- bell hooks, “in our glory: photography and black life”
- chrstian walker, “gazing colored”
- mkcfadden, “teaching the camera to see my skin” [if you want to see this argument in video form, you can find an example here: estelle caswell, “color film was built for white people”]
- aja romano on vine and black social media (just to give a more contemporary example)
these are all pretty short, so even though you have something due today, it won’t be too much of a burden for you to do the readings for class, right? think about the way “representation” “normal” and “culture” [not to mention “race”] are working through these texts. enjoy!
