    I had to read the first two lectures of his book and do an essay about it but when I didn't understand what J. L. Austin was trying to explain. I tried to read the English version because I noticed some parts weren't accurately translated, but (again) I didn't feel as I really understand. Now, I just saw this video and I get better his ideas. I am very thankful! The explanation wasn't difficult to follow and I enjoyed the examples haha. Keep doing good videos(:

      Sounds like an interesting topic. I'm sure there are plenty of speech acts in the world of banking!

      Oh, pardon me, I meant Securitisation in the political realm. The Copenhagen theorists predicate their Securitisation on language theory, I think it's interesting to attempt to deconstruct their claims and try to understand how they intended to utilize the Speech Act in their discourse of analysis.

    Its so interesting Austin's work. Its the type of text perfect to subvert by Lacan`s thought. Austin totally misses the thing by not knowing anything about the unconcious. Saying it in other words, all the acts of speaking are performatives, because at least when we speak we are implying that someone will listen (either its there in reality or not).
    Great video Ill continue watching!

I just need to figure out a way to achieve a similar feel to my lectures/ presentations with my existing set-up, because I really feel students will respond better. My laptop is not a surface one and I think those apps are probably iOS, I will check them out and have a think on it.

    Hi - a question about the production rather than the content - can you tell me what software you used to prepare the presentation? I love the way you hand-annotated the slides - something I'd like to use in my own teaching.

      Since I get this question more often, here’s a quick tutorial on how I create my videos. I use basically the same approach as the folks at the Khan Academy, which you may be familiar with. These are the tools I use:
      1. My laptop is a Microsoft Surface, which comes with an excellent stylus.
      2. I use a program called Camtasia to record what's on my screen. For the drawing program I use Sketchbook (sketchbook.com/)
      3. My mic is an AKG (I think it's the P420). I used to have a Yeti microphone, which was okay too.
      4. I use an arm stand and pop filter to reduce extra noises and vibration.
      5. The interface between the mic and the laptop is a FocusRite Scarlett Solo.
      6. You'll need some kind of headset to check the sound quality after you record. Nothing fancy required. However, you do have to make sure that in Camtasia you change the sound quality from mono to stereo so that the sound comes through both ears.
      7. You need a very quiet room, esp. if your mic is a good one and picks up every last little sound.
      There are many other ways to make educational videos, so best of luck if you're heading down this road!

    Is "The piano has been drinking" from the book? 'Coz it's the refrain of a Tom Waits song.

    • @thenatureofwriting9222

      It's not in the book, so maybe it's an allusion to Tom Waits. You can decide. :)

    The problem with the third (nonsense) statement is that fundamentally a piano isnt a thing that exists. By applying values to the piano one can sensibly say that this thing is more piano like, but to suppose a piano is something that can have other values or attributes applied to it is impossible. It is a thing that is a piano, and a thing can not directly adopt the organic qualities so commonly attributed by humans to other human actions (ex: the piano is thirsty, the paper flew away, the wheel is racing down the street). These are human effectors, a human cause, a human choice to influence the perception of something. Those who study language forget often that they themselves are the ones who invented language. This is just another case of amnesia, the only sensible application of such an idea is as rhetoric or comedy. It simply isn't factual or even probable that a "piano has been drinking heavily" and shouldn't be interpreted as such. What a non-problem. 👏👏👏👏👏
    FURTHERMORE "piano" exists at the level of experience and association. I grew up in a house where a TV remote was called a whipper. Having it be a whipper does not make it any less a tv remote, but if I were at a friends house and ask them to pass me the whipper, in their experience governed by their association of what a whipper is, they would be unable to find relative coordinates regarding "whipper", to which they would present confusion or befuddlement. They could be taught this thing is a whipper, and then they could form a rational association between whipper and tv remote, but the expectation of this as intuitive is entirely cultural.
    So the next time i ask them to pass me the whipper, they can make a decision regarding my request.
