…we are on the same page and I am hella juiced, because I know that my ability to connect with her means that I will do what I need to do to get everything done.
I am working on an interdiscplinary paper on Black Women’s sexuality and I was on her shit list, two weeks ago. I failed to turn in something at a time that I agreed and rather than say something I was silent, until I collected and created the materials. I won’t be doing that again. I am scared of NARY human being except for her. Trust. Her and God. Lol.
So yesterday, I got my annotations to her, albiet Tuesday morning and NOT Monday Night (progress not perfection) and she blew my byrd.
Basically she helped me to understand Kara Keeling’s ideas of Sensory Motor and how when we view visual images our senses are activated (touch, taste, smell, sight, sound) and then we respond through moving our bodies, and that leaves an imprint on us.
I understand that bodies have histories and narratives of their own. But I didn’t understand what Keeling was saying until yesterday.
Second, she used Pam Grier as an example. My adviser is from the Caribbean, and she used Pam Grier’s presence in the L Word to show how cliche’s, and sensory motory experiences work together. For instance, in the L Word Grier wasn’t just Kat, there were traces of Foxy Brown, the protector in her character, given the ways in which she was a protector of that community.

At one point in our conversation my adviser got hella juiced and animated. And I was like, I still don’t get this sensory motor stuff. So she asked me, “Why am I getting so excited talking about Pam Grier?” And I responded, oh, because it reminds you of good time from the past. She responded precisely. This is what Keeling is getting at, how film images trigger sensory motor response and the implication’s that this has for the Black female body.
That is the first way she blew my byrd. The second was I was reading Jaqueline Bobo’s Black Women as Cultural Readers. In this book, Bobo interviews groups of Black women after they have watched The Color Purple and Waiting to Exhale. My adviser noted that if I notice during the readings that different authors are talking about the same text, then I need to note that. In this case it is Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust. So, I mentioned to my adviser that Bobo found that Black women distinguised between Walker’s book and Speilberg’s film and she concluded that Black women negotiate images that are presented to them, that they are not passive recipients.
Well, she blew my byrd when she said that her students last year were not interested in reading Ntozake Shange’s choreo poem, but they really wanted to see the film and she said that contrasted directly with Bobo’s finding. She then went on to say that these are the kinds of connects that she wants me to make when I am reading. That she saw this, and that she wants me to see this is both inspiring and challenging. I don’t know if I can do it, but I am going to try. Besides I am learning how to play chess, so I can pretty much do anything lol.
You have a cool adviser in school?
Why or why not?
Why is it that some people MAKE you want to work hard for them?
