Manifesto: … 1.3. The Need for an Organization (scroll down):

• We cannot stem the global forces which are at the root of language decline and loss.
• But we can work to lessen the ignorance which sees language loss as inevitable when it is not, and does not properly value all that will go when a language itself vanishes.
• We can work to see technological developments, such as computing and telecommunications, used to support small communities and their traditions rather than to supplant them.
• And we can work to lessen the damage: o by recording as much as possible of the languages of communities which seem to be in terminal decline; o by emphasizing particular benefits of the diversity still remaining; and o by promoting literacy and language maintenance programmes, to increase the strength and morale of the users of languages in danger.   Continuer la lecture de « Foundation for Endangered Languages »

The MWC.News Magazine provides news directly from our grassroots sources worldwide, but the accent is –whenever possible– on action that readers can take. And not simply on action that follows traditional paradigms. In that sense, the site should be called, perhaps, Post-Post-ModernWriters … (about 1/2).

About 2/2: … For readers who simply want to have something to talk about over latte, let them go to other sites which specialize in Redundancy and Talktalk. That’s the staple of Current Events as taught in U.S. schools. Our emphasis is on Walktalk, discussion which leads, ideally, to confrontation with The Powers. For that, interaction with our readers will be blessed, if we can derive new models for moving ahead as a result of our ongoing dialogue.  Continuer la lecture de « MWC news – Media with Conscience »

Who we are: We have built these archives from the ground up through the hard work of volunteers around the world. All our volunteers work in more or less complete autonomy, held together by our charter, bylaws, and cooperative work with one another. Volunteers come into the project to do work on what they like — there is no top down or centralized planning structure — so if we don’t have something in these archives, it is because no one has volunteered to contribute it! 🙂 If there is a certain author or work you’re looking for that we do not have, volunteer to put that information that is important to you on the internet so it can be shared with others!   Continuer la lecture de « Marxists Internet Archive MIA »
