notes from november 2nd

3 types of conflicts:

Man vs man man vs themselves man vs nature

What is power?

Power in the environment, the outer world and how it’s changing, power in a futuristic narrative Tsunamis and catastrophes, cities and countries disappearing because of global warming/climate change

Power in clothing - wearing heels/platforms, headphones with music that makes you feel strong, certain style belonging a certain urban subculture The every day empowerment and identityHow you present yourself among others

Power in superficiality, fleeting impressions given by us to others, whether they are true or not

Power in narrative Memories aren’t reliable, fabricated memories

Power in media Because that’s what we’re shown

What is identity?

You’re born with some identity - pre-existing But you’re also shaped into it Some things you’re born into, some are made, and some things you choose

Nature vs nurture

Nationality vs ethnicity vs race Context defining situations

How do you project your identity How do you want people to perceive you

Intertwined themes

How do you see identity in past, present, future?

Identity is ever-changing, so what will the future look like? Futuristic take on identity and the power it holds

Power in owning your identity

Online identities vs irl identities, gained another level Being online so much - your brain is constantly The anonymous layers and the accountability Freedom in lack of accountability and being anonymous Snapchat phenomenon, wanting to look like filters

Documentaries about how the future will look like but a positive spin on it -

Community and power and identity

How people can choose your identity for you based on constructions and stereotypes

Paradigm of it

-

From “Power & privilege pt 1”: Whose perspective isn’t here? And why?

-

From "Inclusive design": If interactive, what kinda accessibility is there? What is missing?
