It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power. There is a word, an Igbo word, that I think about whenever I think about the power structures of the world, and it is nkali. It’s a noun that loosely translates to “to be greater than another.” Like our economic and political worlds, stories too are defined by the principle of nkali: How they are told, who tells them, when they’re told, how many stories are told, are really dependent on power. Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person.

Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.

When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.

ADICHIE, C. N. The Danger of a Single Story. New York: Anchor Books, 2019 (adapted).

According to the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), the approach to English as a Lingua Franca imposes challenges and new priorities for teaching, among which is the deepening of reflections on the relationships between language, identity and culture, and the development of intercultural competence. In order to follow the BNCC, which quote do you consider appropriate for the initial warm-up to introduce Adichie’s text and why?

Alternativa A:
“Take no one’s word for anything, including mine — but trust your experience. Know whence you came. If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go.” (James Baldwin). Because there are social limits to where people can go.
Alternativa B:
“Language is not a neutral medium that easily and freely becomes the intentional property of the speaker: on the contrary, it is inhabited and overpopulated by other people’s intentions.” (Mikhail Bakthin). Because language does not depend on people’s intentions.
Alternativa C:
“To liquidate peoples, we begin by taking away their memory. We destroy their books, their culture, their history. And someone else writes other books for them, gives them another culture and invents another history for them.” (Milan Kundera). Because it is through history that identities are preserved.
Alternativa D:
“A fully unified, complete, secure, and coherent identity is a fantasy. Instead, as systems of cultural meaning and representation multiply, we are confronted by a bewildering and shifting multiplicity of possible identities, each of which we could identify with at least temporarily.” (Stuart Hall). Because systems of cultural meaning and representations are limited.
