Assignment for Thursday, Nov. 30

Let's build on the work we've done, and deepen our reading of Haraway. 

Read the essay again, and really work in it, don't just let the words go by.   Use Google and Wikipedia.  Make it a project, not just a reading.

In particular, track a phrase that she uses a number of times:  "women of color."  That phrase ends up signifying something important to her point.  Your job is to figure out what it is.  Come to class able to explain what she's doing with it.  This will also be related to our final assignment, so the more you work on it now, the more you'll be helped later.

I am also thinking about false consciousness, which I did not explain well.  (But I think that there are accessible analogues.) We will talk more about these things. I'm thinking about a syllabus.  Would you believe that it has been done, all this time?  It has.  I'm just insecure about it. For Monday, 201-244 in Feminism in Our Time.   Good, close reading, so we could have a discussion as good as Thursday's. You will notice that one of the readings is by the very famous write Kate Millet.  She just died this week.  Here's a link about her that David sent me:  HERE . And here's a link I caught, as I soaked in the interwebs: HERE .  (Where are those links you were going to send me, about the variety of forms of relationships???)
