L'enxandallament del món

A disappointed chronicle of the end of the species. Using linguistic changes as a mirror, Pau Vidal portrays in short pieces the inexorable decline of humanity towards vulgarity and ignorance, with the Catalan people as a dramatic exemplary case. As Alessandro Baricco warned in The Barbarians, post-capitalist civilization has exhausted not only the resources of the earth but also its own, starting with linguistics: reduction of vocabulary, trivialization of meanings, perversion of forms, low cost of uses... The Catalan language has become a landfill for its neighbors, the linguistic diversity of the planet is drastically declining... The tracksuiting of the world is, in short, a transparent metaphor for the change of era.
