Timeline for ATK Wikibook project

16/11/2018: Hi, just re caping from the last wiki book seminar. So were talking about doing imperialism and more specifically how this relates to scientific racism. Either how it’s manifested in the education system specifically in relation to the re education of indigenous people. Or, how it’s affected self perception and identity of ethnic groups, for example in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We also talked about the different angles we could approach such an issue for example through; art and art history, geopolitics, anthropology, sociology and biology.

20/11/2018 Came up with a second idea to consider which was street art and colonialism. Ideas for study were; How can the evolution of the structure of street art be explained by imperialism? (gangs in US claiming territory and space, about domination and hierarchy) or the use of street art as a political protest against an invading power such as in Latin America and Ireland.

23/11/2018 Also went to the library to find books on the topic of Scientific Racism and how its embedded in society. Arranged to have a meet up to discuss ideas for draft due on Wednesday 28th November.

24/11/2018 Made a brainstorming table etc in Sunniva’s sandbox to collect ideas around the topic and what content for the literary review.

27/11/2018 Discussed how to formulate research question and what to include in chapter. Ended up with the reproach question: To what extent is imperialism present in the advertisement of ‘whitening’ in Brazil and Indonesia. Our main arguments was to be; that ‘whitening’ as an ideology (in Brazil) and in the cosmetics industry (in Indonesia) was rooted in the country’s colonial legacy and modern imperialism with western values being spread by globalisation. We would focus on the social hierarchies created by colonialism, which lead to a manifestation of a white ideal, and what this white ideal has done to society.

28/11/2018 Discusses wiki book chapter in class. We got feedback that we needed to focus more on culture and its perception, as well as linking it more to the globalisation of western ideals. We discussed how to do this as a group and divided up some work.

29/11/2018 We debated if we really needed to include Indonesia in our discussion of the topic. We concluded that we would only focus on Brazil.

30/11/2018 Meeting.
