	Language and Empire
		Spanish hegemony in writing the official history of the conquest and the people in the Americas, along with the colonialist language which was a part of that history, consistently ignored indigenous conceptions of themselves and their history, in favor of ones which were fundamentally European in outlook.
		Because the Spanish were in control of writing, and the means of publication, they were also in control of the history of the conquest and of the Americas which was presented to the rest of the world.
		The Spanish were successful to a certain extent in imparting their vision, as opposed to the Indians' vision, of the history of the conquest and of the conquered people.

		We proposed that they participate in a virtual conference while carrying on their usual scholarly duties -- which all of them did, except Reid Mitchell who was a Fulbright scholar abroad during this time.

		There is a disconnected history of distributed writing, and it is this multivalent history, and the multivalence of history, that survives in the shadows of deficit; unrecognized.
		Explicitly, this possibility of developing a platform for distributive writing over clustered networks lies precisely in the fact that the network can (and will) be exposed: the only place to find writing with provenance and pedigree.
		The distinct goal, and unsung hero of this text, is the proposal for the creation of just such a digital repository of writings; a new form of journal that makes prominent the modes of creation believed to be essential but considered of atropied significance.

	Writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historians draw a distinction between prehistory and history, with history defined by the advent of writing.
		Writing may refer to two activities: the inscribing of characters on a medium, with the intention of forming words and other constructs that represent language or record information, and the creation of material to be conveyed through written language.
		As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language.

	The Bible and History by Daniel J. Harrington, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
		She explores how the biblical authors wrote their histories, the kind of history that they thought they were writing, how history was perceived in the ancient world, the authors’ aims and sources, their flexibility in composition and the roles of literary style and theology/ideology in their works.
		Taking as his starting point the early history of writing in Israel, he shows how writing was endowed with a magical and even numinous character, and how it soon became an instrument of the state and the temple.
		In The Bible in History: How the Texts Have Shaped the Times (Oxford Univ. Press, 389p, $35), David W. Kling, associate professor in the department of religious studies at the University of Miami, explores eight cases in which specific biblical texts have shaped Western history and history has shaped the interpretation of these biblical texts.

	Linguistics 201: History of the English Language
		Although English was then the spoken language of England, most scientific and religious writing was done in a scholarly version of Latin rather than in the English vernacular. As the Norman-French nobility forgot French and shiften to the mixed English-French that we call middle English, Latin came to replace French as the language of writing.
		The rise of nationalism led to increased use of native spoken languages rather than Latin. The appearance of the King James Bible in the early 17th century did much to popularize the use of English over Latin and Greek in writing. By 1700 English had virtually replaced Latin as the accepted means of written communication.
		Language is an expression of human activity and of the world around us, and changes in that world bring forth innovations in a language. Also, contact with other languages may cause a language to change very quickly and radically.

	On Automatic Writing
		Outlining the history of automatic writing, however, means outlining the history of the excavation of the origins of creativity.
		Automatic writing was to be a liberator, one foundation on which the revolution of the irrational was to rest.
		Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), ferocious student of his own psyche as witnessed by his obsessively kept notebooks, wrote the absolute masterpiece in the strata of automatic writing.

		The central (and not so central) questions of Marxist history and philosophy are engaged throughout Deleuze and Guattari's writing, but their sense and meaning has been fundamentally rewritten in light of the question of desire, of the generation and corruption of different forms of subjectivity.
		Deleuze and Guattari announce against Hegel that "universal history is the history of contingencies, and not the history of necessity." This meditation on the contingent and the event runs throughout their writing on history ( AO 140/163).
		Universal history would seem to be a mode of practicing philosophy incapable of being redeemed today.
