Plurinaming / Polyphony

The practice of multiple naming began in 2001 as a by-product of physical displacement, and as an adaptive game in negotiating foreign cultural/linguistic contexts. The name is acquired after a period of acquaintanceship with a “local”, and as a gift, cannot be refused or negotiated. Names are not an alias, but rather a compounding of the original name, as such they are notated as follows:
