich eggs, The Life of Violet upends the marriage plot, rejects the Victorian belief that women must choose between virtue and ambition, and celebrates women’s friendships and laughter. A major literary discovery that heralds Woolf’s ambitions to revolutionize fiction and sheds new light on her great themes, The Life of Violet is first and foremost a delight to read. This volume features a preface, afterword, notes, and photographs that provide rich historical, literary, and biographical context.

EXQUISITE CARNAL PROMISCUITY

You must admit the world would be simpler if all the people of color were pink or red, Republican or Trumpian. Pink-Red is the Trumpian race today, and it is a race that has the flavor of a caste in a society where all the Dalits are Republicans. Lenin has been retired. Stalin has been recycled. Mao Zedong has been museumized. Even Uncle Ho has been saigonized.

So Harlem does not have to become democratic. It is already as open as a coital or coitic – altogether chaotic – nest. Maybe it is the dream of all those perverts who used special services from the suicided sexual pervert, the master pimp of all the elites of the Western World. But maybe, the people of color could try to go back to their own colors and defend a world of multicolor shades, not only the range of all pinks.

LE PLURILINGUISME, UN ENJEU MAJEUR POUR L’INTERNET ET L’IA

La 7ème édition des Assises européennes du plurilinguisme aura lieu à Paris, les 20, 21 et 22 mai 2026, après plus de vingt ans de la première édition (Paris, octobre 2005).

Dans L’économie du 20e siècle, l’économiste, historien et philosophe français François Perroux déclarait que « nous ne possédons pas une théorie d’ensemble, cohérente et utilisable, de ce que je propose de nommer l’« effet de domination » » (Perroux, 1961 : 27).

Pourquoi parler des rapports de domination alors qu’il s’agit de traiter de la circulation des savoirs, des imaginaires et des compétences en rapport avec la diversité des langues ? Quand il y a circulation, déplacement, transfert, il y a des différences de niveau, ce qui signifie que les savoirs, les imaginaires, les compétences n’émergent pas partout en même temps et de la même façon, ce qui engendre différences, déséquilibres et conflits potentiels.

Ainsi, plutôt que de considérer la domination comme un mal, et de se lancer dans une quête à l’égalité sans issue, mieux vaut la considérer comme un fait qui conditionne toute vie personnelle et sociale et qui trouve sa régulation dans la vie sociale. Dès lors, la circulation des savoirs, des imaginaires et des compétences devient intelligible.

Une autre dimension fondamentale pour comprendre la circulation des savoirs, des imaginaires et des compétences, est la dimension linguistique. Elle est généralement négligée en raison du préjugé monolingue.

LA CHAISE-DIEU RESSUSCITE AIMÉ GIRON

On l’aurait bien cru disparu cet Aimé Giron et ne voilà-t-il pas qu’un jeune éditeur à La Chaise-Dieu le récupère chez Rakuten et nous réoffre sa fantaisie fantaisiste, mais pas si fantastique que ça, sur les amours adolescentes de Jacques de Saint Nectaire. Plutôt pervers, direz-vous ! Oui, mais réalistement pas laïque, ou est-ce catholique qu’il faut dire, du tout et médiéval en sautant d’un pied. Et le tout est amusant car on n’aura jamais le fin mot de l’histoire et le cas est définitivement glacé et clos. Même pour Sherlock Holmes ou je ne sais quel Lupin. Mais ce livre artisanal et fait main est un objet tout à fait respectable à collectionner dans sa bibliothèque.

We would certainly have thought Aimé Giron had disappeared, but lo and behold, a young publisher in La Chaise-Dieu has unearthed him, taken him out of his tomb, at Rakuten, and is offering us his whimsical, though not so fantastical, tale of the adolescent love affairs of Jacques de Saint-Nectaire. Rather perverse, you might say! Yes, but realistically not lay-secular—or should we say crystal-clear Catholic?—at all, and medieval to boot with a skipping rope. And the whole thing is amusing because we never get to the bottom of the story, and the case is definitely frozen and closed. Even for Sherlock Holmes or some other Arsène Lupin. But the crafty, handmade book is quite a respectable object to collect in your library.

SLAVERY AS PURE SNOW-CUM-SUGAR WHITE ENTERTAINMENT

This rewriting of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Percival Everett is fascinating, but probably not for the reasons some people may think of.

The original book was a denunciation of slavery at the very time of Abraham Lincoln’s election and the beginning of the Civil War. It was to be implemented, at its writing time, as a denunciation of the Jim Crow segregation being instated by Congress in the 1870s, and the Supreme Court in the wake of it. “Stop doing that! You fools!” And it was totally useless and inefficient at the time.

So, what does it mean today when rewritten by Percival Everett, not from Huckleberry Finn’s point of view, but from the adult slave Jim’s point of view? It means for today’s public that the whole case of slavery is still not solved, and it has become the new racist and racial discrimination and segregation that still governs the USA.

And this is emphasized by the most cowardly presidents we have had since Obama, meaning all the presidents since Obama. Trump openly encourages all reactionary nationalist and more than conservative,  openly jingoistic forces in the USA, or Biden, who never had the stamina and will to really prevent this evolution by being weak and vain enough not to let the Democrats have a primary election, and thus forcing them into defeat in front of the new American-style apartheid.

True enough, Trump has put some milk in his coffee, and he targets brown people with a lot of Native American blood and African slave blood in their veins, essentially Latin and Mesoamerican immigrants, illegal or not. They are the color of “Café au Lait” from New Orleans Café de Paris, if it still exists, rather than black coffee without milk and without sugar, since sugar is reserved for the elite of this society, and the elite is milk-colored, blond, and with blue eyes.

And like Jim, you can only escape slavery if you kill a few people, if you set aflame a whole farm of corn and whatever else can burn, including a few buildings, and you run like an Olympic champion, and you drop your slave name and reduce yourself to “Just James;’ just your fictitious full first name that no one had ever used, and you probably had not been regularly christened anyway, but that “Just James” instead of “Nigger Jim” makes you escape justice for the “crimes” committed during your escape from slavery. The author does not see that it takes more than just these two words, “Just James,” to retrieve your purity, to get you epiphany, and to conquer your salvation.

James is condemned to never tell his real liberation because even in the North, crimes are crimes, and the vengeance of the whites does not slice up justice in either South or North. Fascinating, I said, mesmerizing, I can also say, but it takes a lot more struggling to get rid of the enslaving racism of the American society, and melting or thawing the present ICE of this society will produce a million times more carbon dioxide than the whole planet produced in 2000 AD.

INTRODUCTION

Jacques COULARDEAU

MÉLANGES sur le thème FAIRE L’AMOUR

Rejuvenation? you said?

On ne peut pas faire l’économie de cette imagination.

Annunzio Coulardeau, aka. HALLAL ou HALLAH, n’hésite jamais à mélanger les genres, littérature réflexive, poésie agonisant la société ou agonisante dans un coin d’une classe d’un lycée pervers, lycée papillon ou collège libellule, les deux pris à jamais dans un cocon hermaphrodite, création ADN-nique garantie, un dragon de plus à notre fronton.

Et partout et toujours des œuvres plastiques, des distorsions barbériques digitales plus ou moins bien digérées par des ordinateurs torturés. Et le tout en langage binaire, 0 français et 1 anglais. Il y a peut-être un troisième langage, mais il n’est plus linguistique, simplement spirituel.

Et cela ne devrait pas vous faire rire, quand un lycée français se réduit à un plafond qu’on scrute, une horloge qu’on minute ; une porte qu’on prend et un truc tout vomi d’un savoir que vous savez mais qu’on vous dit que vous ne savez pas. Qui a raison ? le pauvre trublion dans la classe ou le/la prof/fe qui sait nécessairement mieux que qui que ce soit, qui que ce moi, qui que ce toi, qui se redresse, sans tête, dans le courant d’air de la vie réelle.

Bonne partance et bonne arrivée garanties.

To be read from right to left, except if you believe the ghost is in you, skeleton and all.

Bonjour la compagnie, en Anglais.

Saluton al ĉiuj, en la angla.

We cannot do without this imagination.

Annunzio Coulardeau, aka HALLAL or HALLAH, never hesitates to mix genres: reflective literature, poetry that either agonizes over society or languishes in a corner of a classroom in a perverse high school—a butterfly high school or a dragonfly middle school, both forever trapped in a hermaphroditic cocoon, a guaranteed DNA-tic creation, one more dragon on our pediment.

And everywhere and always, visual artworks, barbaric digital distortions, more or less well digested by tortured computers. And all in binary language: 0 French and 1 English. There might be a third language, but it is no longer linguistic, simply spiritual.

And this shouldn't make you laugh, when a French high school is reduced to a ceiling to be scrutinized, a clock to be ambushed; A door you take and walk through with, and a whole lot of knowledge you know though you are told you don't. Who's right? The poor troublemaker in the class or the teacher who necessarily knows better than anyone, whoever this one seen as me, whoever this one seen as you, who straightens up, headless, in the draft of a damn real life?

A safe departure and a safe arrival guaranteed to all.
