5/7 Draft Q's

1. In Deus ex Machina, the author writes that outsiders to New Mexico describe Hispano communities as an "encapsulation of an agrarian, preindustrial, premodern society" (62). How does the idea of real and geographic isolation play into how this stereotype began and is perpetuated?

2. How is the artwork displayed in Deus ex Machina a representation of Chicanxfuturism?

3. In Afrofuturism/Chicanafuturism, Ramirez writes that  "Chicanafuturust works disrupt age-old racist and sexist binaries that exclude Chicanas and Chicanos from visions of the future" (189). What does she mean by this? How this demonstrated in the works of artists in Deus ex Machina and other readings we've seen?

4. What is the significance of articles like Missed Connections: What Search Engines Say About Women?
