Abstract

ABSTRACT Dwight Conquergood’s ethnographic performance studies research, much of which featured Latinx and Hmong cultures, influenced the Communication discipline. Analytically critiquing those Latinx and Hmong representations, we reinterpret them through our lived experiences. Via three separate vignettes of our culturally forefronted academic lives, we depict how Conquergood has reified and expanded the discursive constraints of our academic beings. Centering on three types of text (urtext, text, and context), we argue that our Hmong and Latinx cultures were and continue to be foundational to a humanistic and humane turn in the study of culture as embraced and advanced by Conquergood and ourselves.
