Document Summary
The chicana canvas represents an unmarked woman"s body that underwent a permanent transformation with a new tattoo as an aesthetic symbol of her social identity. Becomes an active means of self-affirmation that can express oppositions to barriers imposed by class, gender, race, and sexuality. They seek to affirm their individual cultural characters as part of a larger set of collective identities. Linguistic anthropology, ethnobiology, and eco-linguistics have engaged with the issue of whether animals named differently in different languages and discourses are perceived differently by the speakers of those languages. Contrastive studies have revealed the interconnections between people"s direct experience of animals and the linguistic resources available for naming them. Butterflies and moths are classified among tzeltal indians. Adults species are not afforded the kind of classificatory. Unlike their adult counterparts, some larvae are edible, others attack crops, and others acquire painful defensive ornamentation.
