Language Wars
Ever since the Biblical myth of the Tower of Babel, analysts have identified language difference as a potent cause of division and conflict. We might question Solorzano y Pereyra's view in Politica Indiana (1648) that "the diversity of languages is the greatest cause of religious warfare, national discords, and civil seditions," 1 but it is often difficult to identify a more fundamental and ubiquitous cause. Where empires once extirpated a people…

Money, Language, and Thought: Literary and Philosophic Economies From the Medieval to the Modern Era
In Money, Language, and Thought, Marc Shell explores the interactions between linguistic and economic production as they inform discourse from Chretien de Troyes to Heidegger. Close readings of works such as the medieval grail legends, The Merchant of Venice, Goethe's Faust, and Poe's "The Gold Bug" reveal how discourse has responded to the dissociation of symbol from thing characteristic of money, and how the development of increasingly symbolic…
