Lecture 14(Finishing last lecture)Bailey Cont.I. MiscommunicationThis is a central Feature of AA-K service encountersWhen both communicators..Think they know what the other communicator is saying/doing (misunderstanding)They think they know the other communicator’s motivesKeep communicating as if they had a correct understanding of the other person’s meaning and motivesIn reality, their interpretations of meanings and motives don’t match— “lines get crossed”Gives rise to interpersonal and intergroup tensionsII. Miscommunication from three perspectives Failure in all three contingencies:Single: failure to send messages that would make AAs “more restrained” or Ks “more respectful”Double: single + failure to match ethnic interactional styles, to conduct a satisfying service encounter, to save faceTriple: single + double + failure to reconcile ethnic differences/overcome interethnic tensionIII. ID politics Identity politics: who gets to claim what kind of identity how, and at what cost?In Bailey: who can claim a valued ethnic ID? highlights how the macro and the micro are in a mutually constitutive relationshipInteraction is shaped by and shapes large-scale social relationshipsCovarrubiasImportant concepts Personal address term/formI. Personal address“Symbolic pointing, in whatever its form, is forceful. It achieves something. It is transformative, Enactments of personal address affect profoundly and lastingly both utterer and receiver even when one remains unaware”—(Covarrubias, 2002, p. xv) Pointing= placing people into categories and treating them as members of those categories Personal address as a feature of social interactionWe constantly categorize people because that’s our way of knowing, understanding and relating to themII. Personal address social relationsProf. Boromisza-Habashi (distance, hierarchy—respect)Dr. David (less distance, less hierarchy—friendliness, respect)David (less distance, less hierarchy—friendliness, respect)Hey (there) (no distance, no hierarchy—no respect)Tanár un (“Mr. Teacher”) (you are Hungarian/ did too much research/are too eager) “Meet a Black Person”Some personal address terms (like “black”) are laden with historical “baggage” and cause social tension when used to identify peopleMABP exploits tension for humorous effect Covarrubias: Personal address terms are…Culturally specific (different cultures, different vocabularies of address forms)Deeply significant (they invoke local social systems and locate individual persons in those systems)Able to give or rob individual person of their sense of self/identityInfused with feeling (e.g., terms of endearment vs. racial slurs)Infused with personal history (e.g., name’s loved one’s make up)III.
