#hwa6 #finaltweetthread Sylvia Wynter believes that us existing as human isn’t a fact but a constructed genre. Throughout social conditions we’re taught there’s one genre of human that’s overly presented and others that are underrepresented

#hwa6 #finaltweetthread first we talked about moral narratives and ethical storytelling. This explains how stories, film and media tend to evolve into a morally good or bad peice of media. The need for right or wrong doings always seems to find its way in media

8. The segment regarding Wynter's contributions then ties back to the second-person address in DLMBL by almost making it more accessible / inclusive after the breakdown of human identity as she provides reasoning / support for its expansion #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

7. Wynter is focusing on the minute, yet insanely critical details that are passively mentioned / discussed, but whose severity and depth isn't questioned to this level (the "Western" ideas). She highlights the impact of this idea in our experience receiving pieces like DLMBL #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

6. Sylvia Wynter essentially challenges the understanding of what constitutes human experience. She has a strong focus on intersectionality in an effort to provide a well-rounded perspective that enables us to better understand + question the definition and its development #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

5. "You" encompasses more than just a person. It almost refers to an undefined defined audience. It's almost like a CALL that leads us to engage via imagination, questioning/confusion, and essentially creates a dedicated room for thoughts and immersion #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

3. Form vs. image go hand-in-hand in terms of influencing understanding/perception to relay a message that can only be received upon exploration. Ex: the TVs with static are supporting the intentional lack of clarity throughout the piece, highlighting the unusual environment #hwa6 #finaltweetthread

2. More specifically, DLMBL serves as an anti-environment by creating discomfort and possibly confusion (for me lol). EX: Switching between topics, presenting information in unusual ways, communicating indirectly (ex: static tv), and including "odd" things (focus on liver) #hwa6 #finaltweetthread
