"This Instagram Media Essay was a response to Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric, which discusses the lived experiences of the body due to notions of gender, race, and culture. Specifically, the Racialsensory Homunculus project aims to take the scientific Somatosensory Homunculus concept and instead present a distorted body according to common racist notions of Eastern Asians.The Instagram formatting illuminates the effectiveness of different, non-traditional storytelling mediums, a key component of the Narrative and Technology course."
