In Defence of PrimatePoetics. PrimatePoetics is Here, the publication that primes the field, has now been republished!
"Once our language is passed on to apes it ceases to be our language and becomes something brand new as the ape will reinvent it in its own image. In the circus and in the laboratory humans learn to recognize ape calls and use them to communicate with the ape who strangely enough seems to understand what is being said. To PrimatePoetics this transfer of language between species is however only the canary in the proverbial coal mine, a symptom of the most radical event in literature since Tsang-Kie's invention of written Chinese 4000 year ago." http://socialfiction.org/index.php?n=1461 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
