In this blog post I am going to explain the relationship between our discourse community values, the article What is Literacy? By James Paul Gee and the poem We Are Many by Pablo Neruda. The genre I am going to use for my interpretation is the traditional analysis essay where I am going to talk about how I think all three texts are connected in some way.
In our discourse community we share the same goals and values. These values are located on Professor Mangini's website where we can all view them. For an example of what makes our discourse community we all have our own websites and blog posts. Each of us has created our own website to create content on, where we all get the same prompt and are able to share our work with each other. We also meet in the same classroom at the same time and receive the same emails which is how we intercommunicate in our discourse. Without these concepts our discourse community would not be distinctive. In the poem We Are Many by Pablo Neruda I believe he is saying that each person has multiple people in them because of the different discourse communities they are apart of. For every discourse community they are apart of, they become a new person. Just how each of us in our class are one person there then we leave and all go to a different discourse community where we become someone else. We have different goals, talk about different topics and communicate in different ways than the other discourse communities we may be involved in. This is what makes every discourse community unique in their own way. In the article What is Literacy? James Paul Gee explained how literacy is quite similar to discourse communities. He talked about how there are various types of literacy just how there are discourse communities. I liked how James Paul Gee said “ individuals give body to a discourse everytime they act or speak, thus they carry it and ultimately change it through time” I found this fascinating because we don't really pay attention to the different types of discourses we are actually involved in and how people in the same discourse community are also apart of so many more. We all have knowledge on different discourses that could be shared within the same one and that, that knowledge being shared could have impact on that discourse community.
