Abstract

The revered, prolific Professor presents his book - only in Italian for the moment - on Language. Its title is Linguaggi Senza Senso (Languages without meaning) - without sense, for Deleuze – clinica tranculturale (trancultural therapy).

In the chapters of the book (Lallation, Erolalia, Coprolalia, Echolalia, (Jargon), Glossolalia (Xenolalia), Language of Slavery ("Stomadoulon"/ "Slave mouth"), he talks about the primitive (primary?) human languages as they emerge and are shaped by the culture, mores, places, circumstances, religions, opinions and relationships of people. At the end, he gives examples of applying these ideas in his clinical practice.
