READING: For Thursday's class, please read the Masello essay on Blackboard. Per my instructions in class, bring a print out of the essay, along with a scissor and a glue stick or tape.
WRITING: For your next three weekly blog posts, you will write an autobiography via the object-oriented (O-O), or "constellation" method (This is not a narrative, per se.). By this, I mean you will write in-depth about a particular object: describing in detail its materiality, jargon surrounding its discourse or use, and manners in which it connects to other objects in your life. As I mentioned in class, the "hammer section" of the Russell essay should provide you with a decent template. Each post should contain 300 words, 2 hyperlinks, and 1 image or video. For some great reading on constellations, check out Adorno's Negative Dialectics on Google-Books, or Benjamin's "On the Concept of History."
First O-O post DUE Wednesday, December 3rd @ midnight.
Second O-O post DUE Friday, December 5th @ midnight.
Third O-O post DUE Sunday, December 7th @ midnight.
As a reminder, your journals will be due on December 9th during class. If you are not present, or do not have your journal with you, there will be no extensions and no late-acceptances. Make sure you are present and ready to turn in your work. If, for some reason, you know you will not be in class, please turn in your journal early.
I will post WP3 guidelines within the next few days, so keep an eye out of your final assignment.
