Fog Friend Font: Ways of Doing Multilingual Sense is the
editorial framework for a unique set of discursively related publications.
It comprises seven titles, conceptualised, developed, and designed in
collaboration with commissioned authors. Among them:
Ear, Mind, Eye,
Pad;
Music as Seismographic Sound: Tracking Down the Idea of
Cultural Translation;
Who Invented One and Zero? A Communal
History of Mathematics;
A Written Orality: The Canadian Inuit
and Their Language; as well as
Tulugaq & Further Songs.
Each title sheds light on different vital practices and the transformative
developments occurring in the realm of writing and speaking today as
triggered by digital communication. These shifts are part of a cultural
process, which is being shaped by structural multilingualism, a
transformation impacting many parts of the globe.
Fog Friend Font:
Ways of Doing Multilingual Sense can be thought of as a
constellation of voices that paint a semiotic landscape while shaping the
notion of
language as the
“place” of
globalisation.
