MPI - Modes of Expression

Modes of Expression

Identities are asserted through a wide range of media, including radio, television, literature, cinema, music videos, Internet and other digital technologies, and draw from a vast range of domestic, regional, and transnational cultural sources. "Performing" identity can occur not only on a stage or in a film, but also in the process of writing, playing, and other forms of social interaction.
