1:05, to bring up vitalism again (but not really) What if the desire for animism comes not from a desire for "oneness" in thoughts, not in a physical state of being. This acknowledges some psychic link.

55:30, FINALLY A GOOD QUESTION

37:50~

Is there a reason that we ignore/tune out the call of things? Do things allow us to betray other humans? Perhaps ignoring the call is simply an evolved power.

This makes me think of the film Her. Looking at the relationship between man and phone/computer applies the call of things.

27:52, Is the cocoon a pupal stage or a protective layer? Should we refer to the hoard as a cocoon or an exoskeleton?

Consider how wearables enable data hoarding.

22:40,

21:45 How is the hoard not a reflection of the desires of others? I fail to see the intrinsic power in the object, although I think this theory requires a level of suspension.

11:05, "just crazy" The caption she chooses for the video is interesting because although the man says it about the television, it reminded me of Frankenstein (the argument for inorganic sympathy can be made for Frankenstein, though I think Frankenstein is more directly related to vitalism).

8:10 Her definition of rhetoric as "word-sounds" is interesting, because she relates rhetoric as a power used to understand objects.

5:08 aleatory materialism, in better context

3:30, grateful for that powerpoint--I thought she was saying horde, not hoard.

The social contract of the digital sphere has to have a place for the disembodied, not just those brave enough to marry the public and private sphere. It's important as well to mention how access to digital work is universal, and not limited to the first world. Although phones are pretty normal goods around the world--they don't always have internet and a woman in rural Africa won't have the same internet surfing needs as a woman in rural Canada. Can both women occupy physical and online spaces as feminists without anxiety?

In Class

Single mom, had abortions herself.

In class:

She was a single mom, has had two abortions in the past.

"Why is it important?"

I think that "call-out culture" could be explored more, especially since it presents a specific response to "disruptive" rhetoric. Is it a call-out, which carries a negative connotation, or simply expressing a perspective truth?

Ok, she saves herself by saying "not limited to" but I think that this covers first world problems by presenting issues that would be experienced by women who have access to /possess the technology necessary to post online.

So you're saying that the text must be multimodal as well as aware of what others are saying within the movement to be disruptive. I find this statement troubling since it views disruptive digital rhetoric as a complement to activism in the material world and not as a separate conversation (which it could be).

Important recognition, but she fails to add what would give it legitimacy

Like Plato saying that the symbolic language is lesser

The idea that the voices are disruptive and under attack is a weird commentary--this is explained better later on, but I think pairing these ideas in this way is awkward, given her abrupt transition in the next paragraph.

Where are these people when Ted Cruz is talking?

Different translations -- Wharton, in class.

Socrates seems disinterested in the affairs of the gods.

Boreas was the North Wind. In the myth, Boreas raped Orythiya when he picked her up off the riverside.

What is the purpose of having wings? are they a symbol of lightheartedness, or a symbol of freedom? Could they be something far more sinister or fleeting?

Literally what I say when people bring up their feelings in a "rhetorical analysis." It's not a journal entry, back it up with evidence.

I hate when people use this word outside of culinary (or carnal) settings.

It seems here like there is an argument being made against morality.

The story is that Boreas carried Orithyia away and raped her, so beautiful was she.

Googled the river--it no longer exists above ground, but here is a place that borrows it's name.

This is probably much more playful than it is critical.

I wonder if his name has anything to do with the word Acumen?
