We have extensively discussed the concept of locating oneself within a worldview. Specifically we have focused on self-locating relative to a set of norms—whether they are personal, social, cultural, religious, abstract or a complex combination of properties. For example, we began the course by self-locating in to the position of amputees by choice. Next, we moved on to finding a general location for ‘personhood’. One of the goals of this course is to understand our relative distance from practices, persons, perspectives, and norms. If we are precise about our self-location we can understand to what extent our understanding is limited.
Your task is to choose a social, cultural, religious, biological, abstract conceptual, or complex (relational) norm and to analyze the following components in an essay (see essay guidelines below):
Explain how this norm works as a ‘worldview’. That is, what are the values, practices, linguistic and conceptual components, and perspectives of the cultural norm?
What are the ways in which this cultural norm is communicated to its members? Here, focus on verbal, non-verbal, written, and any other form of communication. Be exact about the diverse ways in which the norm is communicated.
In what way does an outsider of this norm fail to understand the worldview? Discuss both the general and the specific: A) Discuss the failures of translation between a general outsider of the norm and the norm that you have chosen; B) Discuss the ways in which a specific “other” norm (here you can use any norm at all) would fail to understand the norm that you have chosen.
Give a solution to the problem that you have posed in 3. That is, how can we solve the failure in understanding/translation between norms? Can that failure of understanding be alleviated in any way?
Your essay must: Within each of our checkpoint weeks (see syllabus), we will be working on specific tasks for each of these components. You will be working on both topic development and structured writing. Directions will be provided during each of the checkpoint weeks.
