Instructions for Technorati

Last names from A-K start with Technorati…

Last names from L-Z start with Collages

For Technorati:

Go to www.technorati.com

1. Click "Join" at the top of the screen
   
2. Create your technorati account…just like you'd create a profile if you were doing so for any other online service that makes you enter your info
   
3. When you've done that, click the option for the "quick claim" to claim your blog (click the link directly from the end of the account creation or click on the link that is next to your profile name now that you've created an account at the top of the screen that says "edit"
   if you do so and you see your username and the place where you'd change your password, click on the little tab that says "blogs" and then claim your blog
   
4. Make sure you have a second browser window open and go to your blog's url (whatever.blogspot.com)
   
5. Claim your blog by adding the code (yes, it's computer code, but just copy and paste) using the instructions to add the code to your blog in the "Layout" area of your blog's settings page.
   
6. Add a new little rectangle to the same area you added the logo picture (on the first day of class) by clicking "add page element" and then select the one for "HTML/Java" and paste the code from technorati in the box that appears.
7. Paste the code from technorati based on the icon you chose….it's simple Control and A to select all, then Control C to copy and then go to your blog where the little window popped up for the page element add, and Control V to paste the code into the box.
   
8. Click save changes, drag the rectangle to where you want it…anywhere below the picture for the logo is fine
   
9. Then click "save" in the main layout page on your blog
   
Go back to Technorati and make sure you configure your "widget" and hit "save settings" or "Release the spiders" whichever appears

10. On your blog's layout page click "view blog" next to the layout tab
    
11. Check that your blog is showing the image with the link count (or whatever you've added for the technorati icon) or if you see "view blog info" and "view profile info" you're good to go! Sometimes it takes technorati a while to add your blog and once it does the image will appear.
    

For the Collages:

Please disregard the assignment's inclusion of PowerPoint and see the email I sent for more info if you need help with creating a collage

You can also add individual images like you did for the first blog post assignment and create the collage in the "post new blog" area of blogger

Start finding images for your collage (or testing the image use if you've started the collage already)

Chris R. Giroux, Henry. Kids for Sale: Corporate Culture and the Challenge of Public Schooling. pgs. 171-175

Chris Refsdal
9/28/07
WGS 220-05

Description:

• The amount of corporate advertising in many public schools undermines the democratic values that our education system seeks to instill in children. (pg. 171-175)
  

Analysis:

• Instead of learning civic courage, corporate advertising transforms genuine knowledge into recognizing brand names and learning attitudes for low-skilled and low-paying occupation (pg. 173)
• Many educators justify the intrusion of corporations by claiming that it truly empowers children to learn, allowing the practice to persist. (pg. 173)
• Corporate advertising can in some cases suppress freedom of choice and opinion, as with the students who were punished by wearing Pepsi logos to a Coke-sponsored event. (pg. 174)
  

Vision:

• Schools should not need to rely on corporations for funding, and should uphold the need to teach the values of a democracy of citizens and not those of a democracy of consumers. (pg. 174)
  

Strategy:

• Implied. Schools must first recognize that corporate advertising does have a detrimental effect on students and that it intrudes upon the values that educators attempt to teach. Schools should look for alternate methods of funding, or at least teach students not to be swayed by corporate advertising.

Chris R. Henley, Nancy & Jo Freeman. The Sexual Politics of Interpersonal Behavior. pgs 84-93

Chris Refsdal
9/7/07
WGS 220-05

Description:

• Components of social interaction, both verbal and nonverbal, serve to continually remind women of their inferiority, so much so, that it becomes habitual. (pg. 84)
  

Analysis:

• The posture and dress of women has generally been perceived as “restricted” and “confined”. While clothing from the beginning of the 20^th century concealed much of a woman’s body, modern dress can still be seen as “confined”, being that most women’s clothing is made to be tight in order to highlight her features. (pg. 86)
• Touching is seen as the action of a superior towards an inferior, so men generally initiate touching towards women. In this way, it is seen as an act of power. However, if women initiate touching, it is seen as an act of intimacy. (pg. 87-88)
• Forms of verbal dominance, such as swearing and interrupting, are most often seen in men. Swearing allows men to vent their anger without resorting to physical violence, yet women are encouraged to simply direct their anger inwards. Likewise, men were found to more often interrupt conversation than women. (pg. 89)

Vision:

• Implied. The asymmetry in the interpersonal behaviors of the sexes should be eliminated. One sex should not have so many means of power and dominance over the other.
  

Strategy:

• Simply acknowledging that an asymmetry exists is the first step towards change. However, this does not mean that women should simply start using the actions of power and dominance that men have used. As shown, these actions could be misinterpreted as signs of intimacy or otherwise. Instead, the gradual revealing of emotions and increased expressivity in both sexes could better both the individual and society as a whole. (pg. 91)

Rachel S. Gilman, Susan Jane. Klaus Barbie and other dolls I'd like to see. Pg. 72-75.

Description:
• Dolls are girls' first impressions of what is considered to be beautiful and Barbie dolls give girls an impression of an unattainable, Aryan image. (pg. 73)

Analysis:
• Barbies are more of an "adult cult and aesthetic obsession" than merely a children's toy. (pg. 73)
• All of the different Barbie dolls that have ever been introduced from different backgrounds than the traditional blonde, Aryan Barbie depiction have been labeled as "special" or "limited edition" thus characterizing them as "other." (pg. 74).

Vision:
• Barbies need to serve the purpose of expanding girls' images of what is beautiful, rather than constricting them. (pg. 74)

Strategy:
• New models of Barbie dolls should be created, in all ethnicities, shapes and sizes. (pg. 74-75)

Rachel S. Gender, Sexuality and Popular Culture. Pg. 22-25.

Description:
• In our society, the media has an obsession with adolescent girls. (pg. 22)

Analysis:
• There is a subculture of heterosexual patriarchal privilege where men are entitled to the bodies of girls. (pg. 23)
• When girls internalize negative sexual images, they become mistrusting of their own bodies and feelings. (pg. 23)

Vision:
• Girls need to become aware of their sexuality through sexual education. (pg. 24)

Strategy:
• The sexual education can be achieved when taught through close relationships that girls have control over their bodies and additionally, that girls do live in a society in which men take advantage of them. (pg. 24)

Jill L. anastasia higginbotham, teen mags, 93-96

Jillian Limone
October 2, 2007
Gender and Popular Culture: section 5
Anastasia Higginbotham. Teen Mags: How to Get a Guy, Drop 20 Pounds, and Lose Your Self- Esteem. 93-96.
Description:
• Teen Magazines tell young girls how to make themselves prettier, cooler, better and more like that image of "an ideal girl" instead of exploring the reality of true girlhood.
Analysis:
• Teen magazines provide "hints and tips" to be successful in the social world. (93)
• The magazines provide girls how to be super sexy but then do not continue with safety skills, self defense or self esteem articles. (95)
• Provide contradictory articles relating to diets and boy-related problems. (95)
• Reinforce many negative stereotypes of women in today's society. (95)
• The provide unrealistic size requirements for girls, racist definitions of beauty as well as stress the importance of make-up, hair dos and prom queen. (96)
Vision:
• Magazines need to reflect the true reality of girls' lives and the constant pressures from society that they face.
Strategy:
• Magazines need to inject "real life stories" of girlhood and provide articles that every girl can relate to.
