I typically use cards on my phone, so these exist as backup. I used my Compass card more often, but as I&#8217;m on mat leave and with Covid I haven&#8217;t been going out much.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>How might these items be\u00a0considered &#8220;texts&#8221; and what do they say about you, the places you inhabit, the cultures with which you engage, and\/or the activities you take up?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThe items are easy to point out that I live in Vancouver. The pile of postage tags are for items sent out to AB and MB, showing I have ties outside where I am now. The mask probably says something about my personality too.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Thinking\u00a0about the title of the course, what are the &#8220;text technologies&#8221; in your bag, if any? What do these items say about\u00a0how you engage with language and\u00a0communication?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nI&#8217;m at a loss on this one. I guess I might have more to say about it later on in the course.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>What do the items in your bag say about the literacies you have?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nThe library card would say that I have traditional literacy. The tiny metal phone pick thingy would indicate that I have some technical literacy as well. Boat, and bus\/train tickets, driver&#8217;s licence, bike keys etc would state that I have some multi-modal transportation literacy as well.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>How does the narrative of the (private) contents of your bag compare with the narrative produced by image you have of yourself or the image you outwardly project?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nThis small bag makes me look like an organized minimalist. Which is actually hilarious.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>What would this same bag have looked like, say, 15 or 25 years ago?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n15 years ago I was in a digital multimedia college program and doing fine arts, so my regular bag was a wheeled duffle-bag. I had a lot of text books and art supplies as well as some food rations. So, pretty much the exact opposite of this. 25 years ago my bag would have contained a giant binder, my pokemon cards, a pikachu stuffy, sheet music, and a bunch of candy.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>How do you imagine an archeologist aiming to understand this temporal period might view the contents of your bag many years in the future?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nThe mask would really help place the bag in a timeline. They might laugh at taking physical books out of a library too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate purses, but as women&#8217;s clothing doesn&#8217;t really have pockets, I carry around this &#8220;wallet on a string.&#8221; I may have to change it though as my phone is too big to stuff in in now. \u00a0What is your &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/2021\/01\/16\/task-1-brown-bag-project\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27533,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27533"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4\/revisions\/31"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sandraetec540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
