Just a couple of notes here. If you treat identity as mathematical identity, i.e. A is A (where "is" is 3 horizontal lines), then it doesn't diverge in the same way, i.e. it places the person-x as a core. I played with substituting "body" for identity, i.e. physical body, my body for example or the body "of" a refugee; this grounds the discussion oddly, but perhaps keeps one aware that, even if someone begging is using a card receiver, there is still that the body of someone, that we never forget the body. For me as an 'Amerikkkan' (forgive the pun) this touches on issues of bodies, people, killed by the police (who get off, as you know yet another case of that yesterday)...
There have been numerous 'tests' in the states, a black and a white applying for jobs, going into hotels, etc. etc., as you speak about, and you already unfortunately know the results...
Best!, Alan, and thank you for the notes; they're fascinating _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
