Process Notes: I wanted to merge the forms of manifesto and instruction manual to come up with a post-breakup code for those identifying as women after a relationship with a man. This merger represents the amalgamation of many of the tropes and facts I’ve learned through my research on the topic in the course of this class, manifesting that in a sort of pass-down lesson to women in the future. I utilized the footnote, as well, in way that I hope reflects the ways we’ve seen it used in the readings. I struggled with where to draw the line between sarcasm and seriousness — I think if I choose to put this in the final project, I may have to pick one or the other and really dig into it. I would appreciate feedback on whether the piece reads as too in-between sarcasm and seriousness, and if so, how I should proceed.
