NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

This engagement focuses on space, boundaries, and what we can learn about “remapping the discourse of identity,” from the assigned pieces: “’Representing’ Street Gangs: Performance and Cultural Space,” by Dwight Conquergood, “A Landscape of Violence and Tragedy,” by Kenneth E. Foote, “Great Expectorations, Phlegm Fatale, and Other Viscosities in the Viscissitudes of Translation,” by C. T. Steckline, and “Hands by Sherwood Anderson. Consider the insights into space and boundaries you glean from reading these pieces.

Discuss particularly how these pieces make you think about how we (re)map identity/identities nonverbally.

Devote 3-4 paragraphs to discussing each in terms of how you come to think about boundaries, personal, cultural, and interpersonal space.
