    The proliferation of video and television harmed Western values too.

    Low-res summary from me:

    a) Weiner: proliferation of video

    b) Weiner: video harming indigenous culture

    As a philosophy minor, RC is starting to make so much more sense if I approach it the way I approach philosophical texts.

    I can't be the only one who finds it hysterical he's named Weiner.

    one group of the divide (James Weiner group) sees proliferation (don't know what this word is without a dictionary so let's move on) something about video and television is the final result of Western values on Indigenous culture - so is this the imputation of Western life = colonization?

    Weiner argues video is a devaluation - decrease value- of the different (of the Indigenous? do devalue them) why? resulting in replacing a genuine historical, linguistic, social, cultural difference and difference of images the difference of Indigenous life and Western and difference in portrayal to reality. 

    Weiner believes vid techniques push a Western ontology - isnt ideology but let's go w the word ontology whatever that is... something based on realism, immediacy, and self-expression.... so the videographers think they're doing something good like a documentary?

    So Weiner concludes that these vids take away the Indigenous culture being filmed. 

    Maintains that anthropologists attribute a paramount truth value to these films (over Indigenous reality?) because they are made by Indigenous people (not really they are just ON Indigenous people) are theoretically naive (because they don't know as much as a visual anthropologist? says who? because they might use inexpensive camera equipment or be oppressed? ok not convincing.

    I yesterday took the PT in which this passage is found. It's cool to see it again. I had already done some of the new RC modules before taking the passage, and I did pretty well on it (-2, -0 BR). Having known the basics of Critique & Debate was a great help, even if I had just started on them the day prior.

    Really glad you guys updated the curriculum.
