MANTRAFESTO
Alex. "Feminist Online Spaces | Building & Linking Principled Sites in Collaboration." Feminist Online Spaces. Feminist Online Spaces, 14 Oct. 2011. Web. 03 Mar. 2014. http://www.feministonlinespaces.com/.
Summary:
Although we are not really pulling any information from this piece, the literary style and language infrastructure along with Anne's use of it in our Critical Feminist Studies Class has been very influential in my thinking and writing. I have interpreted mantrafesto’s as a declarative and authoritative stream of consciousness style of writing, however its fragmented nature allows for more language or voices to enter this narrative. I am not sure if that makes ANY SENSE...?
I think of it as the conversation we had about feminism all last semester. We all were talking about the same topic but could never come up with a cohesive definition. I believe this was due to our different backgrounds and orientations to feminism. At first this was very frustrating, however I grew to appreciate and even embrace the accepted and respected difference in our classroom. I saw our cohort as a BIG MANTRAFESTO: as we were constantly contributing new voices/silences/ideologies/thoughts/emotions relating to feminism into our collective conversations, but also individual consciousness'.
