La #Alteridad - #Othering en #OpenStreetMap.

Did you know that when you contribute to OpenStreetMap, you are developing an activity of othering, especially when you contribute to projects such as humanitarian projects.

Othering is the recognition and understanding of the other as different from oneself, with its own identity, perspectives and values, emphasizing the importance of diversity and respect for otherness.

Anyone else concerned we may be facing a re-do [(or continuation(!!))] of " Aktion T4 " these days?

PS, "Aktion T4" was a nazi germany eugenics program to cull the disabled.

... Strikingly uncanny how similar that is to the past 17 years in the UK.

It really winds me up when a statement is made about "Americans" or "Brits" which equally applies to anyone regardless of nationality.

Why not use "people"?

I understand why [some] politicians use it as it rams home the group(s) they represent but when corporations or news outlets use it, it just feels like needless "othering" of people and suggests you don't care about them.

Decolonising our Minds – Didrevesiga agan Brysyow

A Reply to One
of Krann’s Six Ideas

Krann raises fair points when they argue that colonial metaphors used to make sense of the Cornish experience in relation to the British state appear “anecdotal” and tend to rest on “overused narratives about Tudor rebellions and the industrial revolution”. My answer is: let’s all move onto post-colonial ways of thinking.

Krann raises fair points when they argue that colonial metaphors used to make sense of the Cornish experience in relation to the British state appear “anecdotal” and tend to rest on “overused narratives about Tudor rebellions and the industrial revolution”.

Such is the power of the grand narrative that is underpinning conventional English history for our detractors that they frequently become the source of amusement and derision. It’s easy to see why. They point to a past of little relevance to most people’s lives in the 21st century. The fragments that survive tend to be romanticised and commodified by people for different reasons. The power of the state-influenced national curriculum and intellectuals in academia, sustained by universities, ensured that meaningful study of Cornish history was always marginalised. Little wonder then that those who challenge the dominant narratives about Kernow find themselves, often as not, “howling into the wind”

Most people’s understanding of colonialism will come from the push against the last three centuries of empire building by Western European states, but my answer to Krann’s challenge is: let’s all move onto post-colonial ways of thinking. 

Kernow was colonised a long time ago. We forgot and then remembered. Like any attempt at recovering actual events, memories will be scarce, imperfect, even incorrect. Nevertheless, the sense of something not quite right about what those in power care to tell us about ourselves persists. 

Meanwhile, as a people we tend to be ‘othered’ and literally patronised. So let’s insist on our existence, insist on being more than mere background characters to a romantic fantasy and take control of our own stories. How? By recognising the role language has to play in the scheme of things. Tell our own stories to each other and to others with similar experiences. Challenge the popular Anglicised imagery created of the people at every turn. The English language has a subtle and powerful grip on how we see the world and re-framing conversations with ourselves and others is an important step. 

I suspect from Krann’s complaint that they haven’t seen the colonialism arguments translate into efforts to meet with Indigenous intellectuals is simply because of the tendency, as Anglophones living on an island, we tend not to seek out other people with experiences closer to our own. We may gain little traction in Wales and Scotland and meet with indifference from first nation peoples in Canada, for example, but their experiences of English colonialism and hegemony are different to ours. The former may see our recovered history as somehow faux and the later, rightly, see us as part of the colonial enterprise they struggle against.

On the other hand, move outside the world dominated by Anglophone/English state-controlled narratives and a different perspective comes into view. Speak to people from Breizh (Brittany), Euskal Herria (Basque Country) and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), for example, and we find experiences and understanding that can lead to decolonising place and mind. 

We have recovered and sustain our language with virtually no help whatsoever from the state; we are in the process of doing the same for our history and are beginning to reassert our identity. However, we have a lot to offer and a lot to gain by maintaining an internationalist perspective. Which brings me to the first of Krann’s ideas in their article: linking up with like-minded people from Breizh is a great start.

@maggiejk #Othering. The last resort of the fascist tendancy, their hangers on / fellow travellers , the propagandised and the stoopids. Jeez, I've had a tough day. See post #offload #status

Exakt auf der Ebene des #Othering ist die Verbindung zum #Rassismus gegeben.

Das das #Menschenbild im #SGBII darauf basiert, dass individuelle Menschen via Gesetzgebung zur Projektionsflaeche für soziale Ressentiments werden und daher erst in #Sanktionen gedacht werden kann, denn die Fremdzuschreibung wird behandelt als wäre sie ein Faktum, handelt es sich auch beim #Buergergeld um #Klassismus als Haltung.

Darüber sollte in einer ernst zu nehmenden #Debattenkultur gesprochen werden!

Wenn also weder im #Journalismus noch in der politischen Debatte begriffen wird, warum das #Buergergeld / #SGBII nichts mit einer angeblichen "Hängematte" oder einem "Nichtstun" zu tun hat & zugleich die #Agenda2010 massiv den #Rassismus in Deutschland verstärkt hat, muss man zuerst begreifen, dass es sich bei dem Status #Armut um das Zusammenspiel komplizierter Zusammenhänge handelt & dem gegenüber eine Fremdzeichnung des Armutsbetroffenen auf der Ebene des #Othering diese Komplexitaet leugnet

"70,000 American refugees: Made in USA"

Truman B. Douglass was instrumental in creating the United Church of Christ in 1957. He was prescient in describing US social problems, and what we can do about them.

His 1943 article about the forcible relocation of Japanese-Americans is still relevant today.

But what is happening in the poor [white] woman, the poor [white] man’s mind is this: they’ve been raised to believe, and by now they helplessly believe, that no matter how terrible their lives may be, and their lives have been quite terrible, and no matter how far they fall, no matter what disaster overtakes them, they…

Everybody has the innate tendency to revert to #othering

All it takes is for a person to lose their grounding, lose their sense of security, lose their sense of belonging, to feel left behind.

Present such people with an easy to identify scapegoat and they will cling to it like a life raft.

We need to understand that issues such as #racism, #misogyny, #homophobia, #xenophobia, #transphobia are not the cause of the malaise. They're symptoms.

Treat the disease. The symptoms will follow.

A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon:

«
Justice requires us to remember that when any citizen denies his fellow, saying, “His color is not mine,” or “His beliefs are strange and different,” in that moment he betrays America, though his forebears created this Nation.
