In the Midst of … Words Inside-Out: Pandemic Rhetorics

Marianne Constable University of California, Berkeley

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn the midst of the 2020 pandemic produced by an invisible virus, words bring the world near. Words come in from a threatening outside, even as their use turns those who are inside outward. Speech practices reconfigure work and non-work, while politics, like language, turns inside-out.
