A Critical Study Of Language Minority Students' Participation In Language Communities In The Korean Context, Miso Kim, Tae-Young Kim
Dr. Tae-Young Kim (김태영, 金兌英)
In South Korea, Damunwha students (students from multicultural family backgrounds) have difficulties at school because of others’ derogatory perception of them and the different linguistic and cultural settings. In light of this issue, this paper addresses the Damunwha students’ identities and participation within the language communities from a community of practice perspective and a critical pedagogy perspective. Four students (two from international marriage families and two from immigrant workers’ families), their teachers, and their supervisors participated in the study from March to April 2013. The findings suggest that Damunwha students’ participation in Korean society depends on their resources, others’ perception …

The search for an ever-elusive home is a thread that runs throughout much literature by authors who have immigrated to the United States. Dominican authors are particularly susceptible to this search for a home because “for many Dominicans, home is synonymous with political and/or economic repression and is all too often a point of departure on a journey of survival” (Bonilla 200). This “journey of survival” is a direct reference to the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, who controlled the Dominican Republic from 1930-1961. The pain and trauma that Trujillo inflicted upon virtually everyone associated with the Dominican Republic …

Testimony, Jonna C. Mackin
Dr. Jonna C Mackin
This introduction to my book about comedy seeks to establish who I am as a writer of a book about comedy and about ethnicity. It then goes on to explain why comedy, identity and desire so often are linked by referencing theories of Diana Fuss and Homi Bhabha as well as Sigmund Freud on comedy.
Split Infinities: The Comedy Of Performative Identity In Maxine Hong Kingston's *Tripmaster Monkey*, Jonna Mackin
Split Infinities: The Comedy Of Performative Identity In Maxine Hong Kingston's *Tripmaster Monkey*, Jonna Mackin
Dr. Jonna C Mackin
The article discusses a quarrel between Frank Chin and Maxine Hong Kingston regarding Chinese American Identity and goes on to analyze Kingston's novel *Tripmaster Monkey, His Fake Book* as a case where an analysis of the comedy leads to questions about her professed multiculturalism. Kingston's jokes reveal hidden aggression in the text and a tendency to obscure or erase African American cultural icons.

This chapter develops the argument in "Self-Effacement and Autonomy in Sx," extending it to fantasies of apotheosis in the poems and plays.
Self-Effacement And Autonomy In Shakespeare, Kirby Farrell Prof
Self-Effacement And Autonomy In Shakespeare, Kirby Farrell Prof
kirby farrell
This is a chapter from my _Play, Death, and Heroism in Shakespeare_ (1988). It identifies a pattern of behavior in Sx and Early Modern culture, in which children learn to efface themselves in order to achieve (or "earn") autonomy. The paradigm has significant implications for the structure of authority in EarlyModern culture, and in Shakespeare supports the fantasies of heroic apotheosis everywhere in his work.
