"Practices of Looking" Ch. 1 & 2

l. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to talk about here, but here goes. I thought that the reading was not only interesting, but very engaging. Throughout the chapters I found myself applying it to what I have experienced, and learning new facts/associations about products that I use/have used. For example in chapter 2, I had never known that Doc Martens, which my friends and I wore throughout high school were originally orthopedic shoes, then worn by construction workers, and evolving into a "symbol" for AIDS activists. When reading about "bricolage" I was reminded of the "members only" jackets which have been resurrected from the 80s, and are now the "it" item of clothing back home, even my brother rummaged through my sisters stuff in the attic to find one of the original jackets. I was curious about "textual poaching" it makes sense but trying to come up with my own example, I was wondeirng if "Bride and Prejudice" would fit the definition. A Bollywood film, that takes on the traditional Western novel "Pride and Prejudice," would this count for poaching? Thats about all that jogged my mind from these two chapters, hope I'm on the right track!
