I am sick to death of bonding through kinship and ‘the family,’ and I long for models of solidarity and human unity and difference rooted in friendship, work, partially shared purposes, intractable collective pain, inescapable mortality, and persistent hope.

Definitions from Imageneing (my dissertation)
Imagene: how technologies of gender and race intersect and interact with biological and cultural discourses…(9).
Gaslight: with causing changes in memory and with the perception of experience or how we come to experience and remember things (11).
Rhetoric: is the use of technology to gaslight (35).
Technology: are mediums (e.g., cinema) and modes (e.g., institutional discourses) with power to create, destroy, and maintain the field of semiotic meaning and, thus, produce, promote, and “implant,” and experience representations (34).
