Pratt is interested in the texts that subordinate people write that mix subordinate and dominant languages, images, genres. She is especially interested when subordinate people use these texts to challenge dominant groups. She pulls examples from Poma's autoethnography, an autoethnography is a form of research where the author writes about themselves based on the dominant people's observations of them, while also challenging those observations.. Pratt uses this example of Poma's writing to show transculturation, which is the process in which members of the subordinate group select and invent from materials taken from dominant groups.

Poma takes key parts of Christianity and Andean culture to make sense of it, and merges them. Pratt chooses these examples to show transculturaation and autoethnography.

The main idea in the video is that a form of language should not be imposed upon anyone as a standard - people express themselves differently, through different words and dialects of their language, which is their identity. A common theme is acceptance - take students as they come and value them for who they are. The audience for the video educators.

The main idea is fighting between two identities because she didn't think she would be accepted as both at the same time - a Chicana and a lesbian, she felt like she would be betraying her culture as a Chicana. A message from her video is that she had to chose between being a Chicana lesbian, or a white lesbian - ultimately choosing the "white part" of herself, because it gave her the option to achieve more just because of privilege. The audience is for Moraga is both Chicanos and white people - she is "playing on both sides" - Chicanos wouldn't accept her as a Chicana and a lesbian, and white people wouldn't accept her as a Chicana - so she made the best of both worlds - she played as a white lesbian for a white audience, and as Chicana for a Chicano audience.

The main idea in "How to tame a wild tongue" is how her language is closely linked to her identity and it defines her and how she uses different dialects of said language to communicate with different people in her life found in different circumstances. A common idea in her text is what she experienced because she was a "Chicana" , the judgments and labels while growing up in the US. The audience in Anzaldua's text is everyone that is outside of her culture, meaning not a Chicana growing up in the US. This is made clear because she is explaining her hardships in detail, thing she wouldn't have to do with someone from the same culture.

The purpose of the text is to show how easy it is to portray yourself as someone else and how different you look to people with different perspectives. People around us influence the way we act. Towards the end of the video she explains that she would like someone to tell her who she is rather than her finding out herself.

The main idea is that there is not just a single original self but an amalgam of different personalities that "come out" in appropriate context.

The main idea of the text is that you should not judge or stereotype someone or something, based on a single story (usually a negative story) you know or you heard. Single stories emphasize how we are different rather than how we are similar.

We have read the following texts this week:

Beyonce’, “Formation”

Pose, “The Category Is Royalty”

Pratt, “The Arts of the Contact Zone”

For this activity, you will create two posts that offer academic summaries of “The Category Is Royalty” and “The Arts of the Contact Zone”. Each post should have:

A focus on each text’s presentation of identity and creating “mixed” texts.

A “packed” introductory sentence

Sentences that use the creator’s name, signal verb, and concrete explanations of important ideas or moments

2-3 paragraphs that group the important ideas or moments logically.

If you finish the summary task:

1. Review your summaries of the previous texts.

2. Create a new post that notes what is missing from your previous summaries.

1. Explain what work you will need to do to use this summary in Assignment #2.

2. Connect this “review” post to the original summary post.
