Task #2

Abstract #1- British Journal of Social
Psychology; March 2004, Vol. 43 Issue 1, p99, 14p, 1
The research presented in this paper uses memory work
as a method to explore six women's collective constructions of two embodied
practices, sweating and pain. The paper identifies limitations in the ways in
which social constructionist research has theorized the relationship between
discourse and materiality, and it proposes an approach to the study of
embodiment which enjoins, rather than bridges, the discursive and the
non-discursive. The paper presents an analysis of 25 memories of sweating and
pain which suggests that Cartesian dualism is central to the women's accounts
of their experiences. However, such dualism does not operate as a stable
organizing principle. Rather, it offers two strategies for the performance of a
split between mind and body. The paper traces the ways in which dualism can be
both functional and restrictive, and explores the tensions between these two
forms. The paper concludes by identifying opportunities and limitations
associated with memory work as a method for studying embodiment.
Response:
This article was about using the memories of women to
figure out the Cartesian dualism or lack there of pain and sweating. It shows both the positive and negative sides
and the tension between both the mind and body.
I think that this article was interesting and I have my own opinions of
the Cartesian dualism. This article had
an interesting take in studying both the mind and the body and the factors that
effect the pain and sweating of the woman.

Task #5
G) This report was about reading directions carefully
and putting them into action mostly on the internet. It was very interesting experience for me
because for the most part I am very computer literate. Although I have never made a webpage with
links, or created a home page, I figured I could do it. Unfortunately I didn’t know how difficult it
would be for me. I learned a lot while
doing this report; mostly patience. I have
also learned how stressful the internet can be.
Although I am generally really good about following directions, I learned
to follow to a ‘T’. I also learned how
to monitor every single click and drag and ‘save’ button I pressed. It made me more aware of my actions and
errors that I made.
