Thursday (05.07) draft Questions- Khani Priest

1. Social media played an important role in the passing of the DREAM act in 2010. With this in mind, how is social media used in political agendas? Can social media be potentially damaging? 
2. The statement in "Monstrous Children of Pregnant Androids" by micha cárdenas was very profound and should be dissected further, "... kinship is a technology; it can be hacked." (p. 29). Considering the definition of technology we learned this week, how does kinship fit into this definition? Why is this such a difficult concept to understand?
3. Why are women of color so closely and commonly associated with pornography and sexual themes?
4. Chicanafuturism seems to focus on the technological aspects of the "New World" vs. the "Old World" and how Chicanas/o have adapted and embraced such changes. The artwork of Marion C. Martinez is one example of embrace in this topic. Martinez also includes the Catholic religion in her artwork. What affect does the integration of religion have on Chicanafuturism?
