18 february 2010 : representin' + reconoiterin'

today in class, students took photographs as representations of key ideas around identity, hybridity, nationality, patriarchy, feminism, and the other. while they were in the field, patrick hypothesized an ordering system for material + media worlds for consideration. students listed their projects as follows:

serena = 1920s sheet music
sam = flycatcher
sarah = textile mill
kaytee = jeep
erin = star trek lunch box
claire = house
melanie = blackberry
micah = pocket knife
suzanne = china pattern setting
annie = 1928 salem college yearbook

emmanuel + michelle are making decisions this weekend.



following a captioning and positioning exercise for their photographs, we discussed patrick's organizational scheme. after that, we talked about structure of the three prown/haltman essays.
