Presentation ideas

sorry to bug you all today-i hope yoou are not too stressed with the work load ( I AM!). Clare.x

Just a few thoughts...

We like the idea of playing with ridiculous academese, and we talked about doing the presentation gameshow style.

We could do a panel game, like Jeopardy if you know it, where the show host provides the answer in academese then the contestants have to come up with the question.

So, for example: The answer is - a metaphsical presence who appropriates the highest subjective position within the celestial body, at times within a pantheon, but most usually as a divine unity.

The contestants then press the buzzer and guess the question which, in this example, is: 'What is God?'

The contestants could get it wrong lots of times when the answer (from the host) is academese, but get it correct when it is in more acessible language.

We could then also get the host to cut to video shots of some answers provided by the public and again the contestants have to guess the question.

Because Butler has done this topic before we need to do it with another angle. We could do it through a Derridian lense-that of the Metaphsics of Presence, or a reverse derridian lense. (i cant remember which way round he prioritises-speech or writing?-will look this up in a mo)

This would hightlight how Butler writes in complicated language, but when she speaks she is much easier to understand.
