Proper drama. Foyle's War, S1E3, A Lesson in Murder. At the very end, ca 1:34.

They are Italians who have lived in England for many years. Yesterday Italy declared war. The mob burned down their restaurant in the night: these people are enemies now. Tony's father died in the fire.

Tony, the immigrant who had just signed up to join the British army to fight Hitler, and who had asked Samantha whether she would write to him, sits at the bench below the town's war memorial, the burned-down house behind him. He gets up to speak to Foyle.

Tony Luciano: "What sort of world is this, Mr Foyle?"

[Foyle's face shows pain, he remains speechless but he nods.]

Tony walks away.

Samantha Stewart calls after him, "Tony ...", but he does not look back.

Samantha Stewart to Foyle: "I don't know what to say."

Foyle (barely audible), his face still distorted in pain: "Neither do I."

The #new #speechlessness - #media #communication

Abstract: #FYI (for your information)

The acronym "FYI" in the title is representative of a number of linguistic changes that I have come across in the course of my recent "field studies" on #media #theory. One result of the previous trilogy on "media theory" may well be the discovery of a "new speechlessness" in the form of #acronyms and #emojis, for example.

One result of the previous trilogy on "media theory" may well be the discovery of a "new speechlessness" in the form of acronyms and emojis, for example.

The initial thesis of the "new speechlessness" occurs, in my opinion, especially with regard to the new forms of communication within the "IVL" (in virtual life) of digital media, such as messenger services, but also in social interactions "IRL" (in real life) in the deprivative "F2F" (face-to-face) forms of communication and this is not only due to the *C* topic, but was already "virulent" before.

#speechlessness

Why is it when someone says he is speechless, it is immediately almost always followed by speech?
