Due: Thu, Feb 4, 10:30AM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first phase of the course we will review readings and video related to the major course themes: telepresence, presence, absence, and the proxy body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this first assignment, please read the assigned article (one of the articles listed below) and write a short blog post on the course site with your analytic reflections. The objective is to identify a theme or question which inspires further thinking, not simply to summarize the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. When in doubt, focus: your response may center on a specific point or two and describe your reactions, analysis, and questions. It isn’t necessary to address every point in the source.<\/li>
  2. Sometimes a text raises more questions than it answers.<\/li>
  3. Please write coherent prose, not just notes or a list. This doesn’t need to be long, a well-constructed paragraph or two may be enough.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
