         <description><![CDATA[<div><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Descartes">René Descartes</a>: DUALISM (binary) "I THINK, THEREFORE, I AM." <br>White dude, google it. <br><br>🧠PROBLEMATIC PRIVILEGING OF MIND OVER BODY. <br>Discounts the body's intelligence and ability to process and ENTIRE CULTURES who do not value the TOP-DOWN epistemology of Western ideals. Allows bodies to be treated as OBJECTS.<br><br>OBJECTS can be commodified. Abused. Exploited. <br><br>"I FEEL, therefore I am?"<br><br>EMBODIMENT THEORY</div><blockquote><em>An embodiment perspective argues for the inextricable nature of identity and the body, one that can envision a body “beyond the binary of materiality or representation – the body not as an object but as an event.”  <br></em>(EG Research Paper pg. 3)</blockquote><div><em><br></em>Merleau-Ponty and SO MANY OTHERS </div><blockquote><em>"...learning to internally listen to one’s bodily signals and body language, to recognize and understand one’s needs and emotions as a means to feel alive in one’s body and one’s relationship to others and society, is argued as necessary for well-being and control, or, in our case, for coherence." <br></em>(EG Research Paper  pg. 4)</blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote><em>"Social media removes us from our corporeality, reinforcing the notion of a mind/body binary. Embodiment theory demonstrates the vital role of the body in attaining and maintaining a healthy, productive relationship to self and others in order to function in society. An identity lacking corporeality is already at risk for coherence, and without bodily involvement on social media, identity becomes an object which can be commodified."</em><br>(EG Research Paper  pg. 6)</blockquote>]]></description>

What if these technological habits are keeping us isolated in myopic bubbles, embedded in the constant present tense and vying for attention, and keeping us from looking widely and critically at our own actions the their potential effects on others?"

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Imagining BEYOND the DOMINANT reality.<br><br></div><blockquote>The clinging to internal boundaries of identity limits our imagination and creates a binary sense of self; a black-or-white, this-or-that understanding of who we are or can become. Here, I argue for expanding our understanding of distinctness so that we might imagine a future ontology not of “this or “that” as we can already articulate, but one we haven’t yet conceived. <br>(EG Thesis pg. 8-9)</blockquote><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Are we taking full advantage of the confusion of the border between the real and virtual? Are we taking enough responsibility in its construction, or are we blindly following technological trends? At the level of identity, how do we responsibly begin to dismantle former borders of signification and subjectification? To imagine new ways of defining ourselves and thus, defining and relating to others? (EG Thesis pg. 9)</blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>adrienne maree brown + Jonathan Van Ness touch on this concept --&nbsp; (54:30) -- by talking about boundaries in a different way. That we don't dissolve our borders and become so porous that we are carrying OTHER PEOPLE'S burdens. INTERdependence is finding how we are RIGHT RELATION with everyone/thing else but not completely LEANING ON or SUPPORTING someone/thing else.&nbsp;<br><br>INTERdependency can help us think about dismantling out INTERNAL borders because borders keep us in a state of COdependence or INdependence - neither of which are fluid or understanding our RELATION to one another / the earth / the universe and.. and.. and..</div>]]></description>
