Is there a way to have the passage sections be uploaded to the lessons so we can follow along if we want? I would like to have them in my notes without screenshotting the videos.
@VenessaO77 If you make a custom RC drill you can select the passage. I took the first sentence or so of the first paragraph and put it into the RC drill search bar, then ran the passage myself untimed before coming back to the lesson.
I am not Latin American, but I quickly understood it because it's dead easy to understand that a colonial gaze is the just the impacts of a majority colonial perspective of media.
This passage really shows me how much certain vocabulary makes me struggle. I can easily understand this passage (it's my discipline and topic) yet I really struggle with the more technical ones (ie. non social sciences). I think this demonstrates that I have let myself get distracted with the vocab, since if I can understand this one, I should be able to understand any of the passages -if I don't let the vocab get in my way. All this is to say, I need to focus more on the grammar and structure and less on unfamialiar words.
I personally divided this first paragraph into two sections. I first thought that "introduce debate" was enough, but I think there's a stark contrast between the opening and the closing of the paragraph.
Decades trying to get rid of (unself-conscious) colonial gaze (factor) in early ethnographic (studying something for a length of time) films, visual anthropologists (the people making ethnographic films?) from the industrialized West (specifically) who study Indigenous cultures are struggling RIGHT NOW with a more profound transformation than trying to eliminate the colonial gaze in early ethnographic films... so visual anthropologists aren't who make those films? we're just saying there are people doing something harder?
Indigenous people now documenting themselves instead of settlers filming them. Why? inexpensive camera equipment! but don't get so excited. this phenomenon has a divided reaction from western anthropologists. Prediction? the Emma (me) group that think this is great to not be filmed like guinea pigs or capitalize on adversities and the others who want to continue capitlizing OR if they think they hav an eye and are better at documenting.
this is how I was reading this - only way to keep me from falling asleep was putting commentary on what i was reading and making my studying take wayyyyy longer.
Im procrastinating so lemme explain a lil. A film maker has lots of tricks at their disposal to give things meaning. Like when a nature documentary gives every lion in a pride a name, and plays sappy music when they groom eachother. Early colonizers did this too, either consciously or subconciously, thus making indigenous peoples seem one way, even if they're not. For example, perhaps film makers of the time paid particular attention to indigenous song and dance, so when the film in shown to other colonists, they assume that all indigenous people do is sing and dance. The colonial gaze is similar to the male gaze because it is a way of seeing the "other" as a stereotype and not as a people, and it also perpetuates those stereotypes to others rant over :D

Dude I did the stain glass RC a few days ago it was so bad!

@RuthOlvera I am also Latin American and understood right off the bat too
@RuthOlvera

No shade but the topic wasn’t boring, learning about anti colonialism pro indigenous perseveration is interesting
I can tell even Kevin trying to understand the passage makes his brain hurt

Anyone taking the June LSAT? I feel like I am behind and I am stressed out.
holy crap i feel the same way. I feel so confident yet so nervous.
Kevin's got a good sense of humor, confirmed.

a) introduce topic/context
b) highlight debate
the male gaze LMAO
when i grow up i wanna be kevin
I'm glad that even the people who teach the LSAT for a living admit that its creators are demons.
listening to Kevin explain this was hilarious.

Drilling mud and stained glass are both very interesting to me due to various species of worms in my brain.

I'm not gonna lie Kevin, the beginning of this video made me chuckle.
The drilling mud passage was the end of me
