Photo Assignment #8, DATE CHANGE Nov. 10, Thurs



Take a look at a fashion blog (this could be one of the assigned ones, or a different one)-- choose a picture that sparks a thought about what's going on here.
Performance of self? Analyze the blog in one of the terms we've been discussing: identity created through commodity/consumption? Performance of age, subculture, gender, sexuality? (And how those things are enacted through commodity...)

What might Guy Debord say about the phenomenon of the fashion blog? Is it the apotheosis of the Society of the Spectacle, or might self-fashioning and self-publication function as detournement? What do you think?
