Kimball says (after watching HKU performance)
yeah the starting point for the performance... im sure its hard choose one because it changes so much. Using a speech like this that relates to the context at hand gives a bizarre feeling like the divergences that are happening on the level of the performance are also reaching for divergent, subterranean histories that were excluded because they fell outside of the limits of understanding. as if the walls of the hall holding the the performance are being redefined or attacked by nonsense.and then there are so many parameters you could adjust. what are you thinking about the length of the text? im just thinking that probably one sentence could already be a lot, and would emphasise how even within a relatively short string of words there are so so so many gaps. and then you are obsessively returning to this one sentence over and over to find something in it that was missed before but that it just keeps on giving and giving results. bit like a stutter drawing of a boat with a hole in it lol.
One analytic voice that attempts to
theoretically interpret the function of code-switching in bilingual
communities is Christopher Stroud, a linguist who specializes in
polylingual code-switching in oppressed, developing, and
post-colonized countries. He argues that meaning-construction through
code-switching may be a “strategic means whereby speakers position
themselves as agents of [either] resistance or compliance”

Notes from Ventriloquism:
The sight of me speaking underlines the fact of my visual inhabitation of the world.
As I speak, I seem to be situated in front of myself. Leaving myself behind. but if my voice is out in front of ke, this makes me feel that i am somewhere behind it. This can make my voice a persona a mask, or sounding screen…

Abdelkabir Khatibi, Amour bilingue. Literature sauvage.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Amour-bilingue
A wide range of interests is reflected in Khatibi’s sociological studies, including a number of works on Moroccan social life (Bilan de la sociologie au Maroc,
1968;
Études sociologiques sur le Maroc,
1971; and
La Blessure du nom propre,
1974). Khatibi’s early views on the use of French by Maghribian authors reflected the revolutionary tone of the late 1960s: writing was a means of passing beyond the contradictions of Western
culture
by use of “lyrical terror.” The
abstruse
prose employed by the young generation of Maghribian authors reflects the desire to refuse French culture by destroying and recreating the
French language
, thus attacking the heart of the culture from within, with what Khatibi calls a
littérature sauvage.
Understanding diversity.
Understanding is used both as a gerund and as an adjective. When it is employed as an adjective, “understanding diversity” becomes part of the paradigm in which we encounter expressions such as ethnic diversity or cultural diversity. In such cases, “understanding diversity” can be read as equivalend to “diversity of understanding” (yo diria aqui: a diversity that understands) provided that we can make sense of expressions such as ethnicity of understanding and cultures of understanding. And by this I mean two things: understanding global diversality, to which universalism belongs as one particular and diverse cultural entity, and understanding diversity beyond the national/imperial language ideologies.

Male and female Ss listened to their own recorded voices, some of which had been distorted by filtering out selected frequencies. When women listened to their own voices, they experienced a consistent and reliable disruptive and discrepancy effect, as measured by semantic differential responses, regardless of the degree of distortion. Responses for men were unreliable. The results suggest that, at least for women, hearing one's own recorded voice produces a disruptive effect which is referrable not only to the physical differences between the recorded voice and the voice as one speaks, but to psychological, motivational factors as well.
´The larynx contains the highest ratio of nerve to muscle fibers of any organ in the body and is therefore exquisitely responsive to intraorganic changes´´
Dumbstruck - A Cultural History of Ventriloquism (p.8)
When I speak, my voice shows me up as a being with perspective, for whom orientation has significance, who has an unprotected rear, who has two sides. The sight of me speaking underlines the fact of my visual inhabitation of the world. […] As I speak, I seem to be situated in front of myself, leaving myself behind. But if my voice is out in front of me, this makes me feel that I am somewhere behind it. As a kind of projection, the voice allows me to withdraw or retract myself. This can make my voice a persona, a mask, or sounding screen. […] I am able to shelter behind my voice, only if my voice can be me. But it can be me only if is has something of my own ductility and sensitivity: only if it is subject to erosion and to harm. My voice can bray and buffet only because it can also flinch and wince. My voice can be a glove, or a wall, or a bruise, a patch of inflammation, a scar, or a wound.

Tripping with Allah, Michael Muhammad Knight.
The goal is to cherish, maintain, nurture a constant state of migrancy.
What are the advantages of the alien, the stranger, the outsider, the migrant?
How liberating can the state of being uprooted?
To practice this, I center my work in the shared flat where the tongues in my mouth live.
