321 week 6 1. Dominican Americans navigate disparities between self-ascribed and other-ascribed identities, relying on language to resist phenotype-based racial categorization and assert their race through Spanish proficiency, while also identifying with African American peers due to shared political-economic circumstances. 2. Preadolescent girls construct microinteractional and macrosocial identities through embodied styling and stance-taking, mocking and indexing culturally salient representations, resulting in sociostructural consequences that reinforce social categories beyond their immediate peer group. 3. Latina/os utilize linguistic authenticity mockery as a form of social critique, criticizing power dynamics and cultural appropriation in language use, claiming control over language learning, and emphasizing the intersection of language, identity, and power dynamics. Questions: 1. How do Dominican Americans navigate the tensions between their self-ascribed identities and the phenotype-based racial categorization prevalent in the US? 2. How do the acts of transmodal stylization and stance-taking among preadolescent girls contribute to the construction and reification of social categories beyond their immediate peer group? Critique: The emphasis on certain ethnic/racial groupings and the lack of generalizability to other contexts. Further research might look into the intersectionality of language and identity in different cultural and linguistic communities, increasing our understanding of how social categories are negotiated through language.
