Lambeth and Pratt

In groups

Asymmetry is a keyword for both Lambeth and Pratt. Please spend a few minutes thinking and talking about how their uses of this term/concept align and how they differ.

Contact Zones, and their Arts

Fastwrite

According to Pratt, what distinguishes a contact zone from other social spaces? And what distinguishes its “arts” from other those of other social spaces?

Groups, Responses, and Comments

To Do

1. Mon, 9/09, class: Please read Arlie Hochschild’s “Empathy Maps”. I’m interested in thinking about her work in relation to Pratt’s, especially since where Pratt talks about “contact zones”, Hochschild talks about “empathy zones”. What’s at stake in this difference? Or might “empathy” and “mapping” somehow also be considered “arts of the contact zone”?
2. Mon, 9/09, 4:00 pm: Group A posts responses to Mellix’s “Outside, In”.
3. Tues, 9/10, 4:00 pm: Everyone else reads Group A’s responses (along with Mellix, of course) and posts comments on at least two.
4. Wed, 9/11, class: We will use those responses and comments to structure our class discussion of Mellix.
5. Wed, 9/11, 4:00 pm: Group B posts responses to Lu’s “From Silence to Words”.
6. Thurs, 9/12, 4:00 pm: Everyone else reads Group B’s responses and posts comments on at least two.
7. Fri, 9/13, class: We will use those responses and comments to structure our class discussion of Lu.
