If you missed the link on the board to the Guerrilla Girls' website, here it is. Check out their mission statement at the bottom of the first page and the advertisements throughout.
As you respond, think about the Girls' message, and the message of the image. Is it persuasive? Does it hold up under scrutiny? Whether you agree with them or not, your analysis should be objective. As always, a personal reaction is always welcome along with your analysis.

I agree with Becca!

On a more me note: shit. I forgot to do the article about the Guerrilla Girls until after I finished doing my article on legalization. Rats. Can I make it up by doing my article for Thursday on the Guerrilla Girls? I fully support them and their witty images.

No worries. This is just a suggestion. If you find something better, by all means use it.

Hey... *Cough*-*Hack*-*Vomit*-*Near-death experience*

How do I cite an online source when it's a video recording of a speech found on one site, but hosted by an independent and unrelated server used by an or--- oh lawd, whatever! How do I cite this:
http://www.guerrillagirls.com/posters/feministsymposium.shtml

JStallings said... December 4, 2007 at 6:16 PM

Gesundheit.
I believe, by taking the elements from the MLA lecture format and the basic format for a webpage citation:
Guerilla Girls [b/c their individual names change frequently]. "Presentation on Race/Activism/Geopolitics." _The_Feminist_Future:_Theory_and_ Practice_in_the_Visual_Arts. Metropolitan Museum of Art. 27 Jan. 2007. Guerrilla Girls, Inc. 4 Dec. 2007 [url in angle brackets].
The main concern in citing is that your reader can track your sources. The specific urls make this seemingly outdated, but since webpages change so frequently the other information is necessary.
Hope this helps.

oh, i just needed to find out where you went to paint that monster. and can you post something on that lyrics analysis assignment. i dont know what you want us to do with it.

JStallings said... December 4, 2007 at 9:43 PM

No assignment. We're going to continue the discussion from today. If you want to check out the Lysistrata (google it; I can't put a link here...), you'll have something to add.
Oh, we mentioned the music of Lupe Fiasco and his treatment of women. It shall be discussed as well. Check out the lyrics from his Food and Liquor album.

Totally unrelated, but it brings back memories of last session:

Man, I used to hate Mountain Dew's "x-tream" marketing, but it seems that they've crossed the Rubicon of despicable and moronic advertising with... DEWmocracy!

nice octopus stallings... it looks rather... angry at the little goldfish. Perhaps it is a bit misunderstood?

JStallings said... December 8, 2007 at 10:48 AM

He pets! He loves little goldfish.
