Prompt 11

Blog and comments due Sunday
This week we began looking at film as we continue our investigation of the body and technology and how this relationship affects how we imagine the body of the future (or future bodies). In doing this, we've also started to prepare for the final project and I want you to use this blog entry as a space for invention for your final presentation. This means that you will need to watch your movie by Sunday because you'll need to complete a blog entry that offers one or multiple ways in which your assigned movie makes an argument about the body's relationship to technology. This does not have to be polished, as your final presentation should be, but rather serve as an initial inquiry into the study and source at hand. A good place to start may be the idea of cinematic language that we discussed in class. Your presentation will focus not only on the what (claim) but also the how (evidence) and investigating the various techniques that fall under the term cinematic language will be helpful in initiating your analysis.

In your comments, you should provide the writer with helpful feedback that either furthers the argument or suggests other ways to pursue the topic. You need not restrict your responses to those movies you have seen; an interaction with the author's analysis itself should be helpful as you all work to develop ideas you may want to present.
