FROM THE EDITORS: In May 2007, Jonathan began several weeks of work at the Digital Media & Composition (DMAC) institute at the Ohio State University. Invited by Cindy Selfe to be one of four visiting scholars, he played with Dreamweaver, immersed himself in YouTube, and indulged his obsession with Jean Cocteau. We're providing a link to his blog from DMAC in order to set the stage for a MEAT-specific piece on queer rhetoric in volume 3.
Sometimes, just a question... I, like many I presume, enjoy being the object of desiring gazes--at times. How might the desiring gaze shift, be refigured, be rendered via digital media? To mediate on this, a quicktime video... The pictures are stills from Jean Genet's rarely seen short film (his only film effort) Un Chant d'Amour. The video is currently at YouTube.
