In this introductory program, we will move between a variety of theoretical traditions and art practices (particularly in experimental writing, sound art, philosophy and psychoanalysis) to think about language as it stands in relation to sound and image, thinking and memory, power and the individual.

The reader has to put it all together at the end." In an interview Anzaldúa adds: "My code switching is my way to resist being made into something else. [...] This resistance is part of the anticolonial struggle against both the Spanish colonizers and the white colonizers.
