Week 11. Virtual empathy and community

April 11 & 13

Skillshares

Imani, Olivia, Yacob, Nickie

Readings

• Lisa Nakamura, “Feeling good about feeling bad: virtuous virtual reality and the automation of racial empathy”, Journal of Visual Culture, 19(1), 47–64

• Rebecca Solnit, Paradise Built in Hell, 2009. Let’s read the Prelude, “Falling Together” (pages 1-10), as well as the Epilogue, “The Doorway in Ruins” (pages 305-313). And if you have time I suggest you try reading one chapter in the middle; I recommend “What Difference Would it Make?” (pages 231-246).

Examples

I’d also like to take some time in class this week to watch some of the below videos:
