Changing Theory


Book Description

This book is an original, systematic, and radical attempt at decolonizing critical theory. Drawing on linguistic concepts from 16 languages from Asia, Africa, the Arab world, and South America, the essays in the volume explore the entailments of words while discussing their conceptual implications for the humanities and the social sciences everywhere. The essays engage in the work of thinking through words to generate a conceptual vocabulary that will allow for a global conversation on social theory which will be necessarily multilingual. With essays by scholars, across generations, and from a variety of disciplines – history, anthropology, and philosophy to literature and political theory – this book will be essential reading for scholars, researchers, and students of critical theory and the social sciences.

From Zero to Hero


Book Description

The title of this book, 'From Zero to Hero' is interesting from two points of view: a) many students, proficient speakers of English, begin their higher education studies with no knowledge of phonetics and phonology, but by going through this subject have every chance of becoming 'heroes', to teach others, in turn, its secrets; b) the material included in the book covers almost all the basic notions of this branches of linguistics, considered by Stephen Ullmann (1957) the foundation stone of a any language. What seemed to me the greatest gain of the book are the exercises presented at the end of each chapter, and the tests at the end of the book. Through their variety, they encourage students to verify and consolidate the theoretical notions acquired. Elena Buja
