The story map is rich with archival details, but I'm having a bit of trouble distinguishing your narrative from the primary and quoted sources. Might be more effective to have a consistent rule of your narrative being in regular paragraph form, and quotations from primary sources appearing in those flying boxes?

Estas alianzas entre grupos de diversa índole incluyeron desde la organizaciónde frentes partidistas comunes
Es interesante pensar en la energía política que debía existir para que sectores tan distintos se unieran. Esto nos recuerda que cuando hay un proyecto de país claro, las barreras de clase pueden borrarse.
inclusión tanto material como simbólica de los sectores popularesmarginados históricamente por las oligarquías.
Este punto es importante porque nos recuerda que hubo un tiempo donde la gente común sentía que el país les pertenecía. Pienso que esto explica por qué las dictaduras fueron tan violentas, no solo querían cambiar la economía, querían borrar ese sentimiento de pertenencia de la gente.
Elejemplo de la Revolución cubana y los intentos de réplicas que comenzaron asurgir en diversos Estados de la región provocaron una marcada polarizaciónpolítica, alentando a los grupos más reaccionarios a responder mediante gol-pes militares y el establecimiento de dictaduras militares
Me parece interesante cómo un evento en una isla pequeña cambió el destino de todo un continente. Es increíble pensar que el miedo fue el principal motor político de esa época, el miedo de las élites a perderlo todo frente a una revolución hizo que prefirieran entregarle el país a los militares.
las dictaduras militares fueron posibles gra-cias a la coalición entre gobiernos militares autoritarios de derecha y las his-tóricamente preeminentes élites terratenientes y oligárquicas
Lo que más me llama la atención aquí es la "alianza por conveniencia". A menudo creemos que los militares actúan por ideología pura, pero podemos ver que había un motor económico muy claro.
Estado burocrático autoritario.
En esta parte nos da un nombre técnico para las dictaduras de esa época. No eran solo militares dando órdenes, sino una estructura organizada (burocrática) y muy rígida (autoritaria) que se instaló en países como Argentina, Chile o Brasil para cambiar las reglas del juego por la fuerza.
la situación de estancamientoEconómico, ya perceptible en el primer brillo de los años setenta del siglo. xx,generó entre las élites locales y los altos mandos militares de estos países la ideade que era necesario implantar un cambio
Al final, tanto a los militares como a los empresarios y políticos de la época les quedó claro que el modelo viejo ya no daba para más, todos estaban de acuerdo en que había que cambiar la forma en la que hacían negocios.
En ese contexto de crisis
Es interesante notar cómo el cambio hacia el neoliberalismo no fue algo accidental, sino que se aprovechó un momento de crisis económica para justificar la llegada de dictaduras militares.
a industriatrialización fue un proyecto inconcluso aún en los Estados en donde se logróun mayor desarrollo, debido principalmente a la dependencia de los bienesde producción que se engendraban en los países capitalistas centrales
La lectura nos muestra que aunque países como México o Brasil intentaron fabricar sus propias cosas, había una trampa. Al final, nunca fuimos totalmente independientes, seguíamos atados a la tecnología y al dinero de los países más poderosos, lo que dejó nuestra industrialización a medias.
El derrumbe de la Unión So-viética y la crisis interna del modelo keynesiano y fordista provocaron tambiénel eclipse de la llamada época dorada del capitalismo.
Considero que en este momento se rompe el pacto de que se tenia y el sistema empieza a cambiar hacia algo más duro y menos protector.
capitalismo bordado
Entiendo que después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el mundo tenía tanto miedo a que se repitieran las crisis (como la de 1929) o a que el comunismo se volviera más atractivo para la gente pobre, que decidieron ponerle "riendas" (embridarlo).
omprender cómo seinterrelacionan Estados burocráticos autoritarios, transiciones democráticas yneoliberalismo en la región.
Es muy interesante cómo el texto nos invita a dejar de ver la economía (el neoliberalismo) y la política (la democracia) como cosas que van por caminos separados.

ConclusionThrough the blending of both the flâneuse's internal thoughts as well as her perceptions of the external world, Mirrlees constructs a multi-sensory experience that invites readers into her interiority, allowing them to engage with the poem, as she does with Paris: in a meaningful and embodied way.
Though clear and coherent, this conclusion feels like a bit of a let down after such subtle, perceptive, and engaging analysis. I think you might say how, after (or as an extension of ) collapsing the distinction between flaneuse and writer, the poem animates the reader in their combined role, inviting us to experience an autonomous, subjective, mutlisensory interiority, in which the self is not objectified nor objectifies others, but experiences its own power and permeability. In this way, the poem reminds me a bit of Walt Whitman's Song of Myself, which concludes by hailing the reader, saying: if you want me, look under your boot soles. We become Whitman, walking the streets of the newly formed American nation in his shoes.

very intriguing and perceptive distinction.
While digital media cannot materially reproduce scent, Mirrlees’s language enables readers to use their imagination, as the flâneuse does throughout the poem, in order to vicariously experience the sensation, thereby “becoming-with” the poem itself.

The audio effect is brilliant! I can hear the berkekekek!!
The one line mention devoted to each of these posters suggests that the flâneuse, through whom the poem is focalized, is noting these posters as she passes them. She does not stop to analyze them, rather they become an observation, briefly entering her consciousness, thus indicating movement.

This clause dangles in this location, attaching itself to the "female flaneuse". Better to begin with the scholars, writing something like:

It employs Brigg's scholarly notes, as well as many of the same images included in the digital edition, however, coupled with this new technology, the hope is to create an affective landscape that emulates the sensorial experience Mirrlees captures within the poem.

While the digital edition includes an option to view the contextualizing notes, as well as photos, it lacks a visual cohesive flow, thereby diminishing from the sensory experience so vividly rendered in the poem itself.
Here I think you can praise the digital edition a bit more, given our debt to it, and soften your criticism while still differentiating yourself, e.g.
The digital edition makes the poem accessible to the public, providing detailed annotations of the poem's many now obscure references, and even linking them to a set of related archival images. As rich as this context is, delving into it may distance readers from their immersion in the sensory experience of the poem. Building on the foundation their digital edition provides, this multimedia essay aims to recreate that sensory experience online.

I picked this source because it pushes back against the simple idea that going “offline” is automatically the solution to problems caused by social media. I thought that was interesting because it makes the issue feel more complicated and more realistic. Instead of treating the internet as something that is just bad and needs to be escaped, this source suggests that we should think more about how online spaces are designed and how they could be improved.

The Meyer Atlantic article about Facebook’s secret mood experiment seems truly disturbing from the perspective of this chapter. In 2012, the company modified the news feed of almost 700,000 users, exposing some to more positive stories while others to more negative stories. This study revealed that the exposure to either kind of news feed affected the extent to which individuals shared positive or negative sentiments. I think what makes this experiment even more disturbing is the paradox – the chapter explains how social media can contribute to the improvement of mental well-being; yet, in this case, the social networking site chose to make users feel bad without any user awareness and consent. When asked about the significance of the experiment's findings, the lead author mentioned the minimal effect in real-life contexts. However, as stated by one school of social work's dean, users who were emotionally vulnerable could become depressed or anxious due to the manipulation in news feed, and no one would ever know.

I've done a digital detox before and I always feel like I have much more time in life. I also tend to get a lot more sleep too. This is also reflected in the study talked about in this wiki page where 59% of users use phones before sleep and within 30 minutes of waking up. It's crazy how reliant people are on technology.

In this text, Sarah McQuate overall explains that UW researchers in their study found that social media users experience a state of spacing out when using social media. This is very harmful as it causes them to lose track of time and lose their overall self-control. One detail McQuate mentions is that in the study, 42% of the participants mentioned that they have used social media at least once, while not even paying attention to what they were watching or doing there.

This article talks about this girl named Maya's experience using Snapchat for an extended period of time. This led to the use of apps similar to facetune. Overtime she became more and more insecure of things she had originally never thought of. I think it is important to read articles and hear stories like this because it's happening to almost everyone online. You can have a lot of personal self confidence and still find yourself comparing to others.
So in this chapter, we will not consider internet-based social media as inherently toxic or beneficial for mental health. We will be looking for more nuance and where things go well, where they do not, and why.
I like this point because discussions about social media and mental health often become too simple too quickly. People sometimes talk as if social media is either obviously ruining people’s lives or obviously helping them stay connected, but this chapter points out that the reality is more mixed than that. I think that is important, because different platforms, different uses, and different people can have very different experiences. This also makes me think that the better question is not whether social media is “good” or “bad” overall, but what kinds of design and habits make it more harmful or more helpful.
13.1.1. Digital Detox?# Some people view internet-based social media (and other online activities) as inherently toxic and therefore encourage a digital detox [m6], where people take some form of a break from social media platforms and digital devices. While taking a break from parts or all of social media can be good for someone’s mental health (e.g., doomscrolling is making them feel more anxious, or they are currently getting harassed online), viewing internet-based social media as inherently toxic and trying to return to an idyllic time from before the Internet is not a realistic or honest view of the matter. In her essay “The Great Offline,” [m7] Lauren Collee argues that this is just a repeat of earlier views of city living and the “wilderness.” As white Americans were colonizing the American continent, they began idealizing “wilderness” as being uninhabited land (ignoring the Indigenous people who already lived there, or kicking them out or killing them). In the 19th century, as wilderness tourism was taking off as an industry, natural landscapes were figured as an antidote to the social pressures of urban living, offering truth in place of artifice, interiority in place of exteriority, solitude in place of small talk. Similarly, advocates for digital detox build an idealized “offline” separate from the complications of modern life: Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together, characterizes the offline world as a physical place, a kind of Edenic paradise. “Not too long ago,” she writes, “people walked with their heads up, looking at the water, the sky, the sand” — now, “they often walk with their heads down, typing.” […] Gone are the happy days when families would gather around a weekly televised program like our ancestors around the campfire! But Lauren Collee argues that by placing the blame on the use of technology itself and making not using technology (a digital detox) the solution, we lose our ability to deal with the nuances of how we use technology and how it is designed: I’m no stranger to apps that help me curb my screen time, and I’ll admit I’ve often felt better for using them. But on a more communal level, I suspect that cultures of digital detox — in suggesting that the online world is inherently corrupting and cannot be improved — discourage us from seeking alternative models for what the internet could look like. I don’t want to be trapped in cycles of connection and disconnection, deleting my social media profiles for weeks at a time, feeling calmer but isolated, re-downloading them, feeling worse but connected again. For as long as we keep dumping our hopes into the conceptual pit of “the offline world,” those hopes will cease to exist as forces that might generate change in the worlds we actually live in together. So in this chapter, we will not consider internet-based social media as inherently toxic or beneficial for mental health. We will be looking for more nuance and where things go well, where they do not, and why.
Digital detox can be a great way to recover from past trauma and difficulties experienced through social media. I have personally tried this several times over the past few years, where I would take a 2 days break from using any and all social media platforms, including even YouTube. I have also been able to connect this feeling back to the idea of escaping modern life and going into the wilderness to mentally recover and take a break. I have personally experienced that though this may be a solution in the short term, this is not a permanent solution.
Keep regular sleep and wake times.

We are all Designers because we need to find a way to communicate to others and solve our everyday problems. For example, at the beginning of the video we saw two humans who were sitting on the street and displaying their signs that they designed. One sign was asking for money, which was a solution to the problem of needing money.
Designer David Berman tells us how influential designers and advertisers really are. They design what we purchase, what we believe is important, even how we think! He discusses how persuasive advertisements have become and how they manipulate us into thinking we need something that we don’t. Berman suggests designers should be applying their talent toward creating ideas that will help our planet, not just help companies sell more product.
My favorite part of the video was when Berman discusses the “Ecofont”. This font is designed with tiny holes punched through each letter. To the human eye you can barely notice the holes, but it saves you ink! This was one of my favorite parts because it shows that even small changes can have a huge impact. Also the holes are so small you would never notice them when reading.
This entire video was interesting, it was a more holistic view on user experience rather than a focus on digital user design. while much of the video spoke on physical design it is interesting to think about how this could apply to the digital world, especially when thinking about accessibility. perhaps one of the most prominent examples i can think of regarding accessibility in the digital word, is the rule to minimize text in images in many digital applications. its somethings small but it may have large impacts for minorities with disabilities by ensuring things like screen readers are always available.
what are some example of accessibility in real life you can think of? what about some examples from the digital world?
any neglected accessibility you can think of? in other words are there any disabilities that are often overlooked by many modern designers?
1)Classic colors help people recognize actions because of how our brains connect meaning with them, red means stop/danger, while green signals go or accessibility. For those who are color blind, design details like shapes on these traffic lights lights help communicate the same message. Small subtle design detail, but make everyday much more accessible and beneficial to all.
2) Extreme events around the world make headlines. Events like one from September 2011 can lead to conspiracy theories because people struggle to understand the psychology a behind what happened, especially when they feel the full story is not clearly explained in the media. Example, a situation like the permanent evacuation of Carnet Island and designers and problem solvers to think deeply about how society can respond more effectively for the people.
the only interesting thing was the part about Kangaroos not producing methane. i remember nothing else.
In this video, David Berman talks about how designers have a responsibility for how their designs affect the world (good or bad). He explains the pillars of design (profit, planet, people) and why each of them are important. One part that I found interesting was how gas from cows affects the environment, and how people could reduce this issue greatly by eating kangaroos instead, yet this hasn't been done yet. I think this relates to how humans are biased and are more likely to do familiar things. I also think that people could be swayed to do something different when given a compelling reason to.
Around the 8 minute mark when he was talking about how to help the tigers is a moment that stood out to me. This moment during the video is a interesting way he talks about the sustainability of tigers and keeping them around longer. Another interesting thing that was brought up was the design strategy involved in attempting to create a habitat for the tigers by working with the monks to do it. similar to the design talked about earlier as it is a universal thing that applies to any problem that requires some form of solution, there will always be a design involved whether knowingly or not to help solve the problem at hand.

David Berman explains how inclusive and accessible design can help people with disabilities feel more comfortable and included in everyday life. He shows that good design is not only about appearance, but also about making products and environments easier for everyone to use and understand.
David Berman's quadruple bottom line
I like the constant comparison of the older more "outdated" technology being used as examples for design. I can see many of these design issues still present today and have seen more and more attempts to tackle them. For example, as discussed, the sip and puff device used to navigate a computer having a more modern untested device in the neural link, is a testament on how design challenges are still somewhat unsolved or have multiple more solutions that have yet to be discovered.
Designing With A Purpose: Developing Your Sustainable Project Strategy
This introduction explains how sustainable design focuses on creating products and strategies that consider long-term environmental and social impacts instead of only focusing on profit. It shows that designers can influence positive change through thoughtful decision-making.
Berman is basically telling us that we’ve been the "useful idiots" for big corporations for way too long. He’s calling out designers for being professional liars who spend all day making shiny "buy now" buttons for stuff that’s just going to end up in a landfill. It’s a bit of a slap in the face because he’s saying our talent is actually a weapon, and right now, we’re pointing it at the planet. His whole "Do Good" thing is really just a challenge to stop selling out and use that same psychological manipulation to actually fix something for once. It’s definitely more of a "stop being a jerk" manifesto than a boring business strategy.
David Berman is a very interesting speaker. There were several facts he mentioned that I did not know before watching this. This included the quadruple bottom line. There is more to designing than profit. It is important to think about environmental, social, and sustainability. My favorite fact was there are so many little things that can be redisgned to make it more effective, like the eco font ink. When designing, you have to think about everyone with disabilities. Like the traffic lights with different shapes, there are possible solutions to satisfy everybody.
David Berman on Sustainable Design Thinking Strategy
Two facts I learned from the video are that
1) there was an initiative proposed of eating kangaroos instead of cows in order to reduce methane gas emissions
2) 10% of Norwegians are colorblind.
Group B(2026 summer): 1. I was previously unaware of the 4 bottom line design pattern. Financial, Environmental, social and cultural make a lot of sense because those 4 factors already guide our everyday lives.
David Berman on Sustainable Design Thinking Strategy
Two facts from the video are that only about 30% of the world’s population had internet access at the time the speaker referenced, showing the scale of the digital divide, and that approximately 80% of the tiger population had disappeared within the speaker’s lifetime due largely to habitat loss. These points emphasized both global inequality and environmental sustainability.
n
What I liked about the video that talked was about how our designs can impact multiple groups of people. Namely such as the stop lights design and color can change traffic accidents. Initially what you designed for the major population can exclude the minority.
We should also think about how our design can be creative enough to relate to majority of problems that people are having. This allows us to aggregate the solution for most people.
everyone is a designer? agree or disagree ? is this a good or bad thing?
little changes can have big impact.
accessibility in design can often be life changing (ex. traffic light and colorblindness) -> designing for people with extreme deficits, everyone benefits.
--> design should be accessible always.
more people have been liberated through information technology than anything else.
quadruple bottom line
digital divide : Movie theaters --> home Television --> Laptop --> phone<br /> gaining more autonomy over technology.

I love your interactive exhibits, and wonder what would happen if you intermixed them with your more formal essay writing? Also, Leah Duncan can show you a way to make the music play automatically with scroll, if that's something you would want.
While the angel in Love Pampered by the Beautiful Ladies also has a mysterious identity rooted in classical mythology, the autonomy a viewer has in their interpretation is far more extreme in Drift of Chaos II (Hermes).

In the end, both the poem and the painting suggest the variety of experiences had in city life.
Marvelous job linking the poems to the paintings. The inside/outside motif is rampant in her early poetry and tied to gender motifs in "Three Moments in Paris" and in "The Effectual Marriage," too.
It's a bit confusing when you cite "Three Moments" but then quote the poem "Parturition," which I don't think is part of the triptych, is it? Considering moving the passage from Parturition up to just after the paragraph where you discuss it. Or use Three Moments, instead of Parturtition to illustrate both the inside/outside motif and the multiple speakers approach.
The identity of Love as a mythical figure is clear based on the painting’s titles and Love’s wings–so then, does the ambiguity instead refer to the androgyny of Love?
Excellent question: I want to read your answer!
In all, the intersection of these styles in Loy’s painting reveals the nature of her education and engagement with broader art movements since early on, though a closer analysis of the painted subject matter best illuminates Loy’s individualized touch.
Here, you articulate a key point that seems essential to your original contribution to Loy studies. In some ways you're returning us to Conover's original insight about how she defies categorization by showing how she applies this individual touch to her paintings.
While these scholars make meaningful contributions to the discussion of Loy as a visual artist amongst broader movements, they risk the categorization of Loy's art that Conover argued she resisted.
For some reason, Hypothesis isn't allowing me to making line item comments.
Here are a few small suggestions for your lucid, perceptive, beautifully written essay.
Since you cite our website so often, it feels like it falsely gives me credit for work that is collaborative or by other authors. It might be better to use the parenthetical (mina-loy.com) and/or cite the author of the particular page or item you're citing on that project. For example, you might use (Rosenbaum) for her chapters on Surrealism, and treat the citation as a chapter in an edited collection, where the author of the chapter is cited, and the edition info is secondary.
"Regardless, more work needs to be done" seems like a sentence that could be applied to almost any artist, and certainly any woman artist. Can you point to some more specific issue that needs attention? Such a move would foreground your contribution and whet our appetites prior to the lit review that follows.
Excellent, concise, confident, and illuminating lit review. It may be a bit unfair to charge Rosenbaum with categorizing Loy's work as Surrealist, since she's specifically looking at work Loy created when actively participating as artist, writer, and agent in Surrealist artistic activities AND she argues that Loy was critiquing Surrealism as much as participating, adopting en dehors garde strategies of engagement and resistance.
Instead, I analyze the artwork produced during Loy’s Paris years with an art historical lens. This is a crucial scope, as Loy studied art in Paris early on in her practice, and then later returned for an extended period comparable to that of New York. In turn, one can understand her better as an independent modernist artist through the identification of consistent interests and a formal evolution in her practice, opening up the possibility of a more nuanced understanding of Loy’s relationship to art movements and her later assemblages.
Fine job summarizing how your method differs from those before you, but I think you can sharpenn the articulation of what insight(s) your method will provide: what key nuances will your method reveal?
Regardless, more work needs to be done.

Esto lo demuestra precisamente el capítulo que trata del surgimiento del „nuevo espíritu“, es decir, la condición subjetiva del capitalismo. Para nuestra sorpresa, el „nuevo espíritu;“ aparece como un espíritu antiguo, como el auri sacra fames, al que la humanidad está constitucionalmente ligada, del que ya nos hablan los cuentos de hadas de Midas y los Argonautas. Pero este espíritu, la adicción al oro, a cada vez más metal brillante, ahora de repente atrapa a la humanidad „cuando el tiempo se cumple, fue“ como lo es el tiempo, que desde un punto de vista histórico no es del todo exacto. El baronismo ladrón y el indulgencia, la minería de oro y la alquimia buscan satisfacer la adicción al oro y entonces surge el pensamiento:poner también la actividad económica al servicio de este fin. Ya no se trata de alimentos apropiados, sino de ganar dinero, que se convierte en el leitmotiv de la actividad económica. „Cuándo, dónde y cómo este pensamiento llegó por primera vez al mundo probablemente siempre estará envuelto en una oscuridad impenetrable“ (1, p. 338). Y en esta oscuridad, el cruel autor abandona repentinamente al ansioso lector, mientras que en la oscuridad protectora él mismo da el salto mortal sobre el abismo que separa los mundos de la artesanía y el capitalista.Y en esta oscuridad, el cruel autor abandona repentinamente al ansioso lector, mientras que en la oscuridad protectora él mismo da el salto mortal sobre el abismo que separa los mundos de la artesanía y el capitalista

One of the ways social media can be beneficial to mental health is in finding community (at least if it is a healthy one, and not toxic like in the last section). For example, if you are bullied at school (and by classmates on some social media platform), you might find a different online community online that supports you. Or take the example of Professor Casey Fiesler finding a community that shared her interests (see also her article [m26]):
It certainly hits close to home for me – I believe the difference between seeking out community versus simply being discovered by an online community is often overlooked. The case provided by Fiesler is particularly relevant since it shows that she was not simply scrolling; instead, she went looking for her own community. This element of agency seems to be crucial for whether or not being in an online community positively impacts mental health. Is it possible that being forced into communities through popular platforms such as TikTok or Instagram Reels may be even less effective for this purpose than old-school forums or niche spaces?
Healthy Activities on Social Media
Something that this chapter doesn't mention is the fitness community. Some can view it as negative but in my opinion, fitness community is beneficial for people and it helps with lots of mental problems too. Some might feel discouraged when comparing with successful people online but this should only encourage them to do better.
So you might find a safe space online to explore part of yourself that isn’t safe in public
Yes, social media can be good for certain reasons like finding a community of people. However, I feel like solely relying on social media to fix an issue like community isn't good. I feel this way because it can make you codependent and addicted to the apps or websites.

Sita Sings the Blues
In Ramayana, Rama is always the hero. He is the embodiment of the perfect man. Paley's take on the story recenters this view as she dives deep into the character of Sita. This allows the viewer to dissect what a hero really is. Her bravery and strength makes her a hero, but she isn't celebrated for it. In fact, it seems that life punishes her for it. We see her heroic acts in her decision to follow him into exile, in her resilience during captivity under Ravana, and in the strength it takes to face suspicion from the man she loved to the very end of her life. There is an apparent contradiction in the original tale. Sita must bear the weight of the many hardships she faces without a word while Rama is never really critiqued for throwing her away, even when he knew for a fact that she was completely faultless.
