BREAKING NEWS! THE DEADLINE FOR THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO 11:59pm WEDNESDAY MARCH 20.

THIS IS A 48 HOUR AND 2 MINUTE EXTENSION. IF YOU WILL BE DONE BY THE ORIGINAL DUE DATE, THAT’S FINE! TURN IT IN AND LIFE GOES ON AS USUAL. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING.
content warnings! tread lightly, please.
- noble, “Critical Surveillance Literacy in Social Media:Interrogating Black Death and Dying Online”
- smith, “videos of police killings are numbing us to reality of black death” (a journalistic take on the issue, here if you want to read it/as reference, but ignore if you’re busy (you’re busy, right?))
- raiford, “photography and the practices of critical black memory” (discussing the role of photography in circulating dominant and critical responses to lynching)
- wood, “the spectacle of lynching” [a more straightforward discussion of history of lynching and photography. you won’t read it, but it’s here if you are interested]
- anderson, “when a lynching memorial becomes a photo opportunity” (shortish piece on the recently opened lynching memorial)
- “veganism has a serious race problem” [[read this if you want, but you can get the gist from the header image and the title. it considers the effects of appropriating the visuals/discourses of lynching]]
even more extraneous stuff that you will never, ever read, but which is related and interesting, so it’s going to be included, whether it ever gets read or not. [please note that even the list above includes extra stuff crammed into the sub-bullet points, so i am really not trying to overwork you, especially since you have work due this week.]
- lynching in america — interactive resource
- latinos also targeted with lynching — a NYT article from this month (and a related piece from a few years ago)
- ken gonzales-day, “erased lynchings” (art!)
