(Un)Safe Liminal Spaces: Story Circles on the Texas/Mexico Border as Critical Dialogue

• In Event: Critical Communities as Praxis and Belonging

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to locate critical dialogue beyond the notion of a static curricular or pedagogical space for social justice and instead examine the “story circle as fluid forms of resistance which is particularly adept at “moving from … the modern to the postmodern, the global to the local, from the real to the hyperreal, to the liminal in-between spaces of culture, politics and pedagogy” (Denzin, 2010, p. 57).
