- Title
"Popping it" as family in Mosquitoes & Me: affective accumulation and Anzaldúan aesthetic consciousness in Ciencia Zurda.
- Authors
Bruna, Katherine Richardson; Farley, Jennifer; Bartholomay, Lyric
- Abstract
This article uses key concepts of Anzaldúan philosophy to describe the Mosquitoes & Me summer camp as ciencia zurda or left-handed science. It details a day-in-the-life portrait of Elena, a first-generation Latina middle schooler, as she experiences the opportunities that Mosquitoes & Me provided for self-other bridge crossing and radically relational, Nepantlan potential. Our discussion of Elena's experiences in terms of Nepantlan principles of diversity, Affect, and spirit, as well as Affective accumulation and aesthetic consciousness, infuse an emotional and spiritual dimension to inquiry science- and responsive science-complementarity and revisit a call for soul-centered, socially-transformative science.
