you need write 3 short essay.first one :250wordssecond one: 250wordsthird one: 350 wordsI will give you a pdf which contain the detail“By slow violence I mean a violence that occurs gradually and out of sight, a
violence of delayed destruction that is dispersed across time and space, an attritional
violence that is typically not viewed as violence at all. Violence is customarily
conceived as an event or action that is immediate in time, explosive and spectacular
in space, and as erupting into instant sensational visibility.
We need, I believe, to engage a different kind of violence, a violence that is neither
spectacular nor instantaneous, but rather incremental and accretive, its calamitous
repercussions playing out across a range of temporal scales. In so doing, we also
need to engage the representational, narrative, and strategic challenges posed by
the relative invisibility of slow violence. Climate change, the thawing cryosphere,
toxic drift, biomagnification, deforestation, the radioactive aftermaths of wars,
acidifying oceans, and a host of other slowly unfolding environmental catastrophes
present formidable representational obstacles that can hinder our efforts to mobilize
and act decisively” (Nixon 2011: 2).
Question 1:
1. Write your own land recognition. This can be of the UCI campus, where you were
born, where you grew up, a place that is simply special to you, or even the whole
planet (which basically covers all of these aforementioned places). You might even
write a land recognition for a place that you wish existed – Wakanda, Never Never
Land, SpongeBob’s underwater reef… or a place that you make up, entirely of your
own creation. The idea is to consider the relationship that you have to the land upon
which you sit, sleep, walk, and breathe. Minimum: 250 words
Question 2:
2. Drawing from Aleut Eve Tuck’s definitions of “damage-based” and “desire-based”
research, as discussed in class (see class PowerPoints and Discussion posts), what
is an issue, or what are issues (people or places) that you would want to represent
differently than current or previous mass media or academic scholars have?
Minimum: 250 words
Tuck defines “damage-based research as in itself also damaging, operating,
“even benevolently, from a theory of change that establishes harm or injury in order
to achieve reparation.” She is challenging researchers who come from outside
communities to consider who the “us” is in the research, how only showing the
colonial and continuing harms can pathologize people, particularly when they are not
involved in the considerations of research design and what is considered “fact” or
“evidence” … Desire-based research frameworks are concerned with understanding
complexity, contradiction, and the self-determination of lived lives” (Tuck 2009: 416).
Question 3:
What is the most, or among the most disturbing or compelling examples of
“slow violence” (Nixon 2011) that you wish to highlight? Cite at least two passages
from Nixon to support your choice. You are welcome to choose from among the
course examples (the most recent case studies of nuclear, fossil fuels, or pesticide
toxicity) or from earlier in the course (fast fashion, plastics, etc…) or beyond the class
examples. It is up to you. AGAIN – You must engage and cite Nixon’s work, however,
to support your choice of an example. Minimum: 350 words
