Jacques Prévert "Chasse à l'enfant" (Poème qui a notamment inspiré le livre de Chalandon, "L'Enragé")

La Chasse à l’enfant
Bandit ! Voyou ! Voleur ! Chenapan !
Au-dessus de l'île
On voit des oiseaux
Tout autour de l'île
Il y a de l'eau
Bandit ! Voyou ! Voleur ! Chenapan !
Qu'est-ce que c'est que ces hurlements
Bandit ! Voyou ! Voyou ! Chenapan !
C'est la meute des honnêtes gens
Qui fait la chasse à l'enfant
Il avait dit "J'en ai assez de la maison de redressement"
Et les gardiens, à coup de clefs, lui avaient brisé les dents
Et puis, ils l'avaient laissé étendu sur le ciment

New article out on the Cantophone 1840s–1920s for the language history crowd! (on the to-read pile) muse.jhu.edu/article/1000...

Language as Movement:
A Short History of the Cantophone, 1840s-1920s
Pang Laikwan - (bio)
ABSTRACT
This article explores how Cantonese speakers in the late Qing and early Republican periods traveled and connected with the world. It is a social and cultural study of the journeys and transformation of Cantonese, both as a people and as a language, in a new geopolitical and technological environment consisting of Western imperialism, Chinese nationalism, and individuals' enterprising efforts. I study how Cantonese reached Shanghai and Guangxi within China to interact with the languages and people in those places, and I also explore how it crossed the South Sea to British Malaya and the Pacific to Hawaii and the United States. I then follow the trajectories of study abroad students in Japan to witness how Cantonese left China and came back and in what ways the language participated in some of the most important political events of the time. This historical account offers an alternative view to understanding the life of a language, which in turn can help us understand the complex dynamics of language, power, and identity.
KEYWORDS
Cantonese, Hong Kong, identity politics, language, migration, revolution

Ugh, I forgot alt-text because I'm tired - here it is!

Introduction

In a WeChat group, someone posts an image—
从微信群看见一个网友发来的

A pyramid of social hierarchy
社会等级金字塔结构图

Flipping my phone upside down
我把手机倒过来

The pyramid turns into a nail
金字塔变成一枚钉子

Imagining the few elites at the apex,
Rooting into the ground,
想象塔尖的极少数深入底层

Providing a vast platform on which ordinary people might stand
提供一个
广阔的平台的给普通百姓

Yet the intelligent autorotation of the phone
可手机的智能感应

Swiftly reoriented the pyramid to its original form.
又迅速把金字塔结构图调整了过来

This, 1000x over. Writing in a second language is hard, we get it. Even in your first, I still have to google how many "p" are in "attraper" sometimes (one, it's one). But a PhD is about finding your own original voice as a researcher, so LLM-written emails make us doubt you'll ever do that.

Im so exhausted by this pattern. Historians spend years in the archives to write detailed accounts of the past. Only for journalists, doctors, podcasters, and now cartoonists, to swoop in and get paid a lot of money to trot out the same work, "uncovering hidden histories" that are not at all hidden.

The interesting question is not who uses Zotero or does not use Zotero. The interesting question is which academics enjoy working conditions that allow them to make scholarship central to their professional lives, and which academics have to do scholarship <in spite> of their working conditions.
