General Instructions
Instructions
1. Teams will be created and they'll choose one station
- Choose roles :
- Moderator : Keeps track of time and ensures the group stays on task.
- Theory curator: Has the readings and resources and looks for specific quotes/info to fulfill the task
- Designer/ publisher: Takes the lead in shared desiging tasks and prepares to post the group’s work on our Padlet page.
2. You will work on your station and each station for 15 minutes (make sure all team members have access to your answers/products/reflections. 3. Jigsaw sharing: New groups will be created (1 member from each station) and you will share your work! PADLET LINK:
Naming as Praxis: Latinx / Latine
Many of the readings we have explored highlight ongoing conversations between gender and language, and this makes us think about the latine process of gender/gender identity and its relation to language practices as a threat or way to survive. Thus, names aren’t neutral. As Muñoz reminds us, naming often pushes us to perform what’s legible to power (he calls this coercive mimesis) or to make space for an otherwise way of being/knowing that doesn’t fit ready-made scripts (otherwiseness). Moraga’s call for a “new language” is one such otherwise move. The Latinx/Latine debate is a live test of all this.
TO DO
Instructions: 1.Skim this resource 2.Each member of the group chooses 2 of the LGBTQ+ experiences and skims them. 3.Using Muñoz & Moraga's lens: • Discuss benefits and risks of Latinx and of Latine encounter within these language practices (think: anglicization, pronounceability, inclusivity, transnational use, class/race dynamics).
How do our naming choices (Latinx, Latine, Latina/o/e, another term) balance fitting in vs. making room? Who becomes legible, and on whose terms?
Otherwiseness & Art as Resistance
"Write with your eyes like painters, with your ears Iike musicians, with your feet like dancers. You are the truthsayer with quill and torch. Write with your tongues of fire. Don't let the pen banish you from yourself. Don’t let the ink coagulate in your pens. Don't let the censor snuff out the spark, nor the gags muffle your voice \But your shit on the paper." (Anzalduá, 2009, p. 5)
Starting from otherwiseness (Muñoz), how can you connect Anzaldúa’s “Tongues of fire,” Moraga’s view on faith, and bell hooks’s erotic to reimagine what counts as knowledge and whose voices become legible? What shifts in relations, norms, and forms would be required to make more livable worlds possible, and what practices of care, coalition, or erotic attention would anchor them?
Create a small piece of art that connects otherwiseness to writing, faith, the erotic. You may write (poem, letter, fragment) or use the materials provided (colors, markers, , play dough) to craft a visual/tactile work.
TO DO
Visual Thinkers
If, following Muñoz, “reason” is de-universalized, how do the concepts of otherwiseness (Muñoz), anglicization / faith (Moraga), and invisibility/tokenization & language policing (Anzaldúa) reconfigure what counts as knowledge and animate affect-driven resistance?
Create a mind map / flow chart / sketchnote that answers the question by tracing the concepts across the three authors and naming the new criteria for knowledge your synthesis proposes.
