So, here we are. Today's post is one I am not pushing to social media because it's JUST for my current CONCORDIA STUDENTS, though I may use some of these instructional videos in future classes at other schools (because Concordia Portland is closing).
Likely, right now, only my Concordia student land here. However, if you are someone who checks my blog from time to time, this note demonstrates the purpose of all these videos.
Following, you will find the videos for two class periods (one a set of three and the other a set of two) followed by notes for each class.

CULTURE JAM CONTENT pt.1
- Today’s class is dedicated
to content that you could use in your projects. Not just suggestions of content
but also ideas for types of content.
- Book of the day #1 - A
People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn
- Show blog post about
Columbus and read
- These are memes. The
“history” of Columbus as an intrepid explorer to be admired is a corporate
meme. Here the corporation is the white-European men who colonized the new
world for profit and gain without regard for the “savage” societies that were
indigenous to the land. Historical accounts taught to children glorified a
genocidal maniac as a great historical figure giving him his own holiday and
rhyming story to hide the truth of the horrors perpetrated to occupy this land
and construct the nation through slavery and brutality.
- Book of the day #2 - Wacky
Packages
- Satire is a form of
meta-meme - one that counteracts the happy, mindnumb effects of consumerism.
These stickers “demarketed” products in the vein of Mad Magazine, one of
the greatest examples of satire in the 20th century.
- Show Mad Magazine
blog.
- THE TRUE IS A MOMENT OF
THE FALSE
“In a world that is really
upside-down, the true is a moment of the false”: this summary, which is the
best of the thought of the situationist philosopher Guy Debord, is also the
aphorism that is most often quoted, sometimes to the point of nausea, by people
of all types.
“critical longevity”
The Society of the
Spectacle’s critical longevity can be partly attributed to Debord’s refusal to
describe the spectacle’s form. By focusing instead on the spectacle’s
ever-shifting qualities, Debord encourages the reader to scrutinize the world
around them. It is for this reason that the book is routinely celebrated for
its prescience. A contemporary reader can readily apply Debord’s analysis to
the fracturing of the media industry, the rise of the internet, or to the use
of social media. Note how Debord starts multiple sentences with the phrase “the
spectacle is…”:
The spectacle is the other
side of money: it is the general abstract equivalent of all commodities. –
Thesis 49
The spectacle is nothing
more than an image of happy unification surrounded by desolation and fear at
the tranquil center of misery. – Thesis 63
The spectacle is absolutely
dogmatic and at the same time cannot really achieve any solid dogma. – Thesis
71
DANK MEMES
Dank meme refers to viral
internet content that, due to overuse or passing trends, has lost its value or
currency. It can also refer to exceptionally unique or odd memes.
Deep Fried Memes - Memes that imitate and
exaggerate the degradation of hood culture influenced images.

the point where the image appears grainy, washed-out, and ...

CULTURE JAM CONTENT
- Today’s class is dedicated to MORE content
that you could use in your projects. Not just suggestions of content but also
ideas for types of content.
“Tell the truth but tell it slant”
~ Emily Dickinson
BITCH by Elizabeth Wurtzel
I read a bit from this book after explaining
its purpose. The readings contains some colorful and adult language that some
may consider vulgar! The language is not meant to be vulgar. It’s meant to be
empowering of feminism and the independence and individual strength of women.
Next we examine this site:
BITCH MEDIA
“Of course, we shouldn’t expect filmmakers to
guarantee verisimilitude or to influence public opinion about the media. They
might, however, better reflect the challenges facing journalism, freedom of
speech, and American democracy if they search out fresh stories. In a time when
43 percent of Republicans believe the president should have the power to shut
down media outlets and when the horror of being shot in a U.S. newsroom has
gone from the hyperbolic ending of a morality tale to a rare but real
possibility, the truth about television news continues to be far scarier than
fiction.”

industry stats

amazingly
MEDIA ADDICTIVE AND
MANIPULATIVE
SOME PARTS of the Culture Jam book on
media addiction and manipulation
CULTURE JAM BOOK
“Art Moore”
- There’s gate keepers on the message - pgs
32-33
- “we’re mummified” - pg. 12
Layer upon layer of
mediated artifice come
between us and the
world until we are mummified. The commercial
mass media are
rearranging our neurons, manipulating our emotions,
making powerful new
connections between deep immaterial needs
and material
products. So virtual is the hypodermic needle that we
don't feel it. So
gradually is the dosage increased that we're not aware
of the toxicity.
“Demarketing Chic”

fast food, the spectacle (pgs 165-183)
SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION
Here’s some interesting resources that may
inspire you...

Hitler himself
said, “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people
see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.
Think about all the subtext in that quote!!
A collection of so many great articles!
and LOGICAL FALLACIES
STRAW MAN
Is “Fake
News” real?
Are any of the news media outlets trying to
be objective and to report facts?
Do you have a bias filter?
Is CNN less biased than Fox News? The same?
More? Is either “accurate”?
QUORA is not a legitimate source because of
the nature of the platform but it’s an interesting place to get ideas....
WHAT IS FAST COMPANY? WHO OWNS IT?

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
