Thursday Draft Questions
1. When reading "Missed Connections," I resonated with the assertion that "what's missing in the the search engine is awareness about stereotypes, inequity, and identity (38)." Im cures to know if you have ever used google and been surprised by results that came up about "women's identities or interests"?
2. When reading "Monstrous Children of Pregnant Androids," I felt slightly confused by the use of the term monstrous, specifically when Cardenas writes "I also seek to claim monstrous, in order to reject nationalist, cis-heteronormative logics of a humanity that ignores the ongoing murders of Latinx people and to reimagine solidarity through new algorithms for kinship."Can anyone offer further insight into this statement and into the use of the word monstrous?
3. In reading Ramirez' "Afrofuturism/Chicanafuturism," I found myself wondering if the reading and creation of science fiction novels that reflect imagined futures for people of color, has a healing or powering effect on the readers an or authors of such creative works? Im especially curious about this since we started off the quarter talking about the healing nature of art for minority populations as they strive for a more humane society.
4. In "Deus ex Machina,"I found both the Santos of Alma Lopez and Martinez to be striking both in the art itself and in the layers of meaning attached to them. In reading that Lopez's work was more controversial and thus given more attention I was curious to know why that might have been. Can anyone offer possible explanations?
