Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

I understood in the point of 'Vertical Role" and all..i do think it was a neat idea, and reminded me of the alienation effect. . .that didn't keep me from falling asleep though.  I usually enjoy grating, repetitive things, but this was ridiculous.  the violent noises and repetitive stream really did accentuate the objectification of her body and her 'play' within the moniter.  

I really enjoyed Martha Rosler's 'The East is Red, the West is Bending" was especially clever -  the  (purposefully) awkward attempt at teaching people how to make Asian food using an Americanized "non-primitive" method, the electric wok!  I liked the subtle satire, especially when it's aimed at American economics and consumption...she was so confident in her cooking abilities in her sunglasses..yet was reading from an instruction manual!  It was such a generic representation...I'm just not sure how that is necessarily feminist...is it just because she was a woman poineer in the film industry at the time?
