Hi 👋 I’m Kathrin (she/her), I’m 28, an Social Anthropologist and Political Scientist. With my videos, I hope to inspire us to do both the internal and external work. Not only challenge 0ppressive broader external structures, but to also root out our that piece of the 0ppresser which is planted deep within each of us. Welding our outward political social rev0luti0ns, with this deep inner reflection and evolution of our consciousness. 💝In this video I explore linguistic capitalism, endangered languages, the sapir-whorf hypothesis, how language is a weapon of oppression, linguicide, if indigenous languages hold the key to understanding the mysteries of the universe, how language shapes worldview, what words we do not get have and how can we give name to the nameless so it can be thought... ⌚️Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:18 Naming The Nameless 07:44 Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis 13:38 Linguistic Imperialism 17:14 Linguistic Capitalism 25:00 The Animism of Language 32:07 Conclusion: Liberating Language
