The Wired Guide to online video. I think these articles contain everything I need for Unit 3!

I have been thinking about tweaking the units a bit.

Unit 1: Still the timeline, still "visual culture" as topic. Can I fit McLuhan in here? Maybe drop Gitlin?
Unit 2: Body, gender, identity as topic, photo essay as genre: add Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman, Girl Culture, from Plato to OJ?
Unit 3: The camera, the visual as subject: the end of narrative, film as database, the spectacle, the visual artifact as worthy of consideration. A lot of the online videos would help, maybe the avante garde sites in particular. Need to find the right readings.

Unit 4: still open.
