  • In a 1991 keynote address to the Modern Language Association titled "Arts of the Contact Zone", Mary Louise Pratt introduced the concept of "the contact zone." She articulated, "I use this term to refer to social spaces where cultures meet, clash and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they lived out in many parts of the world today". Pratt described a site for linguistic and cultural encounters, wherein power is negotiated and struggle occurs. Although when introduced this term was in the context of literacy and literary theories, the term has been appropriated to conversations across the humanities and has been used in the context of feminist theory, critical race theory, postcolonial theory and in discussions of teaching and pedagogy. The contact zone is similar to other concepts that address relationality and contiguity such as positionality, standpoint theory, perspectivism, intersectionality, and relationality. (en)
  • Em 1991 discurso para a Associação de línguas Modernas, intitulada "Arts of the Contact Zone" (Artes da Zona de Contato), Mary Louise Pratt , introduziu o conceito de "Contact Zone". Ela articulou: "Eu uso esse termo para me referir aos espaços sociais onde culturas se encontram, chocam e lutar uns com as outras, muitas vezes em contexto de relação de poder altamente assimétricas, tais como o colonialismo, a escravidão, ou seus resultados, como viviam em muitas partes do mundo hoje" (34). Pratt descreveu um site para encontros linguísticos e culturais, em que o poder é negociado e a luta ocorre. Embora, quando introduzido este termo foi no contexto da alfabetização e teorias literárias, o termo foi apropriado para conversas em ciências humanas, e tem sido usado no contexto da teoria feminista, teoria crítica da raça, a teoria pós-colonial e nas discussões do ensino e da pedagogia. The Contact Zone é semelhante à de outros conceitos que abordam a relacionalidade e contiguidade, tais como a posicionalidade, a teoria do ponto de vista, o perspectivismo, a intersecionalidade, e a relacionalidade (24).
