• Provide a critical reaction to the texts exploring the juncture at which communication media technologies and the notion of embodiment and (Dis)embodiment intersect.

Your discussion should integrate the different arguments made in the essays into your own take on the subject. Make sure to provide your own perspective and to develop your own voice as a writer. There are no definitive answers to the questions raised by the authors. The critique that you offer should join the conversation.

The assignment is designed to assess your fluency and understanding of the material rather than your effort to understand the reading. Class discussion will be guided by the questions that students prepared.
