#12 PLAYFULNESS & LOVING PERCEPTION: Maria Lugones' Concept of World-Traveling

This is the fifth lecture for the 2024 Fall session of English 1110 for The Ohio State University, taught by PhD Candidate Peyton Del Toro. Today, we’re talking about Maria Lugones’ “world-traveling” and how it connects with the ideas of Robin Wall Kimmerer and Gloria Anzaldúa. We’ll explore how shifting perspectives can reshape the way we think and write, much like Kimmerer’s lessons on reciprocity with the earth and Anzaldúa’s reflections on language and identity. It’s about expanding how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. By weaving together these thinkers, we examine how writing and thinking become transformative acts. Join us as we reflect on what it means to navigate and write from and for multiple worlds.
