[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Umberto Eco: Reason in the Age of Terrorism

[josh zeidner <jjzeidner@yahoo.com>]

"The Greeks referred to those who did not speak their
language as barbarians, that is stammerers, as if they
did not speak at all."

  looks like a malapropism on Eco's part.  Barbarian
comes from latin barbarus, which means beard( i.e.
barber ).  Barbarian literally meant, "bearded one".
