CulturalPolitics.net


As many have already stated, the layout of the website Culturalpolitics.net is very basic and functional. The construction of it seems like a project--one in which the content is more important than how it is presented. I've also considered that because it is so functional, it is probably easier to access and view for some of those in other countries who have limited internet access (can't view pictures or detailed layouts, etc.) as these are some of the people that the topics and issues definitely affect. I also viewed the website as sort of Wikipedia-esque, because it offers so many links to further knowledge about certain subjects. I really appreciate how everything is simple to navigate because of how it is organized. T.V. Reed definitely seems to have put a lot of thought into how everything should be organized. I think this is a great place to go when needing further explanations of things or wanting to branch off of topics currently known-about. It's a great place to start learning about things or verify things, or even stay up to date about movements and culture. I can see this website as an excellent tool to be used for writing research papers! I was overall impressed with this website. It appears credible, is functional and useful, and it is extremely relevant to the topics we will cover in class. It's also really nice to see bibliographies scattered throughout the pages; knowing that there is verification in the topics covered is helpful. So, all in all, I like it! It houses a lot of things not only of interest for the class itself, but for my personal interests as well.

  1. That's a very interesting point that you brought up about people with less powerful internet connections being able to load a more simple site than one with detailed graphics. I think that's something we tend to take for granted. I certainly agree with a lot, if not all of your points. Good post!
