The sketch propose a documentary following players outside of the context of the game and following how the game fits into their daily lives. Assesing the relevance of the game into their daily lives and how it fits in their social context might give further insight about the implications of the design.
The sketch proposes that the text could be presented in the form of an educational module for U.S. and South African children. It also suggests that the text could be presented on an educational online platform with interactive features and a historical archive of photos, videos, etc.
Renick proposed to have the material in this book made into a professional development session for teachers and counselors. The various healing practices would be role played in this workshop and followed by quotes from Ginwright’s ethnographic interviews.
Following this approach, what are the ways we could expand this approach over a longer duration, beyond just one session? Could it be developed into a larger training curriculum? Would they be held accountable for implementing these practices afterward? What visuals would be used? Discussions on how these healing justices in some ways can be generalized across contexts, but what might need to change in this model for their specific classroom or community?
This outline gave me a very clear picture of what this text is about, who the main actors are, and the theoretical framing of the text. The civic engagement part was the only thing that seemed unclear to me and the role it plays in the text.
The sketch proposes both a documentary to "play around with showing the webcam (and how it shapes communication practices) through a camera” and a "shared museum exhibit” to "a live stream between two exhibits at different museums and patrons at one museum can sit and chat with patrons at the partner museum.” These seem compelling and a great way to get participants, particularly lay people who are interested, involved.
"It could be presented as a set of stories or a historically-based novel about contemporary Zanzibar, tourism, and the perspective of locals navigating those spaces, like what opportunities, nostalgias, and conservatisms does this new era provoke in these varied characters."
The sketch strives to relay the ethnography beyond the monograph by proposing potential forms of circulation, drawing together certain important themes and how they might be generalizable for different interested parties, and effective manners for conveying the information via alternative modalities. By drawing together various theorists and themes mentioned in the text to audiences such as anthropologists, academics, Middle Eastern studies, and feminists, the sketch provides an opportunity for readers to determine manners in which they might apply this text to their own work. Through her assertion that the text is generalizable, audiences can gain a sense of how the cultural constructions of motherhood and women from different socio-geographic standpoints might be written about in locations other than Egypt, and include women across the borders of the nation-state and/or do not identify with a nation-state, rendering an opportunity to decolonize the literature. The proposal for other modes of expression provides an opportunity to examine more in-depth the biological aspects of the text, drawing on medical anthropology to comprehend the remedies and medicines being used to treat infertility. I appreciated this proposal, but would have liked to learn more about how Western biomedicine is brought up in the text and what the author's view is of its impact on Egyptian women. I would also be curious to learn a bit more about the actual responses of women, even if it is just a sampling, so I can get a sense of what the women themselves think of the pressures being placed on their bodies by patriarchal understandings of womanhood. Finally, I would like to know at least some of the specific theory that is being brought up in the text, as this might inform whether the audience would want to engage with this text if it fits within their interests/research projects.
This sketch proposes for the text to be reproduced within medical research institutions by highlighting empirical evidence collected from online forums and correspondence streams in order to exhibit the patient’s care seeking journey. I think that this proposal could be helpful in that it would allow the individuals providing/facilitating care to understand more about the other side of the process through a lens that is still accepted within the medical field in that it is a data driven (evidence-based) format.
"This would be effectively presented in a documentary or a dramatic film or play."
I agree with Mary. However, I wonder how given the subject of this study (male migration, U.S./Mexico border) it can be relayed in a more unexpected form that might go beyond reproducing the popular images of migration.
The sketch proposes to make an interactive digital conversation piece. The general public will then be able to chat online with a bot designed to represent the experiences described in the book, or with artists/ the author/ interested participants. This idea seems interesting. As the book itself is about the use of internet, using internet itself to illustrate the arguments can be inspiring.
