KUMA´S CONFERENCE
So what? Why me?
-
"Language is the place (...) where ourselves, our subjectivity, is constructed." (Weeden, 1997:21)
"English in its role as a global language, creates, reflects and spreads the important and imagery of the global flows." (Kumaravadivelu, 2006:1).

Address two narratives

Post-modernism
Identity is fluid, dinamic and fragmented
It is an ongoing business, an never-ending exercise
It’s multiple, not singular

What is it?
Identity is the set of aspects (Cultural, ethnic, generic, racial etc) which we can see ourselves reflected in and which we appropiate as part of our essence
What can I use it for?
To know yourself
Every feature tells a story. When you put them together, the story gets longer. Some people sees as their goal reading the whole story
To divide
In some cases the people who belong to a group try to establish themselves as supeior or better than the ones who don't belong to it (Such as a race, a religion, a place or a language) and the worst kind of this people is even able to segregate or attack people who aren't part for their identity
To unify
The sensation of belowing somewhere makes us interact more easily with people who also belong there and even being able to identify more similarities which take to establish stronger links
-
Changing landscape
Clearly, postmodernism has greater explanatory power than modernism
