    1. not just from the scholarly community, but from mainstream news outlets, seems not to deal overmuch with women, queer people, and people of color.

      While proposing a project dealing with mining mix/combined text languages, I also encounter this. The need or request for this was more on the mainstream side than the academic side.

    2. a person moved from Brazil to the United States, she might move from white to black.

      This is a good idea, specially for Latinx immigrants who would be considered white in their native land but a POC here in the US.

    3. digital humanities might critically investigate structures of power, like race and gender.

      Very interested in this topic, specially in conversation about digital pedagogy.

    1. The reduction of reading to consumption is obviously responsible for the “boredom” many feel in the presence of the modern (“unreadable”) text, the avant-garde film or painting: to be bored means one cannot produce the text, play it, release it, make it go.

      So, is he saying that because we've been prioritizing reading and making it seem more like a thing to consume, we are bored and therefore not allowing ourselves to really "play" with the Text and its meanings?

    2. relativize the relations of scriptor, reader, and observer (critic)

      This reminds me of the first reading we did in class, speaking to the "new" modes of reading.
