As the infograph begins, mixed race people are often ostracized, neglected, and even considered physiologically and psychologically unfit. Many terms are thrown their way such as 'bodily maladjusted,' 'bastards,' 'subjugated inhabitants,' and many more. Anti-miscegenation laws were even implicated to address the problem that feared everyone, mostly the considered white superiors. Perhaps one of the most interesting propaganda used to dismay any commitment of two distinct racial groups is the promoted social construct of ‘blood purity’ aiming to discourage ‘racial degradation’ and the presence of the ‘unacceptable colored man.’
This infograph diverges into two umbrella definitions that aligns all insults and exclusion phrases to “Deviants” and “Outcasts,” both of which are pinned congruently next to the mixed race people. As Teo’s article have stated, these instances of racial issues have survived the past, and, as we can see, still continues today through media, culture, and even education among the youth.
This infograph aims to leave awareness to young readers that continuing issues of race and racism surrounding the mixed race lingers even today.
An interesting analysis of current article headlines and how society still retains the notion that mixed race people are considered to be undesirable and inferior. The artist statement nicely supports the message of the infograph and does not need improvement.
ReplyDeleteI loved the "headlines" in the beginning. They hooked me into reading the rest of your infograph. Using the same concept you concluded your infograph, which was very useful in relating it to modern times. Great way to analyze both terms from the week's themes and comparing them in regards to race.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy how the piece is very artistic info-graphic, less words but a lot more powerful. It mainly defined how mixed race can be an outcast, deviants within the society, and using headlines to give specific examples of how they are getting mistreated. The artist statements explains the piece further very well. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like the definition/analysis on the explicit words that were the theme of week 4. Graphically, the infographic is visually pleasing maybe include source links for more credibility. The statement goes well with the artwork, but maybe explain more on why you included news headlines.
ReplyDeleteYour group took the basic definition of mixed-race and broke it down into how it has been criticized by the larger society. I find that your statement did a fine job introducing what is on your infograph. Your infograph also looked clean. I liked the flow and the various texts your group presented from the different name calling at the top to a discussion of "deviants" and "outcasts," and to the current headlines about mixed-race. However, I felt that this infograph was very basic in that the information your group presented was too centralized at the definition of terms. I would have loved to have seen more application of the terms in an analysis of an example. Nevertheless, it was a good infograph.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the infograph a lot because it looks amazing. I like how you provide definitions and broke down what it means to be "deviants" or "outcasts". The infograph does go hand in hand with the artist statement. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see how this infograph explains how mixed raced people are seen as undesirable and deviant. I think this brings awareness to current issues mixed raced people still face. It's an interesting point overall.
ReplyDeleteI liked how your group chose to define the terms "outcasts" and "deviants" and presented the reader with current events that are occurring in society. Your artist statement also went well with your artwork. While I do see your group's efforts in selecting different aspects that are relevant to the mixed-race community, I felt that your group could have went a bit more beyond what you presented in your artwork. For example, your group could have presented more complicated ideas such as exploring the difference between specific mixed-race groups that are outcasted from their society verses being perceived as deviants.
ReplyDeleteThis infographic is really well done and I could see it in a magazine or journal, with a few tweaks. I don't see any immediate improvements. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you guys took the terms themselves and thoroughly analyzed them to explain to us what you get out of them. Your descriptions told how these words are seen as negatives to the mixed race and it also shows that despite people's call for equality, there are still others that try to pin mixed people down. The top portion of the infograph is very nice; it's simple to understand but has a complex design that is very appealing. I think my favorite part, text wise, of this project was the addition of headlines at the bottom because it shows that discrimination is ongoing and appalling.
ReplyDeleteI thought the piece had a very specific purpose and was well thought out and executed. The artist statement is very well written and explains the piece well, although the piece itself is very self explanatory.
ReplyDeleteThe infographic was very aesthetically pleasing and I loved the use of the terms "deviant" and "outcast" to describe in the context of the multiracial subject. The artist statement was very thorough and no need for improvement!
ReplyDeleteThe infograph needs a theoretical framework, because the information presented is disjointed through its compilation of different ideas. The infograph does not have a unifying theme that goes beyond the superficial reporting of mixed race issues.
