Embodiment and (Dis)embodiment
Provide a critical reaction to the texts exploring the juncture at which communication media technologies and the notion of embodiment and (Dis)embodiment intersect. Each of the texts addresses the issue of embodiment in the age of digital mediation with a different perspective in mind and in relation to different venues. You may choose to focus your discussion on one of these venues as long as you provide direct references to all of the texts. You may also address the videos that were linked via this module. Your discussion should integrate the different arguments made in the essays into your own take on the subject. Make sure to provide your own perspective and to develop your own voice as a writer. There are no definitive answers to the questions raised by the authors. The critique that you offer should join the conversation.
The first part of the paper should demonstrate your ability to analyze and correlate the arguments presented by the authors of the assigned reading for the week, as well as the videos/film. The second part of the paper should demonstrate your ability to apply these arguments toward the discussion of media technologies while stating your position.
Papers will be evaluated according to the extent to which they reflect thorough research, clarity of thought, and adherence to the principles of effective writing.
Give your paper an original title that represents your position on the subject. Make sure to include a reference page listing all texts including the videos.
