A pleasant book Gianrico Carofiglio: Tampering with the words, led me to some thoughts which I participate in any of the web disappeared.
Mine was as follows:
E 'possible to decode the language expressed by the power, the will to establish a totalitarian regime, plutocratic or personalist? In short, contrary to democracy?
Inspired by the book, which in turn cites several linguists, the most natural inference is that the advent of a scheme the government of a country is first announced by the impoverishment of vocabulary. Or the use of very few words that give life to concepts mostly trivial and easily digestible clichés (especially if repeated) by the recipients.
Sometimes this impoverished vocabulary is doomed even from the authoritarian power as "more democratic", as understood by all, compared to a complex and varied vocabulary.
The scheme issuer of the lexicon poor creeps in fact the idea that the lexicon is organized mainly used by ancient people or mediocre highbrow not have the courage to define things or events with appropriate words, direct and necessary raw. The famous motto: " fogies policy" repeatedly cited by the Advocate of the premier, Ghedini, when he found it impossible to respond to political discourse articulated, is exemplary.
Now is exactly the opposite.
The vastness of terms used appropriately in the narrative or description of events, increase and deepen their ability to recognize and understand these events.
The language that generally leads to poor in cliche or sentimentality does not narrate or describe any that only offers the opportunity to be easily digested concealing the most dangerous trap: the ' abstention from criticism and reflection.
Exactly how much more desirable anti-democratic regime could wish for.
Today we also believe that thanks to the countless means of disseminating news, mass communications, is impossible in a modern western country like ours, the unsaturation of a totalitarian fascist regime.
I also believe this is a cliche by now assimilated " which helped to inhibit the critical sense and the perception of the obvious facts that are upsetting the rules of democracy and overthrowing those ethics.
While admitting a complex variety of means of delivery is not taken into account because of the enormous fragmentation of information that often creates confusion. The means by which information is conveyed in the most ethereal are paperless. Again we absorb information alle quali non è possibile, o perlomeno molto difficile opporre confutazioni critiche e ragionate.
