Further Research and Fun

Good Morning Crew!

I just read an interesting essay which brought up a very valid point : "it may not be that useful to speak of hybridity in general. What might be more helpful is thinking about different hybridities –- a set of differentiated sub-categories: 1) racial, 2) linguistic, 3) literary, 4) cultural, and 5) religious".

This link is where I found the paper:

So I'm thinking a minor revision for our presentation.... In the "Body" what if we discuss these hybridities as mentioned above. The characters and setting will all fall into one category or another. This way, even according to our textbook which explains hybridity in a similar way, we'll be covering all the bases of 'hybridity'. 

The above link also discusses the literary hybridity of Wide Sargasso Sea... which is amazing because we can even tie the novella itself in as being of hybrid form. 

Opinions? 

(I don't know why but I can't unbold anything after the link... hence the bolded post. Sorry :-) )
