Today's the 4th🎂of my article exploring the subversive potential of #Tolstoyan #defamiliarisation. Freely available here: https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/The_subversive_potential_of_Leo_Tolstoy_s_defamiliarisation_a_case_study_in_drawing_on_the_imagination_to_denounce_violence/9468479.

Short summary: T is primary example of master of #literary technique of ‘#defamiliarisation’ (looking at the familiar as if new) to shake readers into recognising absurdity of common views & practices

Article focuses on T’s #defamiliarization of common justifications of #violence (with examples), encouraging readers to admit their implicit #complicity & noticing process which numbed them into accepting such complicity

Then reflects on 4 specific #subversive characteristics of defam: #disruption of automated perception, implicit #concession of problem, corrosion of respect for traditional #hierarchies, & encouragement of #empathy

@evan or #orange #squash when run by 4 eight year old #kids and their mums aren't #charging them for the oranges which of course means they are getting a #concession on basic #costs. And usually no rent.

Shockingly the mums have also been known to juice the oranges at no charge. Appalling behaviour.

Les sociétés d'autoroutes semblent être toujours intouchables. Depuis des années, elles dictent au Gouvernement toutes les mesures à prendre pour conserver leurs profits et assurer ainsi des rentes à leurs actionnaires. Et le contrôle de l'ART, qui permettrait de défendre l'Etat et les usagers ? Eh bien on se passe de son avis grâce à un tour de passe-passe.
L'ART n'est pas contente… cela changera-t-il quoi que ce soit ?

There are about 2.1 million valid reasons why I only want to hear one more thing from #Bolsonaro,Jair:
A #concession speech that is in full compliance with and respect for the #constitution of #Brazil.

Does anyone remember US gymnast McKayla Maroney and her famous #pout on the podium?
Well, that young lady got over her defeat quickly - certainly when compared to that petulant manchild of a spoilt brat known as Trolland Dump.

Three weeks in and still no sign of a #concession or an honest #congratulation to the winner of the #elections2020.

If you do not like the rules of the game, do not play!
That name of the game is #democracy, by the way.

Ingredients of a proper #concession speech:
- admitting defeat
- thanking your supporters
- congratulating the winner and wishing him all the best

What should never be part of a proper concession speech:
- unfounded allegations of voter fraud
- flirting with a scenario that ignores the outcome of an #election.

So no: #TrollandDump's latest tweets are no concession of any kind, but rather another attempt at deepening the divisions within the society.

Einfach auf der Zunge zergehen lassen oder besser: hören und geniessen...

What was that? Went to the shower, listened to «#change is gonna come» and other soul classics masterfully sung by Otis Redding and got back to the desk to see that #Pennsylvania has been called for #Biden. This is it. This is the end of the road for #Trump. Time for that #concession speech. Let the healing begin. #elections2020

À qui sont les autoroutes médiévales ?

Pour emprunter l’#autoroute, vous payez un #péage. Ces portails assez impopulaires, ne sont pas seulement des points d’entrée et de paiement, ils symbolisent aussi la concession des voies rapides par l’État à des groupes privés chargés de leur entretien. Cette #concession a vocation à prendre fin un jour, car depuis le #MoyenÂge la propriété des routes se rattache finalement à la chose publique et à la souveraineté étatique
