Vagabond Voices In Praise of the Garrulous

Join author Allan Cameron for a discussion of the ideas in his acclaimed book; an intelligent, passionate and discursive meditation on the changing ecology of language.

In Praise of the Garrulous is a hugely ambitious work, examining the history of language and how it has been affected by technology, primarily writing and printing. This leads to important questions concerning the ecology of language, and how any degradation it suffers might affect “not only our competence in organising ourselves socially and politically, but also our inner selves”.
