5/7 Draft Questions - Carter Rowell
1. In "Missed Connections," the author discusses how Internet searches for Latinas and Asian women yield results that "focus on porn, dating, and fetishization" (Noble 40). How do these problematic search results contribute to the idea of social death that we discussed earlier in the class?
2. In "How Did Social Media Unite DREAMers?" we are reminded that social media can be very beneficial by providing "a space for individuals to come out and speak about issues with others who felt similarly" (Basma 3). How can society make sure that these sorts of benefits of social media do not get overwhelmed by the drawbacks such as those discussed in "Missed Connections"?
3. In "Afrofuturism/Chicanafuturism," Ramirez explains that "science fiction is just as well suited for Chicanas and Chicanos" as it is for anyone else (Ramirez 190). How does the relationship that science fiction have with the past and the future contribute to remedies and resilience practices?
4. In "Deus ex Machina," Ramirez discusses how societal stereotypes "primitivize Hispanas and exclude them for the domain of science" (Ramirez 76). Why is it important for everyone to be involved in the technology making process? What impacts can technology have on people who are not involved in the process?
