    1. Aunque Brysk (2013) se pregunta si las redes sociales puedenser utilizadas como una herramienta performativa (o como unamáscara) para reclamar derechos –ya que estas pueden generaruna respuesta emocional, aun cuando ese momento de cuidadopuede evaporarse rápidamente sin tener un efecto duradero–,propongo que la performance de ser persona –en su carácter de más-cara que permite reclamar derechos– no es el único acto de hablaa través del cual afirmar la propia humanidad.

      Debemos considerar tanto las limitaciones como las posibilidades de las redes sociales en la afirmación de nuestra humanidad. No debemos depender únicamente de la “performance” en línea; hay múltiples formas de expresar nuestra existencia y lucha. La afirmación clave. La “performance de ser persona” se refiere a cómo nos presentamos en línea para reclamar derechos y reconocimiento. Sin embargo, hay otros actos de habla que también afirman nuestra humanidad, como la resistencia, la solidaridad y la narración de experiencias. Brysk plantea una pregunta interesante. Las redes sociales pueden ser una plataforma para expresar nuestras identidades y luchas, pero también pueden convertirse en una “máscara” detrás de la cual ocultamos nuestra verdadera realidad. Las redes sociales pueden generar respuestas emocionales inmediatas, pero estas pueden desvanecerse rápidamente. A veces, la atención momentánea no se traduce en cambios duraderos.

    2. El pensamiento occidental concibe,en general, lo humano a partir de la cualidad de ser persona, lo que enúltima instancia es una máscara social históricamente reservadapara hombres blancos propietarios.

      Nos invita a considerar cómo las categorías de “persona” y “humano” han sido moldeadas por estructuras sociales y prejuicios. Nos desafía a ampliar nuestra comprensión de la humanidad más allá de estas limitaciones históricas.

    1. Ai Ebihara is the kind of character that you expect to hate from the get-go, but her struggle surprisingly becomes one of the better links in the game. Ai is pretty and rich, and she knows it – something that makes her insufferable at the start. She is always stroking her own ego, keeping up appearances, and spends her time being generally self-centered. But it takes a form of rejection to show Ai is dealing with some heavy feelings, even suicidal thoughts. What I loved so much about Ai’s social link is that it’s unpredictable – a rollercoaster of uncertainty. Every time you think you know where you stand with the girl and make progress, you get slapped in the face with an unsettling event or revelation. The question the link poses: Is there a redeeming quality about her? Can a kind soul be all it takes to save someone? Watching it all unfold is beautiful.  

      "The question the link poses: Is there a redeeming quality about [Ai Ebihara]? Can a kind soul be all it takes to save someone?"

      This is a beautiful write-up of the Ai Ebihara social link in Persona 4. I would be curious what the author thinks the answers are to the two questions presented. In my view, Ai's redeeming quality -- that is the quality she uses to redeem her character in the end -- is the same quality that drove her unpleasant personality early in the arc -- introspection. The player "saves" Ai by giving Ai the courage to save herself. Part of the beauty of the link is that the rest is for Ai to figure out as she goes forward.

    1. A digital identity is made up of the sum total of digital traces relating to an individual or a community

      I tend to think of my digital identities (plural) as something closer to personae - the personalities I wish to expose or highlight or preserve on particular platforms or with particular groups. Interesting challenge to think about the integrative, single identity.

    1. It took only a couple decades for the internet to transform from a weird underground hobby to an entirely new medium for the self. One of the earliest draws of internet society was the invitation to become someone else — to obscure the dull strains of your real life behind a veil of mysterious text or behind an avatar, the image or persona you create to represent you online. In those days, it often seemed like people had collectively assented to participate in some degree of fiction about one another. The person on your forum or in your channel who loved to say inflammatory things was just some troll; you could even assume that he wasn’t like that in real life. That these were only mechanisms specific to the character he lived as online.

      May be useful as comparison.

    1. Willard was a dynamic platform speaker, not flamboyant but utterly sincere and able to convince her hear· crs that she cared deeply about them even when the audience was large

      I think we see here how she was thoughtful and successful in creating her public persona, just as Douglass was.
