5/14 Draft Questions - Albert Lam
1. In "Cyphers: Hip-Hop and Improvisation", we learn that to cypher is to "rap, break beatbox tightly together in a circle where each person just might get a moment", to "borrow and to lend," and to collaborate, among other descriptions. Given this, compare and contrast this with convivencia.
2. From "Voicing Citizenship", we learn about Elvira Arellano and Flor Crisostomo, two women who "developed a strong online presence on Facebook and blogs to advocate for immigration reform and an end to mass deportations." What are some examples of large-scale social media social movements that you have seen? How does social media as a medium help and hurt the effectiveness of social movements?
3. In "Voicing Citizenship", we learn that Latin American testimonios have traditionally been mediated and translated by outside authors, but "modern Latina feminists in the US have self-authored their own forms of written testimonios" through the digital testimonio, an audio-visual storytelling method. How might this be more powerful? In the context of political and social movements, what is lost in translation?
4. In Ana Gabriel Cana's “Dale Con Todo Ecuatoriano”, she sports a red bandanna and does a similar fist pumping gesture that is reminiscent of Rosie the Riveter, the face of the "We Can Do It!" poster that sparked discussion on the strength of women. What is Cana's message in this reference? How does it relate to her mission as a feminist?
