Requirement: Your original posting each week should…
o Answer the questions and mention key points from the week’s readings with page #s from the readings as reference
o Critically analyze the content – your posting should not be just a summary of the reading
o Be grammatically correct and proofread for spelling errors. It counts in the real world, so it counts here too.
o Respond to another student’s post by using their name and reiterating what they have said (not just “I agree!” or “great point” but a substantive response). Your response should be courteous as well. If you disagree, state why politely.
o Avoid responding to only one person in the class. Students tend not to like “cliques,” so get to know as many people as you can.
o Respond to students’ questions. Sometimes students will pose questions and the other student never answers. So, if someone asks you a question, answer them!
Instruction:
The hooks reading Actions (on which this discussion post is based) is one of my favorite readings, and like the Radway reading from last week, it is considered a “classic” in Communication and Cultural Studies.
To gain points for this discussion (and again, see the requirements above how to earn the most points) answer the following questions:
1) bell hooks (who does not capitalize her name because she wants to remain outside the patriarchal system) is quite outspoken. Here, describe the conversation she heard while walking on the Yale college campus behind a group of men.
2) It’s now necessary to define what hooks means by the “Other” (it’s a common expression in communication circles, but hooks engages with this concept the most closely and the best). Be clear and use quotes (this is true for all discussion posts this quarter). WHO is the Other? WHERE do you encounter the Other?
3) Then, watch the scene, from Road Trip (2000), a movie about a group of young men who take a road trip to try to “beat” the mail system, because one of them mistakenly sent a sex tape he made with another woman to his girlfriend (and they have to get it out of her mailbox before she sees it). In other words, it’s a charming love story. When you’re done, you need to be able to answer just WHY it is a good instantiation (example) of what hooks is calling “Consuming the Other.” So, you need to be citing hooks here as well as putting this into your own words.
The scene begins when the group of young men (all white) somehow are accepted by an all-black fraternity to spend the night.
4) OK great. Now you must start to weave it all together by answering just WHY hooks thinks we depict the Other so often in our society. How does that relate to the notion of ‘imperialist nostalgia’ and ‘cultural appropriation’? Make sure you define the terms as well as synthesize them (show how they all relate).
