Linguistic Turns, 1890-1950

Writing on Language as Social Theory

By: Ken Hirschkop

Linguistic Turns rewrites the intellectual and cultural history of early twentieth-century Europe. In chapters that study the work of Saussure, Russell, Wittgenstein, Bakhtin, Benjamin, Cassirer, Shklovskii, the Russian Futurists, Ogden and Richards, Sorel, Gramsci, and others, it shows how European intellectuals came to invest 'language' with extraordinary force, at a time when the social and political order of the continent was itself in question. By examining linguistic turns in concert rather than in isolation, the volume changes the way we see them—no longer simply as moves in individual disciplines, but as elements of a larger constellation, held together by common concerns and anxieties. In a series of detailed readings, the volume reveals how each linguistic turn invested 'language as such' with powers that could redeem not just individual disciplines but Europe itself. It shows how, in the hands of different writers, language becomes a model of social and political order, a tool guaranteeing analytical precision, a vehicle of dynamic change, a storehouse of mythical collective energy, a template for civil society, and an image of justice itself. By detailing the force linguistic turns attribute to language, and the way in which they contrast 'language as such' with actual language, the volume dissects the investments made in words and sentences and the visions behind them. The constellation of linguistic turns is explored as an intellectual event in its own right and as the pursuit of social theory by other means.

Way Beyond Wine

The Williamson Wines Story ; from Values to Action!

By: Ken Majer

The wine business is highly capital intensive, involves long term strategic planning, requires significant technical skills, painstaking quality control and a huge amount of collaboration and motivation and then you can still fail. This is enough to make sensible people run from it, but some of the world's best wines come from small family vineyards and wineries where they combine all these attributes and keep the whole thing running because they love the lifestyle with a passion not found in the corporate world. This is the story of how Dawn and Bill Williamson turned their dream of a wine country lifestyle into a passionate reality but more than that it is an insight into the decision process they used to achieve their goals.
