"Teen Views of Sex:" Inter-Animation of Dialogues in a Radio Feature Story Produced by Mexican Immigrant Youth
Walker, Dana
Dialogic Pedagogy, v6 pA39-A59 2018
This paper proposes an analysis of dialogical processes in the creation of a radio feature story titled "Teen Views of Sex," co-produced by Mexican immigrant high school students in the context of a Youth Radio and Radio Arts program. After describing the socio-cultural and curricular context of the program, I apply Zittoun and Grossen's (2013) semiotic approach to dialogicality to describe the kinds of dialogue that took place during the interviews and subsequent reflections upon the feature story and production process. The types of dialogue examined include: actual dialogue, distant dialogue, auto-dialogue, dialogue between situations, and dialogue with material objects, or non-human actants. I explore how the inter-animation of these forms of dialogue gave rise to dialogic tensions, which may have created openings for shifts in identity positioning and an enhanced sense of agency for the youth in their personal and public lives.
