Identidades

Todos tenemos, al menos, dos identidades. Una personal, y una o varias, sociales.

La personal es un conjunto de rasgos propios que nos definen y nos diferencian de todos los demás. Por otro lado, las identidades sociales, se definen en términos de grupos de pertenencia. Por ejemplo, familia, amigos, país, etnía, religión, aficiones, estatus social, etc. Cada una de estas identidades tiene normas, valores y roles.

¿Pero que pasaría si se anularan las identidades sociales de un día para otro y se trasplantara la propia identidad personal a otro entorno, con otros grupos, otras normas y por lo tanto nuevas y diferentes identidades sociales? La literatura y el cine coquetean desde siempre con este tema, imaginando y planteando historias de individuos que suplantan identidades, que fingen su muerte y renacen como otra persona, que huyen del pasado y se construyen una nueva identidad, con un nuevo nombre y una nueva existencia, por las razones más diversas. Estoy segura de que no soy la única a la que esta posibilidad ha cosquilleado más de una vez la curiosidad de saber como mi identidad personal se habría desarrollado en un entorno diferente. En parte he explorado esta posibilidad. De alguna manera ir a vivir a un país extranjero en el que nadie te conoce y por lo tanto en el que no estás definido/a por los vínculos acumulados hasta entonces ni la reputación delimitada por tus vivencias, y en el que adquieres un nuevo estilo de vida, un nuevo idioma, una nueva manera de pensar, unos nuevos hábitos y unas nuevas costumbres…..pues es lo más parecido a morir y volver a nacer o por lo menos a perder tus identidades sociales y volver a crearte a ti mismo/a a partir de la identidad personal. Como una hoja en blanco. Hay pocas experiencias en la vida más incómodas y a la vez más fascinantes que esta. Es muy raro: justamente allá donde no eres nadie para nadie, es donde puedes ser más tu mismo/a. Lejos de toda creencia impuesta, de toda norma, de toda identidad social. Pero dura poco: el ser humano, no prospera y no progresa sin rodearse de otros y sin establecer vínculos que antes o después acaban desembocando en nuevas identidades sociales.

Por lo que me atañe, en cada lugar en el que he vivido, en cada lugar al que he viajado, en cada vínculo con personas cada vez diferentes, en cada mueva sugestión sensorial, ha florecido una parte diferente de mi identidad personal, mezclándose de maneras siempre diferentes con mis muchas y nuevas identidades sociales. Incluso el hecho de hablar siete idiomas me provoca a menudo una sensación de leve disociación de la personalidad, porque una lengua no es solo un medio para la comunicación, sino también el espejo de una manera de pensar y de concebir el mundo que forja con palabras una identidad social.

El otro día vi una película que se llama Miss Osaka, dentro del Festival Atlántida, y hablaba de esto: huir de las identidades sociales para encontrar la propia identidad personal. A menudo nos sentimos confundidos/as y con la sensación de que nuestra identidad personal se desdibuja, aplastada por unas identidades sociales demasiado sofocantes. ¿Dónde está el límite entre identidad social e identidad personal?

La foto que publico aquí forma parte de un proyecto fotográfico personal de autorretrato terapéutico sobre la ansiedad, empezado hace años y aún in progress. Mirarme a través de mi tercer ojo, es decir el objetivo de mi cámara, me ayuda a definir mi identidad personal, tantas veces difuminada por las aplastantes identidades sociales.

Missiles and Meal Service: The Hidden Toll of Flying in War-zones

Common occupational hazards in aviation; the not so new flight deck stressors would encompass turbulence, delayed pushbacks, and that one passanger having an issue with someone reclining their seat (this is so very common, believe me). Let’s not forget another one who thinks the seatbelt sign doesn’t apply to them while on active runway (because they are just itching for a snack they left inside their carry-on luggage in the overhead bin. Opens bin, then bag falls off on them and everyone around. SMH)

Back to business. Pilots and cabin crew flying over the Middle East lately, especially in and out of Qatar, well, there’s a new, less subtle source of anxiety: missile attacks. Who doesn’t know the news by now?

Yes, flying into Doha these days might involve dodging airspace closures, U.S. airbase targets, and the occasional Iranian and Israeli news. Glamorous, right?

Very.

While passengers worry about delayed in-flight meals and Wi-Fi speeds being too slow or disconnecting , the crew up front and in the aisles are dealing with something much much heavier: the psychological toll of flying through a region where geopolitics are very unpredictable, stormy, and always just over the horizon.

What Happened in Qatar Exactly, you ask?

In resent years, we’ve witnessed sensitive airspaces and in response, airlines have shut down their airspaces. Flights being rerouted faster than a teenager dodging chores have become commonplace, and airline dispatchers around the world had one collective panic attack.

Now just imagine this. Inflight, flight crew are prepping beverage carts while air defence systems light up the radar. Boom-Chaka-Boom! Just another day in the skies.

Cabin Pressure: Flying with a Side of Adrenaline

Yes, crew (deck crew and cabin crew) are trained to handle demarcates, but war is not an average Emmergency! It’s one thing to worry about fuel efficiency. It’s another to fly over a region where missiles are a real-time hazard.

There is a huge difference between trusting an aircraft, the team, and trusting geopolitics.

Constant anticipatory anxiety.

Hypervigilance, even on layovers.

The unsettling knowledge that their aircraft might share airspace with defense drones, military jets, and… well, more missiles.

Hospitality Meets Hostility

Cabin crew, as you know, are the face of calm, smile and all. Even so, smiling while you serve fish, beef and a gluten free meal on a flight skimming a conflict zone? That’s dark art right there.

Results:

Crew becoming emotionally disconnected from their jobs.

Guilt when evacuating people while others are left behind. 2020 clears throat!

Luxury inflight service inside a pressure cooker floating mid air at 40,000 feet while those on ground are ducking. Definately dystopian!

More Fuel, More Detours, More Fatigue

Yep! Practical stress:

Flights being rerouted to avoid hot zones, adding hours to duty time.

Longer flight hours mean more fatigue, which affects both performance and emotional bandwidth.

There’s no glamour-AT ALL in a 15 hour turnaround because there is no clearance to land.

What Airlines Are Maybe doing

Critical Incident Stress Management teams.

Therapy appointments.

Pre and post dispatch briefings.

Even so, lots of crews feel out of the loop. Why you ask?Because, you get the news that you’re flying a risky zone when you’re already on it.

Hidden Costs: Forget Fuel and Insurance

Mental Health RiskWhat It Looks LikePTSD or traumaFlashbacks, fawning, sleep interruptions, avoidanceBurnoutEmotional numbness, lack of purposeAnxietyReccuring worry, overanalysing proceduresIsolationFeeling detached and lack of support on layovers or at home

These risks don’t show up on a flight log, but hey, they impact safety, morale, and retention. We talk about maintaining aircraft fatigue limits. What about crew fatigue limits?

Where Do We Go From Here?

How about a Flight Plan for Mental Health in Conflict Zones:

Transparent Security Briefings.

Weight & balance before takeoff is paramount, so is mental health balance.

Flight Debriefs After High-Stress Flights.

Better Global Oversight, meaning ICAO, IATA and other relevant bodies must update protocols for mental wellness involving high-risk routes.

Bottom line, pilots and cabin crew are indeed professionals for they train, adapt, and make sure to get the job done. But, they are people too and not robots. People who fly into the world’s most dangerous zones with nothing more than a safety manual and nerves of steel.

We owe them patience, understanding, protection and genuine support as they navigate war zones with grit and grace.

Fly safe. Check on your crew friends, and just maybe skip the missile jokes during boarding.

The poem above is an excerpt from "Mother Tongue" - originally published by Obra/Artifact. I was ecstatic to have this poem chosen for publication in Obra/Artifact's  Issue 5: April 2018 – Multilingual. The words in this poem mean so much to me, as they speak to being that third person, caught between two languages, two places, and two identities. Sometimes, these identities seamlessly fit - blending and bending together in harmony; other times, it seems like the pieces of me are at war; unyielding in their desire for me to bend to their will.  #writing #writersofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #poems #tamilpoet #tamilgirl #wordporn #mypoeticheart #poemsbymanivillie #torontopoet #torontopoetry #torontopoetssociety #mypoeticheart #poem_pic #poem #poetryislife #poetrycommunity #poetry #poet #tamil #tamilpoet #womanpoet #writer #torontopoets #canadianpoet #poetrymonth2018 #multilingual #immigrants #multipleidentities
