Remember to read the Linda Badley article "Spiritual Warfare" on The Blair Witch Project for next week; it is linked on Blackboard.
I also assigned the article on film criticism and homosexuality by Michael Bronski for reading this past week; feel free to apply points from that article to your discussion of The Celluloid Closet. This is linked on the blog.
Also, some new reading for the next two weeks, as we'll be discussing genre: "Is the Final Girl An Excuse?" is an essay on the horror genre and some of the more prominent feminist theories on this genre, from the website "Cinema de Merde." Please look this over for next week. (It's also linked on Blackboard and the blog resource sidebar).
EVERYONE is expected to post to the blog and take part in discussions. Lately I have noticed very few of you are doing this with any regularity.
Also, the rewrites of the collage summaries are due yesterday, as in, as soon as possible. I have only received two so far.
The work requirements of this course are fairly minimal; please try to stay on top of them.
My computer is having trouble "supporting this MIME type" of the Spritual Warfare article. It has something to with the formatting of the article(in richtext?) and not something my computer can open. But I'm not good with computers so that's as much as I gathered.
ReplyDeleteMaybe try to download and save it in rtf format? I may be able to post a word doc to Blackboard.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have added a Word .doc file version of the Spiritual Warfare article to the Readings section of Blackboard.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was able to download the Word version of Spiritual Warfare without any problems.
