Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Feminist Film Theory and Video Games. Lately I have been reading up on feminist film theory and thinking about how I can apply it to my research on video games. So here goes. Please bear with me as I try to make sense of what I am attempting to articulate. One of the most important theorists in this field is Laura Mulvey. Who wrote an article in the 1970s entitled. Visual Please and Narrative Cinema. There is ...

Bring Out Your Blog: Journal Entry #3 - A Few Connections
http://blogginonup.blogspot.com/2007/07/journal-entry-3-few-connections.html
Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Thursday, July 05, 2007. Journal Entry #3 - A Few Connections. I am not sure if an entry is needed for last Tuesday's class, but I am going to start one anyway, and then after tonight's class, I may add more to these thoughts. The values/morals theme was apparent in our trip to PH and LC. What an interesting contrast there was between the two with PH evidently a low income area and LC as an example of capitalism at its finest (and ...

Bring Out Your Blog: Who was He/She? or How I Caused an Avatar to Change Gender in Second Life
http://blogginonup.blogspot.com/2007/07/who-was-heshe-or-how-i-caused-avatar-to.html
Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Or How I Caused an Avatar to Change Gender in Second Life. I was saving myself for marriage! After waiting a few minutes (and getting propositioned by a male avatar with an erect penis), I went over to sunbathe by the pool. Hey - why not earn a couple of dollars while waiting! I could see Paolo in the distance still editing his appearance, but I couldn't tell what changes he was making. I even sent an IM. It was...

Bring Out Your Blog: Journal Entry #1 - The Token Male
http://blogginonup.blogspot.com/2007/07/journal-entry-1-token-male.html
Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Thursday, July 05, 2007. Journal Entry #1 - The Token Male. On a side note, every time someone used the word oppressed/repressed, I had to keep myself from laughing. I recently watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so I kept hearing, “Help! I’m being repressed! Come and see the violence inherent in the system.” So much for autonomist collectives! Mark D. Cruea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mark D. Cruea. Back in the game!

Bring Out Your Blog: Journal Entry #4 - Butler, Embodiment, and Second Life
http://blogginonup.blogspot.com/2007/07/journal-entry-4-butler-embodiment-and.html
Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Tuesday, July 10, 2007. Journal Entry #4 - Butler, Embodiment, and Second Life. Amy's avatar, Eggbert. Was a mixture of female and male signifiers. There was a hint of breasts and a full beard. I think I'll play with my avatar a little to see what I can do. In the meantime, it would be interesting to see how others react to Eggbert. And what/who they think the person is in RL. The discussion on embodiment in SL. Mark D. Cruea. Universi...

Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Thursday, August 02, 2007. Final Entry - Feminist Research Class. Well this is it folks - the last time I write in this blog for Dr. G. Tonight was the last night of class - literally. It was the last class meeting for the course as well as the last class I have to officially take. Now (in the words of Andy Famigletti. I am facing down the barrel of my dissertation (and prelims and dissertation proposal, all of which come first). User ...

Bring Out Your Blog. Occasional musings from an eternal grad student. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. More Adventures in Second Life. Okay - Last night and today were weird. Not only did I seemingly have an influence on the gender changing of a SL. Seemingly spilled over into SL. Looks like a guy, but you can judge for yourself. Second, their reaction to what was perceived as a violation of the gender restrictions was quite humorous. Mark D. Cruea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mark D. Cruea. Journal Ent...
