Does anybody proofread anymore?

Not often or carefully enough, I tend to read what I wanted to say. though with stiff arthritic typo-fingers, I do look for misspelled words being marked. However, I also usually have little problem deciphering what other persons were trying to say when what they write is somewhat unclear.

However, it seems a course in ENGL 103 or 104 is a prerequisite to comprehend the manifesto seen below (truncated, and paragraphs added), "Reading and Writing Gender and Sexuality ENGL 214," which is the work of a feminist wordcrafter in wokeducation:

"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,..animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise.

At once world-building and world-shattering, representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity... Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies... Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity...

As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."

This counts toward the methods requirement for the major. Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104. Open only to first-year and sophomore students.

Author is Brianna Thompson, who teaches courses in American women’s literature, queer theory and utopias/Afrofuturism at Kenyon college (founded by Episcopal Bishop in 1824). https://www.kenyon.edu/academics/departments-and-majors/english/academic-program-requirements/courses-in-english/
