Am doing a proj on tourism n came upon this term 'staged authenticity' by MacCannell. think its very true.. in our modern soc today, it really is not enuf to BE a man, u need to ACT like one to be perceived as one. Juz like Jac, juz coz she seems sweet and submissive, many guys fall for her. But the thing is she isnt weak or needs protecting, she is independant, juz that its not enuf to be independant, u have to act it nowadays. so true... life has become a performance, we cant juz be woman, we must 'act' woman- whatever our societal norms define that as i.e. pink, long rebonded hair,submissive,sit with legs neatly crossed... authenticity has been redefined and recreated..even myself, i wonder how many times i subconsciously act in a certain way to convince pple of my identity as woman, chinese, student, independance etc... |

Argh.. i need help...Was trying to update my older blog at Motime but i cant type a thing in the text box and it seems there's some error with the formatting or my comp or the server...other pple seem able to post like normal but i cant even type in that box..there's supposed to be some new features that let u choose text type n size but i see no such thing on my screen at all...shucks is this punishment for not posting for too long? i miss my old blog... |
| i hate myself for being mad. my proj on tourism has been dragging for so long n there's been so many prob..after changing topic for like 5-6 times, there are PR prob and now time constraints and we cant even find a common time to meet...im nearly exploding.. really not used to proj work. why cant they juz let us write indiv essays? i'd prefer that over proj anyday...this one is taking more time n angst than all my other essays combined...arghhh!! |
