To anglophone Quebecers, was François Legault an enemy or a friend?
When François Legault’s relatively new political party took power for the first time back in 2018, he wanted to seduce English-speaking Quebecers. But after some legislative efforts during eight years in power left the Coalition Avenir Québec government at odds with anglophone interests, his legacy with the English-speaking community is a difficult one, to say the least.

What work does silence perform in culture and society? 🔍🔇

Across literature, media, and political discourse, silence emerges as both a mechanism of oppression and a resource for resistance, introspection, and expression. Its ambivalence invites new critical and #interdisciplinary approaches.

The next conference, “Hush! Practising Silence in Literature and Culture” will be held at FRIAS 15–17 April 2026. Scholars are invited to explore various forms and affordances of silence in #Anglophone literatures and media, addressing the intentions, drawbacks, and potentialities, implicated in instances and mediations of silence.

By integrating “silent discussions” and other reflective formats, participants will also engage with silence as a method of academic discourse.

An interesting (though not very surprising IMO) read about #Anglophone #Linguistics and English bias: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17447143.2015.1102921

> Asking a linguist how many languages they speak is like asking a doctor how many diseases they have.

Chomsky managed to avoid learning “the ebola of linguistics” after all.

Hype for the Future 87L: The Province of Ontario Compared to Ohio

Preamble Though the State of Ohio is located in the United States 🇺🇸 and the Province of Ontario is included within Canada 🇨🇦, both subnational divisions are of significant importance in either nation. Culturally, Ohio and Ontario in particular may effectively have the greatest similarities in any comparison of the United States and Canada, even though the State of Ohio also extends further south as part of the United States. Culture Both the Ohio Country and Upper Canada were […]

#PaulStPierrePlamondon has insulted the very people who gave Quebec its culture: the #artists

“This is why ethno-nationalists like #PSPP and #FrançoisLegault view #MarcMiller as a threat — a multilingual #Quebec #Anglophone #Francophile tasked with empowering #Quebec and #Canadian #culture essentially undermines everything the #PQ and #CAQ currently stand for.”

As an #Anglophone #Canadian, I'm finding being part of the #Anglosphere to be increasingly embarassing.

Analytic Philosophy Is a Dead End for the Left

Analytic philosophy has become the dominant school in anglophone philosophy departments since 1945. Christoph Schuringa persuasively argues that it has served to reinforce a liberal common sense that blocks the idea of radical change.

Question for my #bicultural friends (and especially the #anglophone ones living in DACH): do you sometimes feel you don’t really belong in either of your cultural “hemispheres”? I’ve had that feeling a lot recently. (Exacerbated, maybe, by being in a monocultural German cocoon the last few weeks.)
