Unlearning Languages that Control the Mind
About this book
The edited collection Unlearning Languages That Control the Mind (ULCM) is to be read as a continuous multi?voiced work on what takes place when we forget that unlearning is a part of our existence as much as learning. As the world as we know it finds itself at a critical juncture yet again, how we talk about the continuously amassing genocidal invasions and authoritarian occupations of our minds, thoughts, bodies and environments will affect how we experience, process and counter them on a day?to?day basis. Based on this, ULCM offers its readers a singular interdisciplinary blueprint of the inner and outer workings of motivated language use when in service of mind engineering and engineered acting. As such, it is a valuable enabling resource for anyone looking to identify and unlearn the languages that mask belief traps and cognitive distortions set up by various antisocial actors to keep our day?to?day cognition and acting confined to society as engineered laboratory. With its interdisciplinary breadth and engaging multimodal content, this handbook breaks new grounds in actionable application of science as accessible community?enabling tool for seeing through, i.e. dismantling belief traps and mental distortions that turn language use into mindbody abuse.
