ABSTRACT
Utilizing “theories in the flesh” as a theoretical framework, the author challenges the reader to embrace the disorienting, fragmenting, and confusing space in/between performance and intercultural communication. By moving from the classroom and into Latina/o/x communication studies, the author names the intersectional exclusions and erasures that persists throughout academia and everyday life. Embracing theories in the flesh is a challenge to act and embody the borderlands between what is, was, and could be. Through personal narrative and performative writing, the author utilizes the intercultural communication classroom as an entry into the role of performance studies and intercultural communication.
