Abstract:

This volume presents a ground-breaking collection of essays inspired by thework of linguist, anthropologist and poet Paul Friedrich. The core of thiscollection is the dramatic and creative connection between language andculture: linguaculture. Each essay relates language at its most technicalto culture in its most intangible forms.

The work represented here is based upon long-term immersion in multipledimensions of culture, from the hallowed interiors of intellectual life toeveryday encounters and observations. Balance between these twoperspectives - objective and analytical systematicity on the one hand andhuman affect and individuality on the other - unify these works. Anotherspecific bond is a hallmark of Paul Friedrich's method: a faithfullymicroscopic eye for detail combined with a panoramic vision of the culturalcontext as a whole. In keeping with Paul Friedrich's intellectual legacy,this collection is not grounded in, nor contained by, any single academicdiscipline. It is, rather, informed by a sensibility to the complex andmultilayered interplay of the domains of human thought, perception andactivity that we conventionally label "language" and "culture." Among thecontributors to this volume are specialists in comparative literature,Slavic studies and Classics; poets, translators, literary critics, aprofessional singer and an avant-garde painter.
