The main questions in frames are Who are you to the person you are conversing with? and Who is the person to you? Frames determine who you are to each other in group contexts, such as social circles and night games. Every reaction has an impact on the interaction's story or deeper significance. The interaction's tone is established by them. However, every reaction also shapes how the receiver is perceived by others; your acts will shape how the receiver sees you."

que éste era un país donde un hombre manda la parada por el hecho de venir del norte; que para la mitad de sus huéspedes, pomposos y arribistas, estar en el hotel era de alguna manera estar en el extranjero. Así era: una habitación en el hotel de la familia Guterman era, para la mayoría de aquellos criollos pretenciosos, la única oportunidad de ver el mundo, el único papel de importancia que podían tener en su minúscula obrita de teatro.

If the immutable character of sex is contested, perhaps this construct called 'sex' is as culturally constructed as gender; indeed, perhaps it was always already gender, with the consequence that the distinction between sex and gender turns out to be no distinction at all.
~ Judith Butler

This formulation moves the conception of gender off the ground of a substantial model of identity to one that requires a conception of gender as a constituted social temporality.
~ Judith Butler
Social neuroscientists now believe that the need to belong trumps the need for safety.
