Fall 2010

The following is the introduction to the blogs from my Honors Composition Course, "How to Do Things With Bodies," which I taught in the Fall of 2010:

Well, readers, the time has come to stack on top of what I've already focused on in the past - urging readers and writers to become bloggers, and participate in the widely burgeoning blogosphere! In the entries below, I covered a few things discussed in the class I taught during the spring semester of 2010, in a composition class (Comp II at University of Oklahoma) that focused on understanding and comprehending new media and literacy. This semester brings me to a new and interesting topic (one that might almost seem unimportant in an online forum) - the human body!!

Below the cut, you'll find a list of student blogs from my composition class, "How to do things with Bodies." Please visit each link (I'll be adding more as more students join the project), and keep coming back as students update their blogs with personal reflections on bodies, body image, and their potential meanings for culture (both for dominant culture and for counter or sub cultures!).

But in the vein of the blog, wherein I love to get comments and start conversation and discussion after my entries, I leave you with a question.

How might the concept of the human body be incredibly pertinent to new media and technology, or the internet? Where do we see permutations of the body, or alterations of the body, online? Hmmm... Curioser, and curioser.
