“A word devoid of thought is a dead thing, and a thought unembodied in words remains a shadow.”
― Lev S. Vygotsky, Thought and Language

“El otro simplemente refleja y representa aquello que es profundamente familiar al centro, pero proyectado para fuera de sí mismo. Por ello cuando los binarismos son identificados culturalmente, el primer término siempre ocupa como dice MaCannel (1989) la posición gramatical del “él”, pero nunca del “yo” o del “tu”, construyendo la modalidad enunciativa su posición de privilegio (2000, p. 191)”
― Silvia Duschatzky & Carlos Skliar

“The recognition that modern societies are no longer monolithic, that the
imaginary social space has mushroomed into a multitude of identities has
propelled us into a realization that we are in an era where interculturality,
transculturalism and the eventual prospect of identifying a cosmopolitan
citizenship can become a reality. However we still remain circumscribed by
our Little Italies, our China Towns etc., which beyond the pleasures of
experiencing culinary delights, nevertheless create a self illusion that we
have attained a level of cultural awareness of the other.”
― Donald Cuccioletta

“I find myself only by losing myself.”
― Paul Ricoeur
