The Bilingual Soul
A new anthology exploring the dual soul of bilingualism/biculturalism
|
Explore your bilingual/bicultural dual identity!
Are you bilingual and/or bicultural? Have you ever felt that you have two entirely different personalities, one in one language or culture, and one in the other? Maybe you are animated and a little crazy in one language, pensive and introspective in another, perhaps even businesslike in a third. You may find that you have different relationships with the people around you or a different body language depending on the language you're using. You may change from one to the other consciously or unconsciously; your two languages or cultures may be blended together or they may be clearly separate. Perhaps you even feel like you have two different souls, each rooted in a different language or culture. The editors of a new anthology, The Bilingual Soul, are seeking essays on this "split personality" that we feel when we move between one language or culture and another.
If you have experienced this sense of a dual personality or dual soul related to being bilingual and/or bicultural, and would like to explore this issue more in a personal essay, please contact Ruth Kunstadter at ruth@chispaproductions.com.
Submissions of 1,000-10,000 words are now being accepted.
