The White Web

Started to learn Dreamweaver today. What an amazing program. I'm delighted that I'm finding it pretty intuitive. It's going to make posssible my work on The White Web, my exploration of Cocteau, queerness, and multimodality. Here's a bit from the "intro":

How might multimodality figure queerness?

Of course, multimodal composing, the use of multiple media (text, image, video, sound) to figure queerness need not imply or forward any necessary ideological view, value, or assumption. Such valences are still part of both the conscious and the unconscious prerogative of the composer. But I do believe that exploring queerness through multimodality—that is, taking advantage of increasingly rich ways of figuring and composing—may help us develop richer insights into the experience of the queer, the possibilities of multimodal composing, and the possibilities (and limits) of figuring the queer.

Even more specifically, how might multimodality embody the queer in dynamic dimensions? We can read, see, hear, perhaps even touch the queer—and have it touch us through multiple senses, potentially even interactively.

Of course, there is no one experience of the queer.

And there can be—and should not be—one way to figure the multiple experiences of the queer.

How, then, will we proceed?

How indeed!!
