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.
People who write like this need to be shot! You know their only goal is to pretend to be smarter than they actually are. They pretend that their degrees in underwater basketweaving deserve an ounce of respect by making simple topics seem more complicated than they are. Their strategy is to go to the grant office to ask for funding and despite their actual projects are the equivalent of catching 3 butterflies, they pretend that their projects are as important as holding up the heavens by using complex jargon to confuse the simple minded. God, I hate these people so much!
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.
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.
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

I'm glad that even the people who teach the LSAT for a living admit that its creators are demons.

Anyone taking the June LSAT? I feel like I am behind and I am stressed out.

Dude I did the stain glass RC a few days ago it was so bad!
No shade but the topic wasn’t boring, learning about anti colonialism pro indigenous perseveration is interesting
I'm not gonna lie Kevin, the beginning of this video made me chuckle.

Hummhh! LSAT writers make the test more difficult because they are frustrated? Me: Dude, chill, I will get you a coffee!

Drilling mud and stained glass are both very interesting to me due to various species of worms in my brain.
bruh I just finished the RC module like a week or two ago and you guys now come out with this to replace it -.- crying
That's a good thing, no? Double the content if you need it!
I can tell even Kevin trying to understand the passage makes his brain hurt

'male gaze' vs 'colonial gaze'
now im imagining a bunch of colonials gawking at hot chicks
