>Language >Place Blog Carnival: #4 online & invite #5



edition 4
The idea of the language/place carnival is to create collaborate cyber journeys that features international perspectives on language and place. The latest edition is now online: language / place blog carnival #4. It includes 25 contributors, and is hosted by London-based author Jean Morris at tasting rhubarb. Feature theme of this edition is: "another place, another language, another self":

"The contributions to this fourth edition of the blog carnival trace a meandering, creative, self-reflective path through the vicissitudes of place and language. Some point in particular to an expansion of or challenge to identity: "another language, another place, another self". If the section headers are like street signs, these are streets that intersect and double back."
- Jean Morris
