  1. Gloria Anzaldua • Points of Identification with Anzaldua: • Chopping up and labeling p.101 • “Only viable choice” lives a contradiction p. 103 • Living In between--my childhood as the youngest and oldest • Religion: Moses and Ministers

  2. Nature of the World • A Continuum: • Borderlands: a world of culture tension and clash • Nepantla: “torn between ways” • Mestiza: a new “mestiza” consciousness--a synthesis

  3. Definition of Feminism: Mestiza: Addressing oppression on the borderlands Nature of the Rhetor: Straddles multiple cultural boundaries example--two languages, Moses? Rhetorical Options: Use of metaphors--resistance to change and dead metaphors p.115

  4. Three Context/Realms of Metaphoric Shifts • Intrapersonal Realm: By changing self, world is changed • Interpersonal Realm: Four interpersonal options-- • island--no bridges • drawbridge--up and down • bridge--being available • sandbar--shifting location • Public Realm: Creative arts, performances, and presentations (a sneak attack)

  5. Transformation of Rhetorical Theory • Anzaldua is committed to multiplicity, instability, disorientation, insecurity, and conflicting demands. She resists the tendencies manifest in traditional rhetorical theory toward stability, rigidity, codification , and confinement of terms of meaning. (Foss, p. 124) • Ethos: In the borderlands she contrasts “truthfulness”(main stream confirmation) to “making faces” • Exigence: Instead of fixing a defect keep the wound open and festering • Identification: making no attempt, the choice of the rebel • Change: multiple options t audience rather than one focus that is supported
