Document Summary

Gender is performative in the sense that it is practiced not only in personally expressed behaviours and tacit self-knowing, but through out our sociocultural worlds. Amplification and sustained impersonal separation- the ability to alienate objects in the transaction: complexes of shared cultural knowledges held strongly. The sense of belonging one feels toward a particular culture, based on upbringing l, residence, heritage, customs and language. A group of people who recognize lineal descent from a real or mythical ancestor-a criterion of membership. A celtic group especially in the scottish highlands comprised of a number of house holds who claim descent from a common ancestor- Descent group: when someone teaches you about their culture and you teach them about yours in return: mutual learning. Climate-displaced persons: identities and allegiances, which are changeable and relative to the cultural context of shifting global arrangements in which we find ourselves. Someone who has been forced to flee their country due to persecution, war or violence.
