But if you’re always a bridge, you run the risk of getting lost in the dichotomies, dualities, and contradictions you’re mediating. Çanakkale Bridge, Turkey.

We can be strategic and make the choice of how we are dealing with the alliances we’re building. Forte da Ponta da Bandeira, Lagos, Portugal.

At times, it is necessary to strategically retreat for a longer period. Yet, as Anzaldúa explains, “being an island cannot be a way of life; there are no lifelong islands because no one is totally self-sufficient. Each person depends on others for the food she eats, the clothes she wears, the books she reads.” By © Vyacheslav Argenberg / http://www.vascoplanet.com/, CC BY 4.0, Wikimedia Commons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68f649ffd873dc7e43f734de/f6e3e580-4683-44ae-9d2c-11d4389a8355/Banjo_in_dog_heaven_%28Victoria%29.jpg Updates - On Research-Creation “inside” and “outside” of academia: thinking about our metaphors – Part II - Lastly, the sandbar, or a submerged or partly exposed ridge of sand built by waves offshore from a beach, is an evolution that Anzaldúa proposes from the drawbridge. As she writes: “Being a sandbar means getting a breather from being a perpetual bridge without having to withdraw completely. The high and low tides of your life are factors which help you to decide whether or where you’re a sandbar today, tomorrow. It means that you’re functioning as a “bridge” (maybe partially underwater, invisible to others) and that you can somehow choose who you’ll allow to “see” your bridge, who you’ll allow to walk on your “bridge”—that is, who you’ll make connections with. A sandbar is more fluid and shifts locations, allowing for more mobility and more freedom.” By Tasha Corr - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons https://www.creativeencounters.ca/blog-2-2/on-research-creation-inside-and-outside-of-academia-thinking-about-our-metaphors-part-i monthly 0.5 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68f649ffd873dc7e43f734de/1a227b03-c276-45ea-a9f4-f087e1a5d725/g5.018va.jpg Updates - On Research-Creation “inside” and “outside” of academia: thinking about our metaphors – Part I - Make it stand out An hortus conclusus, or “enclosed garden,” depicting an ivory tower.
