Podcasts about speech acts

In 15th and 16th century Scotland, in the highest courts of the land, you'd find esteemed poets hurling insults at each other. This was flyting, a sort of medieval equivalent of battle rap, and it was so popular at the time that the King himself wrote instructions for how to do it well. Writer and Scots language campaigner Ishbel McFarlane and historical linguist Joanna Kopaczyk explain the art of flyting, where an insult becomes slander, what's going on within the speech act of performative diss-trading, and what the legal consequences could be of being accused of witchcraft. Find out more about the episode and read the transcript at theallusionist.org/flyting.  Content note: this episode contains brief references to historical capital and corporal punishments, and discussion of insults and slurs; there is also a derogatory term for sex workers, and category A and B swears.

As we journey through Virgo season and prepare to enter Libra season this September, we find ourselves in a space of discernment and refinement. The universe invites us to listen for the calls that echo through our lives this month, so we can learn to respond with clarity, purpose, and virtue. Before diving into the month's major astrology transits, we begin with a deep dive of the Virgo zodiac sign and archetype. We discover why Virgo wants us to master the art of separation and purification. Drawing inspiration from the myth of Echo and Narcissus, we examine what happens when calls go unanswered or are met with misunderstanding, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and self-refinement before engaging with the world. Through this lens, we explore Virgo's role as the cosmic mediator between the self-focused energy of Leo and the relational focus of Libra. Understanding Virgo is a crucial step in our personal and spiritual evolution.Each celestial event this months presents a unique "calling" — a cosmic invitation we're meant to "respond" to with discernment, adaptability, and insight. Important questions, or callings, are being asked of you: What can you purify in your life? How can you prepare yourself to respond to the calls that matter most? And how do you know the difference between the noise of the world and the true calling of your soul?Themes and transits discussed in this episode include:The symbolism of "call and response" as an overall theme for the monthVirgo's crucial role as the sign between Leo and LibraVirgo as the Maiden and the BirdThe myth of Echo & NarcissusThe New Moon in Virgo (Sept. 2)The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (Sept. 17)Mars enters Cancer (Sept. 4)Mercury enters Virgo (Sept. 8)Sun enters Libra - Fall Equinox (Sept. 22)Venus enters Scorpio (Sept. 22)Mercury enters Libra (Sept. 26)Uranus turns Retrograde and Pluto Retrograde re-enters Capricorn (Sept. 1)Mercury follows the Sun's footsteps all month longMercury Cazimi in Libra (Sept. 30)Extra Days of Caution (Sept. 15 and 22)Extra Days of Opportunity (Sept. 3, 11, 14, and 29)******************Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Article: The Myth of Echo & Narcissus Article: Speech Acts******************Podcast & Host Links:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

Who was resurrected by Paul? Who was he saying goodbye to and why?

This week, join Cyrus Palizban, Zohar Atkins, Genevieve Kim, and Nicolas Sarian as they explore a profound, if esoteric, quote by Abraham Abulafia. We delve into the concept of 'filth' as a fundamental aspect of human life, tying it with existential pain, and deeply examining the role of 'blood', in both the physical and mystical sense. Our discussion extends to the constant struggle between physical and spiritual aspects of our nature. The conversation takes a turn to the interplay of language and mysticism, drawing on concepts from Judaism, ancient Vedas, and modern AI. We scrutinize the complex power of words in shaping reality, further branching into debates about the performativity and constantive functions of language. Join us for a discussion on the richness of theology, the fascinating potentials of ancient languages, and the mysterious interweaving of divine elements within our mundane existence.   00:00 Introduction to the Lightning Podcast 00:25 Unveiling Today's Quote 01:31 Interpreting the Quote: Death and Filth 02:26 Exploring the Concept of Filth and Strength 04:04 The Journey of Enlightenment: Filth to Blood 04:23 The Torah and the Human Condition 05:22 Alchemy and the Journey from Filth 06:47 Abraham Abulafia and the Study of Kabbalah 07:31 Alchemy, Kabbalah, and the Search for Gold 08:19 The Lowest is the Highest: A Teaching in Jewish Mysticism 11:08 The Hermetic Tradition: As Above, So Below 11:50 The Sanctity of the Body and the Journey of Life 14:19 Transcending Our Animal Nature: A Discussion 19:07 The Ancient Vedic Religion and the Idea of Bipedal Beings 24:37 The Creation of the Back and the Encounter 25:18 The Art Card in Tarot and the Concept of Temperance 26:46 Decoding the Red and White: Blood and Water 27:01 Exploring the Zohar and Hebrew Letters 27:31 The Significance of Samekh in Hebrew 28:31 Hebrew Language and Mysticism 28:43 The Power of Hebrew Letters in Creation 30:06 Understanding Gematria: The Mystical Synonyms 30:52 The Skepticism and Interpretation of Gematria 34:25 The Role of Samekh in Hebrew and Mysticism 38:02 Language as a Tool for Creation 45:44 The Power of Speech Acts in Judaism 49:52 The Sacredness of Tetragrammaton in Hebrew 51:19 Language: A Tool for Totalitarian Discourses? 52:27 Wrapping Up: From Filth to the Heart of Heaven   Want to continue the discussion?

Today we are examining speech acts and uptake. A central contribution from J. L. Austin has been the idea that our speech sometimes doesn't only say things – sometimes it does things. When we speak, we don't only convey content or information. We sometimes also - for instance - promise, name, refuse, or order: in short, our speech sometimes acts.And that has prompted a great deal of philosophical debate over when speech acts are successfully performed, and whether that depends on the effects on the audience. This might sound like an esoteric matter, but philosophers think that thinking about how – and when- speech does things has implications for what we should think of pornography, and for when people really consent to sex. Our guest today is Dr Sarah Fisher, a Research Fellow here in the department of political science on a cross-disciplinary project on the ethics of content moderation on social media and the future of free speech online, funded by UKRI.  Mentioned in this episode:Sarah A.

He's been accused of rejecting the Law, disparaging the Temple, and blaspheming Moses—and God. Now is his chance to defend himself, but Stephen doesn't. Instead, he goes on offense, telling the story of Israel to show how those in charge keep missing God's work in the world. What does that have to do with us? Join us for “The Speech” from Acts 7:1-53 and find out!

Rev. Scott Wright Note: Due to technical difficulties, the audio starting at the 7:47 mark was lost and resumes at a later point in the sermon. In addition, the audio for this sermon ends early. When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

After the arrival of the Holy Spirit, Peter starts to explain what Jesus has done to the people gathered to see the Holy Spirit. Peter is excited to tell them that Jesus fulfilled prophecies (over 300), He defeated death, and He gives life. As believers, we should be excited about what Jesus has done for us. Following Jesus isn't just part of our lives, it overflows into everything we do. Our excitement should spill over into love and witness to the would around us.

Stephen faithfully responds to accusations by sharing God's story and giving his life.

Rev. Scott Wright And the high priest said, “Are these things so?” And Stephen said: “Brothers and fathers, hear me." (Acts 7:1–2a ESV)

Domestic and international judges speak separately from their courts' institutional voice in myriad ways. Instances of separate judicial speech range from written and oral dissents, to posing questions from the bench, to an array of extrajudicial activities, such as media appearances and penning memoirs. In domestic systems such as the United States, despite long-standing concerns that individual speech by judges will undermine the corporate vision of a court and erode 'the cult of the robe,' many now view separate judicial speech as serving a valuable function by contributing to the judiciary's authority and legitimacy. Yet, while legal scholars have devoted considerable attention to the practice of separate opinion writing, they often ignore differences in types of concurrences or dissents, and largely gloss over the other ways in which judges speak separately on and off the bench. International legal scholars similarly focus on separate written opinions to the exclusion of the broader array of individual judicial speech, behavior, and practices. This talk interrogates the formal and informal ways in which judges make their voices heard and offers an interdisciplinary typology of separate judicial speech, suggesting that it falls along five dimensions of variance that transcend the domestic/international law divide. It argues that different forms of separate speech reveal markedly different understandings of the role judges do and should play within society. It concludes by considering the normative stakes involved in judges speaking separately and the implications for courts in an era of backlash against international institutions and growing challenges to the rule of law.

Stephen's speech is not what one might expect...

Stephens Speech - Acts 7 2-19-2017 by The Vine Church TC

Only 32% of American adults have "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust in the mass media, according to a Gallup poll released in September. Gallup has been asking this question since 1972, and this was the lowest figure they have recorded. What can be done, on the media side, to address this growing and historically high level of distrust? One answer: Invest in community and engagement editors. Mick Côté makes the case on this episode. He's the engagement editor at the Montreal Gazette, Canada's longest running daily newspaper, founded in 1778. Plus: How reading the comments makes better editors Why community can be a competitive advantage in an increasingly packed media landscape Bringing urgency to community management Big Quotes “[Because they read the comments, our] editors are a lot more aware of what topics are really pertinent to our community. That helps us set out the assignment process. Because then we know that these people really care about this topic. … Knowing this, the editors are able to go in the story meetings and say, ‘Hey, all these people are talking about this one topic or this off-shoot of something that we wrote about, we should look into it.’ And so the whole commenting platform, for us, has been a huge blessing.” -@MickCote “We’ve got reporters [and columnists] who have been with us for decades. They are adopting this social media and engagement thing on their own. … These people also go home and keep answering questions afterwards. But that’s because they truly care about the work. I am super lucky to be working with people who are adopting this type of engagement and this type of community management because I think, ultimately, it’s good for them but it’s also good for the state of journalism because it helps with credibility, with delivery – there’s just so much positive to it.” -@MickCote “When people ask questions or send a message through our Facebook page, I want them to get a reply, even if it’s not something that I deal with. There’s people who send me a thing about ‘Oh, I didn’t receive my newspaper this morning.’ A lot of people would just say, ‘That’s not my job. I’m an editor, I don’t know your address, I don’t have access to all this stuff.’ But you’re also part of that whole system. You have to make it work, and you have to make it a place that people want to engage with. So, yeah, I’ll forward that message to the subscriptions department and make sure that they handle it. There’s a bit of customer service that goes with it. I think putting the reader first is hugely beneficial.” -@MickCote “I have a problem with this traditional journalism view of we are providing the information to you and then our doors are largely locked, or you can’t speak to us unless you file a letter to the editor. It’s not about that anymore. It’s wide open. There’s all sorts of publications on the web now. How can we become or remain one of the most trusted? … The way to do it is not by telling your audience to just eat this and then go share it for me and click on my website, please. The way is to engage and to be a person. People aren’t stupid, they know that there are people behind these accounts, they know we’re not robots, they know we read the comments. So, why not just be a part of the conversation?” -@MickCote “There’s a huge part of engagement editing, in community management, that is traditional customer service. I used to work at Gap, and I feel like sometimes I’m still working at Gap.” -@MickCote About Mick Côté Mick Côté is a journalist with a passion for storytelling and a digital strategist with an obsession for engagement and audience growth. He has been managing communities since graduating from the masters of journalism program at the University of King’s College, with a focus in digital publishing and entrepreneurial journalism.

Speech Acts and Performative Utterances.  In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison discuss the philosophical and linguistic issues of speech acts and performative utterances. Many different kinds of speech acts can be found inside Star Trek, including taking oaths and granting promotions, saying wedding vows and pronouncing marriages, naming androids and christening starships, auto-destruct commands, replicator orders, and transfers of command, to name a few. Zachary and Mike discuss different examples of performative utterances in Star Trek and the role they play in a free society.  In addition, Zachary and Mike consider objections to the concepts of speech acts and performative utterances from the philosophical standpoints of relativism and reductionism.  Chapters Welcome to Episode 31 (00:01:23) What are Speech Acts and Performative Utterances?

To leave the Church is to leave Christ. Attend a Church commited to Sola Scriptura. Attend a Church anchored in the Gospel. Attend a Church whose teaching is on the table and stable with Creeds and Confessions The post The Heavenly Community: Spirit & Speech (Acts 2) appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.

Our Word is Our Bond: How Legal Speech Acts (Stanford UP, 2014), by UC Berkeley Professor of Rhetoric Marianne Constable, impels its readers to reassess the dominant methods of considering what is law. Constable’s study of law is informed by both philosophy and sociology; however, she avoids common approaches employed by both disciplines and instead conducts her legal analysis by searching for directives in the form of J.L. Austin’s “speech acts.” Her methods suggest that there is more of a connection between law-in-books and law-in-action than typical sociological research has proposed. Law-in-books, she argues, is active because it hears claims and makes claims within the context of a world that changes. An overview of the claims found within legal speech, such as promises, debts and warnings, reveals a dynamic force. Constable’s way of thinking about law insularly removes it from the debate between natural law and positive law. As the title Our Word is Our Bond suggests, the work seeks to show that legal language commits us. These commitments come directly from law’s speech acts, thus her theory avoids principles derived either from a sovereign or God. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The recognition of speech acts – classically, things like stating, requesting, promising, and so on – sometimes seems like a curiously neglected topic in the psychology of language. This is odd for several reasons. For one, there's a rich philosophical tradition devoted to the topic. For another, it's in many ways a really classic linguistic problem: one of those things that speakers can do effortlessly, but for which it's extremely hard to explain how. With his new book From Utterances to Speech Acts (Cambridge University Press, 2013), Mikhail Kissine offers a stimulating contribution to the debate. His approach aims to identify certain broad classes of speech act with communicative processes that are genuinely fundamental to human interaction (not merely cultural creations). Moreover, it aims to account for the recognition of speech acts in a way that obviates the need for the classically Gricean process of multi-layered intention attribution: which, as we discuss, has the potential to explain how individuals with deficits in ‘mind-reading' can nevertheless grasp the intended purpose of ambiguous utterances. In this interview, we also discuss the major philosophical and practical contributions of this approach, and explore the consequences of it for our views of the nature of human-human communication.
