| Abstract | "Middlesex" is a book about undiagnosed hermaphrodite coming to terms with his/her socially determined sexuality and his/her choice of sexuality. The protagonist and narrator of the novel, Calliope Stephanides, is raised as a girl because he/she presented feminine genitalia at birth. When Calliope realizes he/she is a hermaphrodite--a realization brought to light through a bicycle accident--Calliope chooses the male gender and calls himself "Cal." The novel mainly deals with Cal's coming of age, the socialization process of gender roles, and the separation hermaphrodites experience personally and socially. In this article, the author shares how teaching "Middlesex" has helped him realize that dialogic instruction and critical literacy could be mixed and expanded to help students develop a "critical dialogue" with the author of a text. He has previously perceived dialogic instruction and critical literacy as two separate ideologies sharing similar notions. (ERIC). |
