Words-thropology 2019

A personal diary*list of Vocabs, I have been looking the meaning of.

28 words this year, from a wide selection of contexts and channels: series, cinema, tv, books, online articles, magazines, friends. Different words open different conceptual windows. A list with a few words doesn’t mean little knowledge.

28 sparks collected as raw data for an ongoing project at the crossroad of linguistic, learning analytics and memory.
