A Sensory Experiment into Languages as (R)evolutionHow are we informed and transformed by tuning into our relationships to land, emotions, relations, and bodies within our academic pathways into languages? In this paper, we tell a story of our journey, as scholars, into how languages relate to land, historicity, bodies, and the ecosophical concept of ubuntu. Our discussion brings in the temporal and spatial multidisciplinary lineage of languages, as an open space to re-envision, re-experience, and re-engage with our academic writing in new and ancient ways. We use multimodal layers of language ontology—from ecological, physical, historical, and intercultural perspectives—as a decolonizing, pedagogical process of (re)covering humanness. We use the particular example of academic writing and reading as a sensory experience to dive into languages as ontological ways of becoming human. And because we are academics (or failed magicians) we try to provide insights into theoretical and practical ways to transform this conversation into pedagogy.

Semantics of the Sea2019 •
The stories of Noah, Gilgamesh and Atlantis are internationally known, telling of lands submerged beneath the sea. Similar stories exist for the European seaboard, from Brittany through southern England, Wales, Ireland and parts of Scotland. Today we know that many areas now lost beneath the sea were dry land in the not so distant past; consequently, papers purporting to link the geological events associated with flooding these lands and such stories have been written. However, these papers have been written from the perspective of the scientist, with little regard for the perspective of the story or from that of the story-teller. In this article we attempt to redress this inferred normativity by drawing attention to the problematic nature of such an endeavour, developing a discussion about how else one might approach this balance from that opened by fields as diverse as folklore, ethnography and archaeo-astronomy.

What is the reality of human language? How does it relate to the essential being of man and the realization of his multifarious capabilities and potentials in the various domains of life and existence in this world? These are certain issues whose investigation has become more than ever relevant in our contemporary contexts. This paper is an attempt to search and shed light on some aspects of this matter, which I believe should be taken up in a much more comprehensive manner by more competent and knowledgeable persons. Prior to developing an Islamic discourse on the nature and reality of language, I think it would be worthwhile to dwell a bit upon the role and significance accorded to language in our contemporary world. Fundamental limitation of the western methodology in linguistics Contemporary debates on language revolve around many crucial issues even including the question on whether there exists anything called a language at all. This question has arisen in the scientific study of language called linguistics due to an important historical reason related to the emergence of modern science. The western scientific tradition has first experienced the separation of empirical science from philosophy and the consequent subjugation of philosophy to a role of interpreting the findings of the scientific 'discoveries'. This handicapped science, which feigned supremacy as man's highest and most trustworthy intellectual pursuit, with its strictly materialistic and empiricist methodology and goals accorded matter or physicality the absolute referential status of reality. The biological, chemical and other types of properties derived 'scientific' legitimacy from the 'fundamental' reality of matter. It is as if reality springs out from physical matter. The various dimensions of reality emerge out from the various levels of organization of matter. Thus even mind and language is described "the necessary result of a particular organization of matter". Thus the history of scientific progress and the concomitant proliferation into the multifarious disciplines and specialisations has totally imbibed to this spirit of the shadow of physical reality reflected in many other derivative dimensions. Thus the tradition of modern science instituted for a minor aspect of reality, i.e. matter, fundamental and foundational relevance and turned the process of intellectual enquiry upside down, that is, rather than from the source of divine guidance through derivative ideas into the minor details of existence including matter, to that from matter to other dimensions. Over riding this spirit of the upside down science is the Cartesian phantom of separation of mind and matter.
