Questions About Responding and Commenting

Arlie Hochschild, “Empathy Maps”

Fastwrite

I’m interested in thinking about Hochschild’s piece 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 “mapping empathy” possibly be considered another one of the “arts of the contact zone”?

Please try to locate a particular point or passage in Hochschild’s piece that you’d like to relate to a passage from Pratt.
