di·al·o·gism

/dīˈaləˌjizəm/

noun

the use in a text of different tones or viewpoints, whose interaction or contradiction is important to the text's interpretation.

(Source: Oxford English Dictionary)

“The concept of dialogue as can be applied to the anthropology of diaspora does not imply an equality among participants in the process. It entails, rather, multiparty interactions of material, ideational, and discursive phenomena, among others, in complex relationships characterized more often than not by an unequal distribution of power; a dialogue not between fixed objects, but a process of mutual influence and conditioning that is itself already part of an ongoing dialogic process where “rhetorics of self-making” (pace Battaglia 1995) play a crucial role.”

The funny thing

I fear I am going to waste your time. This is the first post on my tumblr, really. You know who I am. The act of microblogging could lead to macroblogging. Perhaps. Utterly self-conscious as always, a toe in the water? The important thing will be to define a public identity that is not at odds with my current public responsibilities. Anything could cross the line. So there is care involved. Craft. Self-making. So, as long as you acknowledge that, then welcome. I apologize for not being what may seem me in favor of a public persona. I figure, as long as I am up front in the beginning...so we can be frank. We can be honest about leaving out some things. So I am curating, which some I have read say is not the point of blogging. Catch me up on these conversations if you have found them.
