Description
Literary Nonfiction. Essays. In ELECTRIC SARCASM, language is linked to money and debt in a seemingly perpetual state of negotiations. Language is being colonized as much as it colonizes the subject. How negotiations are being carried? What the bearers of meaning do not say? What kinds of language negotiations can generate? Dimitra Ioannou explores language as a response to hegemonic things, and a need to articulate and concretize suppressed meanings.
