Margaretha: Can you expand on what is your project idea? I think I am still unclear on what you wanted to do.
Andres: What is the importance of looking at online newspapers as political texts? Do you think they are apolitical and if so where do you think their apolitical approach is rooted on?
Angela: How and are subjugated knowledges informing your research/art project? Is your project informed by young folks of color's take on racism in the US, history, education,etc?
Marc: What implications does placing “the game” away from an interface as in the social installation idea has?
Their Questions to me:
from Angela:
Though I understand your idea of using trauma as a means for collective resistance instead of just a pathological barrier, can you give an example of how you might go about doing such?
from Andres:
I don't think I understand your reference to Ann Cvetkovich (point 3 of your theoretical points) and her idea that trauma can be framed as a site of collective resistance. How can it be framed that way? (also, are you thinking of including other diasporas)
from Margaretha:
what kinds of issues with representation do you face in your project? how do you plan to situate yourself as the filmmaker? how do you plan to situate the audience? how is the audience implicated in your work? (whoops that's more than one question ;)
from Marc:
In "Queer Asylum", you raise a question as to how one might attempt to reconfigure or reform a country's government while simultaneously seeking legal (and moral) acceptance in it. I detect a certain paradox in your writing that speaks to the immediate need for safety as it clashes with vehement critiques of U.S. foreign policy and hetero-normative institutions. Do you intend to address this clash directly in your project, and if so what means do you envision using?
