Dear professor and colleagues,
Hope you are alright!
This is my video about Intersectionality, Performativity and Critical Interculturality in relation to the case of Aaron Philip.

Dear Hans,
ReplyDeleteFirst, congratulations! Because you are a really creative and dynamic person with this kind of task. The PowerPoint design is well-organized and with precise keywords to follow the connections you made between the articles and Aaron's videos (in your case). I just watched the one provided by the professor.
I also want to share with you that I saw myself when you were answering question 5 because you contextualized your professional academic context. Even though there are many connections among theories and some contexts. It seems that packing some of our realities into those theories is more important than theorizing or making meaning from what we identified in our classrooms.
Finally, I want to thank you for the question you posted. I chose that one and I could talk about critical intercultural communication because it is related to one of my research constructs and I think is a relevant concept to address when we are discussing identities, intersectional dimensions, and multimodal resources as well as questioning society's power issues. Besides, it was a concept clearly stated and explained by the authors in some of the papers we read which were connected with new applied linguistic issues.
Regards,
Cata.
My dear Cata,
DeleteThanks for your valuable comments. Yes, I agree, although we are in different parts of the country, we work at similar conditions in our schools. Happy to know you answer the question I posted. Basically, that's the reason why I decided to include this in the question, this is also part of my research proposal and I wanted to know some of your perceptions regarding that.
Regards,
Hans
Dear Hans:
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your video very much, especially because of the way you bring up the theory to support your claims and analysis about the video, so along the video the audience is introduced to your voice in light of the literature you have read. I also enjoyed how you managed to spark the content of your slides with different quotes by Aaron, which are both compelling and inspiring.
About the content of your analysis, I want to stand out something you mentioned about how identities are ever-changing, and so we can expect Aaron (and all of us, for that matter) to continue flipping categories along her life. This connect very well with the Stone's (2018) idea of unfinished subjects. We are all a performative project in constant reshaping, permeated by historical, social and cultural times and spaces, and the way we portray or withhold such performativity can take the form of several semiotic resources. This is probably one of the most challenging aspects when we talk about identity with other people, because it is sometimes hard for them to understand that you embody multiple identities at once, and that some of them might even be conflictive (in my case, for instance, my sexual identity antagonizes with my religious identity).
Thank you for your insights, I consider that this exercise of watching each other’s analysis on the same video help us consider things we might have taken for granted in our own analysis.
Dear Alex,
DeleteHope you are doing well.
Thanks for your comments and your opinion. Definitely, as you mentioned, every single individual is in a constant process of transformation and co-construction of identity(ies). Yes, I think voices from people who have being marginalized and oppressed are still to be listened.
Regards,
Hans

DeleteDear Alex, Catalina and Hans, I also liked very much the idea of introducing the context before engaging in any projection of course of action. I guess Catalina felt this as a good start because they both do experience diversity at different levels in public education. About Alex's comment, I could not help thinking that the idea that identities are fluid and that they are always changing could become dogmatic for some people. What I mean is that some people may settle for an identity affiliation and feel they don't want to change it, or at least one intersection of an identity affiliation: for example professional, gender, ethnic etc... So, I guess it is up to the individual to decide to what extent they want some dimensions of the self to remain static or changing. Otherwise, the idea of fluid identities could become another essentializing concept.
DeleteThank you professor Jos茅 Aldemar for your valuable and interesting insights.
DeleteI agree with you, most of the people (I include myself somehow) prefer to stay in static dimensions of the self that have been preliminary established by society. However, I am sure there are many people who are in a clear discomfort with their identity affiliations and they are afraid of the idea of exploring other/new changing dimensions.

Thank you for your reply, Hans. Good luck with introducing these ideas progressively in your classes.
