Defying the Meaning Line: Reading Brian Blount’s Presidential Address alongside Lxs Atravesadxs – Jacqueline M. Hidalgo

Abstract

Responding to Brian Blount’s call to reimagine biblical studies as border-crossing, this essay converses with Gloria Anzaldúa’s notions of lxs atravesadxs, the border-crossed. What happens when we start from the stories of the border-crossed and their struggles with and around meaning instead of focusing on meaning-making through the exegesis of biblical texts?

Key Words

scriptures, Anzaldúa, borderlands, border-crossing, border-crossed, borders
