|a The overall goals of this thesis-project are three-fold: 1) to decode and interpret the act of fighting among Boyle Heights youth (which I call cariño-fighting) so that the stories, salvific themes, and concerns hidden in these actions may be communicated and tended to, 2) to develop a narrative methodology that facilitates the first goal, and 3) to utilize this methodology to open up the act of cariño-fighting by, first, identifying the fragmented narratives within the act, second, by generating a dialogue between these narratives and the narratives within culture, local realities, and the faith community, and, third, by proposing a new praxis based on giving voice to the fragmented narratives and initiating new transformative narratives for the youth and the faith community. Anecdotal information was gathered in 2009 and surveys completed in 2012, involving over ninety young people in Boyle Heights. For these youth, fighting among friends (cariño-fighting) signified several key themes: somatic identity, relationality, play, honor, public life, and street life.
In developing these themes, this thesis-project placed them in dialogue with local street life, the Mexican culture of the community, and the popular religiosity of the faith community. Through a dialogue of narratives, the fragmented narratives in cariño- fighting are seen in a wider context and connectivity to the salvific nature of popular religion, which also possesses a somatic identity, relationality, play, and public life. Through such correlations, cariño-fighting becomes the source for a new transformative narrative that tends to the hidden and salvific life of youth in Boyle Heights. |
