I've really enjoyed #ungrading this past quarter! There is a lot to be said for integrating the form of a class with the content.

SIG members @jenn_blaylock, @NicHentrich, and Lisa Jacobson ran an excellent session on experiments in #ungrading at #SCMS23. They've graciously assembled materials to share with everyone! Link below. @SCMStudies drive.google.com/drive/folde…

.@dickgirldebord : act of viewing a film like this, with its admittedly distressing scenes, is difficult but can act as an adaptive mechanism for dealing with trauma - act of viewing as "limit consent" #C30 #scms23

.@dickgirldebord : viewing alternative & queer pleasure following traumatic ones allows you to create different connections & associations in the brain, helping to process (see a wounded woman thrive in her pleasure) rather than simply traumatizing for its own sake #C30 #scms23

Heidi Ka-Sin Lee: "all these dispositive effects activated by the close-up center on the lesbians' intense interiority, involuntarily juxtaposed with the actresses' own star and screen personae" from close-up dispositive effects to a broader "sapphic dispositif"? #c30 #scms24

Heidi Ka-Sin Lee: The sapphic dispositif symptomatic of demand for exploration of women's feelings & thoughts, re-centering of white supremacy through stars' normative whiteness, & shift in female representation to present more authentic & unexaggerated femininity #c30 #scms24
