That’s a good catch about questioning whether or not someone may realize that they are taking part in performance; I guess it can be compared to Tactics from the first presentation where people are making cultural […]

At the closing section of About a Mountain we are informed by D’Agata himself that some of the details of the narrative were compressed “for dramatic effect only.” This can seem jarring to readers who have placed […]

The word “queer” holds a mostly negative connotation these days; it means weird, strange, things that are disturbingly different. Historically, it’s been used as a pejorative term for homosexuals. To be queer is […]

Do you see empathy as a way of bypassing these hierarchies? Being able to place yourselves in another’s shoes in order to fully understand their position in life is no easy task but it can allow you to see things […]

If you pay attention you can see the power struggles that Certeau discussed taking place every day. On a regular basis I find myself sucked into the war against the establishment at my job, both tactically and […]

One of the advantages of the ethnographical practices used by the Center was publishing their findings in the form of novels, or in Didion’s case essays. which Moran asserted gave them a large amount of freedom in […]

Lying takes on a whole new level when we take her philosophy, or at least the ones she mentions in the narrative, into account. This was a very good point to bring up that we haven’t discussed in class and your […]

The ethics of it are important but it’s such a gray area that I think I’ll be stuck with the answer of “yes, it’s unethical BUT…” for a long time. She took some creative license with it which is fair game as an […]

I’ve been dwelling a lot on our conversations on the importance (or lack thereof) of Slaters’ diagnosis of epilepsy. By now I think we can mostly agree that whatever shred of epilepsy was in her life has been […]

While researching the film I found out it had a subtitle at some point: ” A Meditation on the Possibility of Romantic Love in the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation.” Sort of changes the whole […]

I wouldn’t argue that audio is a viable replacement for text, and here are two pieces of anecdotal evidence, take them how you will:

Looking at Sarah Koenig not just as a creative nonfiction writer but as a journalist by trade, I’m not sure just how much she allowed herself (or was allowed by her producers) to put in too much emotional guidance […]

One of the most important aspects of a piece of writing is, time and time again, the author’s voice. When reading a piece of writing, the presence of the author’s voice depends on factors such as the level of […]
