How do you conceptualize anger? What’s the relationship between femininity and anger, and why do you think black feminists use avenues like poetry and spiritual exploration as foundations for liberation? - Emily bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939199689 2024-04-01 14:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939199689 Yoruba cosmologies are often not considered to Black power ideologies due to masculinism. However Clifton and Lorde use content from female centered religions to aid in their work. How has a “ordinary womanhood” changed the dialogue? -Gray bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939200235 2024-04-01 14:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939200235 Livingston highlights the idea of sacrifice zones with Asthma Alley and Louisiana’s Chemical Corridor. Where do we see sacrifice zones beyond the physical body (i.e., mental well-being, spiritual well-being)? - Emily bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939200503 2024-04-01 14:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939200503 “Self devouring growth” is a key term in Julie’s writing. These refer to systems that both create and solve the problem all the while profiting off of the individual. What are some of the ways in which we can see COVID-19 contributing to this system? -Gray bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939200849 2024-04-01 14:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939200849 There are many avenues to the interpretations of female cosmologies. Lorde talks about the “ordinary women”, The Warrior Women (Typically male), the amazon(Lesbian subtext). She often talks about her struggles in categories. How have these categories and more disrupted her sense of unbelonging? -Gray bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939283714 2024-04-01 16:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939283714 How can we quantify sacrifice zones and how does this visualization shift the “personal” and political body politics? (Ex. 3.49$ plastic wrap or New Zealand) -Gray bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939284023 2024-04-01 16:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939284023 Livingston mentions the body as a relationship and healing the body politic. What might healing the body politic look like? How might focusing on the body as a population affect personal health? -Emily bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939284232 2024-04-01 16:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939284232 hi bennisee https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939407341 2024-04-01 18:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939407341 to me, anger is a passionate kind of sadness. - santi https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939407522 2024-04-01 18:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939407522 i think defining what it means to be an ordinary woman is a patriarchal containment. who is normal and who is a woman. yoruba cosmologies in this case is abnormal-- straying away from the ordinary, and transforming an ordinary woman into a mad woman - santi https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939410497 2024-04-01 18:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939410497 individualism and lack of consideration for our relationality could be considered a sickness that manifests in others, due to the exploitation, purposeful thoughtlessness and/or carelessness of others. i think being neutral to these systems that create disproportionate illness in black, brown, and low-income communities is also also a contributing factor of individualism as an illness. why might someone not care? - santi https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939412582 2024-04-01 18:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939412582 privatized healthcare treatment and exclusion of low-income people, undocumented people, and people who don't have healthcare. why do people need to pay to have their health cared for? a small group of business pharmaceutical owners/healthcare owners receive profit from this, to the detriment of the working class, and those excluded from wealth distribution. - santi https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939415034 2024-04-01 18:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939415034 maybe becoming involved and finding self-fulfillment and joy through being in relations with community. whether this be plant kin, or hosting dinners, bbq's or shows. art and expression i think also plays an important role in this healing. being heard and seen, understood, and being understanding of others, can be self-affirming and in turn relationally affirming of others. - santi https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939418562 2024-04-01 19:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939418562 We see them also in educational inequalities. In marginalized communities with disproportionate allocations of resources, sacrifice zones are created where the potential for intellectual and personal growth is stifled, this potentially impacts mental well-being and opportunities of success. https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939418815 2024-04-01 19:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bennisee/4xba0ht8ui0yxmfm/wish/2939418815
