‘I blamed this all on moving to Texas’: Fostering Sense of Place through Locative Literature among US Latina Girls

Publication . Straubhaar, Joseph; Nisi, Valentina; Silva, Claudia Cristina da

This study explores how US Latina girls, in Central Texas, may develop a stronger sense of place and belonging through the grasping and crafting of locative literature. This work presents the results of a field study, in which training about locative narratives and locative media was provided during two different occasions. Firstly, a four-day workshop was conducted within the context of a summer camp with girls organized by a non-profit organization called Latinitas, based in Austin, Texas, USA. Secondly, the training was pro vided within the context of an after-school program, in a middle school, given also by Latinitas, to girls age ranging from 11 to 13, during five lessons spanning over five weeks. We found that the process of creating narratives rooted in the concept of place helped the participants to reflect on the location where they live, their locality, and their identity.
