INSTANT ANSWER

Scholars Kathleen Battles and Joy E. Hayes insist that the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast “remains relevant for understanding broadcasting and new media because it raises enduring questions about ‘new’ media conventions, audiences, and power” (Battles and Hayes, 224). Pooley and Socolow also call attention to the “fear that always accompanies the excitement of new media” (Pooley and Socolow, 5) For your reflection this week, address the following prompt: Listen to the War of the Worlds. What aspects, if any, did you find alarming? Even if the reports of terrified listeners were overexaggerated, explain why some listeners at that time responded with fear. More important, what circumstances surrounding this event remain relevant to us today and why? In other words, what lessons can we draw from this history?

As Elizabeth Escobedo states, “playing the part of the pachuca represented a liberating experience that provided them with a sense of personal freedom and control. But many so-called pachucas also learned all too quickly the limits of their individuality and autonomy” (44). In your response this week, discuss how Latinx women labeled as “pachucas” cultivated racial pride and personal independence while also contending with discriminatory practices. In what ways did they subvert conventional gender roles? How were they perceived by those in their own communities and by white reformers outside of their communities?

Eric Lott refers to the popularity of blackface minstrelsy as a “complex dialectic: an unsteady but continual oscillation between fascination with ‘blackness’ and fearful ridicule of it, underscored but not necessarily determined by an oscillation between sympathetic belief in blackface's authenticity and ironic distance from its counterfeit representation” (Lott, " 'The Seeming Counterfeit': Racial Politics and Early Blackface Minstrelsy," 227). Your task is to read both pieces by Lott and Berry and locate those tensions between fascination and ridicule, envy versus insult, or perceived authenticity versus phony representation. Look for examples in the texts that demonstrate this dialectic and discuss why you think these examples are illustrative of this dialectic.
