re:Brachiation : "a rope of sand"


hey team
Martyna, I have to commend you for you research thus far, you seem to be taking quite a lead on the research and the project as a whole here. I'd say the breakdown is pretty sweet, though I think the racial, linguistic, literary and possibly even religious sub-categories all fall under the banner of cultural. and I must admit i can't recall enough instances of the individual sub-categories occurring in the novel (think its big enough to be considered a novel) to warrant a separate section, plus there's the possibility due to overlap of looping back to the same if not similar references in presentation. I guess it all hinges on if we are sticking with our decision to limit the projected slides to predominantly images. With the prevalence of images these demarcations would be hard to make. Though certainly breaking it down as you've mentioned would be perfect in introducing the concept of hybridity, and i do think the background in brief of Said & Bhaba's concept are better placed at the start, in the sense of referencing them and not speaking extensively about them especially if we are going to use the concepts in summation.
Thanks for all the work guys seems like we got one hell of a presentation on our hands.
Any ideas on the skits yet?
Considering going with the font on the cover of the book (above) for the slides, any thoughts?
