Consumer Media. This is not a term I have heard or read anywhere, or at least I hope to God that I haven't. I seem to believe that I made this up, though it is almost certain that I did not. Nonetheless, I love talking about it. It may seem redundant, but then so is the ubiquitous and constant permeation of our collective consciousness with hegemonic programming: normalizing practices which are lucrative for others. So many of my projects: interrogating the practices of makeup, smoking, engagements and weddings; all of these inquiries are interested in looking more closely at the programmatic methodologies by which we have been shaped and molded. By which we have been taught and have learned how to love, to judge, to fear, to desire.
Ring, Ring. It's my mother on the phone. Tomorrow to teach class and present my review of another feminist's work about feminist work. I am looking to send this review away for publication, fingers crossed.
