Journal #9

What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides her work)?
Katrina wants to understand how the student represents themselves in their writings and how the school guidelines affect them. Therefore, Katrina has divided the students self representation into three different stages, reproducing dominant discourses, resisting dominant discourses, and negotiating the tension.

How does this author collect the data she needs to answer her question?
Powell collects her data by conducting three case studies with different scenarios that are all possible in the college atmosphere.

What sort of genres do you see your peers using as forms of “self-representation”?
It is a common notion that we as people surround ourselves with people we are like, or how we wish to represent ourselves. My peers use the comical Rasta genres we are like old beach bums just wanting to have a little fun and live life.

Journal #8

What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides his work)?
The writer is trying to find out more about the how the band originated, and how it came into its own. What makes them – them basically. Why they are unique, and how they became that way.
What sort of texts or sources does the author quote from to build his argument?
The writer uses previous songs and articles about songs that are said to be fake, or re-written, not original.
In what ways do you see others around you attempting to establish their “authenticity”?
Although others strive to be original most, of this “authenticity” is just stereotypes of a specific style, genre or lifestyle. People today have lost themselves in the hype what is first and foremost socially acceptable, they mimic the old fashions and try to put their own spin on it. But what is satirical is that this originality is brought about the media, people get their ideas from everywhere, everything that they see.
