For my StoryMap I chose to discuss the Feminism keyword. I focused mainly on a short history of feminism and then relevant examples of media, whether that be inspecting certain media through a feminist lens or discussing instances of feminism in media. I specifically focused on the ideas of female self-authorship vs. women defined by a patriarchal society. I discovered… Read more »
For my story map I looked deeply into the word Queer. These keyword was interesting to me the second we started talking about it. I thought the Queering the map website we looked at was so interesting and the popplet we made with our own examples. I wanted to use this keyword because it’s something that is very relevant in… Read more »
My StoryMap revolves around the keyword gaze and its cultural influence. I chose gaze because as one of the convergence keywords, I was able to demonstrate the intersection of many facets of identity. From the chapter, I looked more into Laura Mulvey’s definition of Male Gaze and how that’s been expanded upon to include the portrayal of sexuality and race… Read more »
For my story map, I decided to explore the media keyword Network. My story map describes what a network truly is and the components which make up social networks. I then cover real-world examples of social networking platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, The Social Network, and the Netflix documentary “Don’t F**k With Cats”. I chose networks because I think that… Read more »

As I read your responses and reply comments to the keyword agency, I realized that I’d provided a more limited account and illustrations of the keyword than I intended. My research in modern rhetorical theory leads me toward assemblage agency that combines the actions and humans and technologies in creating meaning. But agency itself isn’t assembled. In and of itself,… Read more »

This can be seen by the “male gaze,” which is where stereotypical, heterosexual male desires and… Read more »

However, something I had not… Read more »
