Thursday Draft Questions - Clarissa
1) In Deus ex Machina, Catherine Ramirez writes, "...if science and technology have been radicalized white, and if they are also associated with the future, the the future does not include people of color" (p. 80). Why do you think our white supremacist nation continues this erasure of people of color from our future?
2) In Afrofuturism/Chicanafuturism, Catherine Ramirez writes, "Chicanafuturist works disrupt age-old racist and sexist binaries that exclude Chicanas and Chicanos from visions of the future" (p. 189). What other works have we seen this quarter that disrupt racist and sexist binaries?
3) Safiya Umoja Noble argues that search engines are missing "awareness about stereotypes, inequity, and identity" in her article "Missed Connections" (p. 38). Why to search engines continue to use sexist stereotypes when one searches "black girls" and "Latinas" on a search engine?
4) The majority of the writings for this assignment have discussed technology and science-fiction. How do these subjects relate to Chicanas and our course title, "Feminism in the Borderlands"?
