[Linganth] Linganth Digest, Vol 77, Issue 2

Wed Feb 3 17:25:15 UTC 2021

Hi, Ignasi! Do blog posts count? I wrote this up (for the Cambridge
University Press blog) in the early months of the pandemic:

http://www.cambridgeblog.org/2020/05/the-invisible-enemy-language-trump-and-covid-19/

That was before Trump contracted covid himself. Since then, I have given a
couple of talks that explore Trump's masculinist victory lapping after
returning from Walter Reed - as he and his political supporters have
derided masking as feminine weakness while celebrating catching + surviving
covid as a sign of nationalist vigor. The dynamic might be deemed "covid
callousing," after my concept of "semiotic callousing," developed in a
chapter in *Language in the Trump Era*. Covid callousing, of course, is
implicitly white supremacist, abelist, and ageist, given the demographics
most vulnerable to covid-19.
