At the moment, I simply don't have the words to write an academic obituary for one of the greatest visionaries of the 20th century. In less than a month's time, we lost the fathers of structuralism (Levi-Strauss) and sociolinguistics (Hymes). Dell Hathaway Hymes' vision of
a better world through an empirical study of marginalized voices in society has profoundly impacted my research. I recently presented a paper on Hymes' deep engagement with socialist concerns, and feel that we have only now began to really understand his powerful
vision on how language policy impacts social inequality. It was my professor at Ghent University, Jan Blommaert, who opened up his complex oeuvre and showed that many of his ideas are absolutely essential to better understand language in society. But most of all; Hymes learned me to LISTEN to others, and that listening is an act of love.
I was hoping to see Dell accompany his wife Virginia to the panel in her honour at the upcoming
annual anthropology convention in Philly next month, but that will not happen.
I can only try to pay respect to him the best I can through further engaging with his
monumental legacy. May your vision live on, Dell.
