Thank you! Now the real work begins!
Itโs official as of today! This October we are starting Gender and Sexuality MA at the University of Warsaw! The first MA like that in Polish in Poland! Spread the word! And letโs cooperate!
On Monday!
Speaking English was a political choice, of a self-reliant politician, in this situation that also linguistically was quite impossible to negociate .8/8
Should have President Zelensky been speaking through a translator in his native tongue? Impossible. Why? Because his native tongue is Russian. Ukrainian is his third lqnguage, which only illustrates the imperial history of this region. 7/x
So what about Friday and EFL? President Zelensky was speaking in a foreign language, in a highly charged situation โa situation that the current US president canโt imagine, not knowing any foreign language. 6/x
And yes, we know nothing about language strategies applied by ๐ต๐ฑ president this week, because as a prelude to Fridayโs performance toward Eastern Europe, Andrzej Duda was not even in the White House and there was no presser together. 5/x
But Macron, as a power move, was also speaking ๐ซ๐ทand using a translator, giving a clear sign that heโs engaging on his own terms. Which allowed him to interject in English about the European involvenent in Ukraine in a different register, in a less official manner. 4/x
There is also a hierarchy of accents, hierarchy of languages and their โbeautyโ. Macron this week elicited comments from the president when he was speaking French. 3/x
The current president has a history of โnot understandingโ EFL accents. It happened 3 weeks ago with an Afgan reporter, which went viral, happened on Friday again with an East European journalist. Both were women, too, btw. 2/x
Coming at the ๐บ๐ฆWhite House โspatโ as a literature and languages scholar: the position of English as a foreign language becomes key. Native speakers vs. EFL speakers, clear hierarchies and possible strategies. A small ๐งตfrom an Eastern European non-native speaker of English
London folks! Iโll be speaking about #SovietBorn ๐ทon March 10, 6pm! At Senat House, University of London coorganized with @wienerlibrary.bsky.social Hope to see you there!
