Annotated Bibliography Brock, Shayna. Personal interview. 17 Jun. 2013.

Shayna Brock is a college level Ultimate Player for the University of Central Florida. Shes been to the College Championships in Madison, WI., and saw firsthand the impact that the media has had on the sport. We all had to wear uniforms and match exactly otherwise we couldnt play it was all the same rules I assume other sports have as well She is an example of one of the stakeholders because her team in general will follow stricter rules, but at the same time will gain more media attention as well as more money from both investors and the student government at UCF. Eisenhood, Charlie. "Social Media Suggests ESPNU Broadcast Had Big Impact." Ultiworld. Ultiworld, 30 May 2013. Web. 15 June 2013. This article is the exact subject discussed in the stakeholders analysis. It focuses on my idea of making it a major sport in America. ESPN3 and ESPN-U Recently streamed and played the College Championships in Madison, WI. The views were much higher than predicted, and the feedback was even greater. Many schools got to watch and root for their teams throughout the weekend of the tournament just like they do with other sports. Usually, only Ultimate players watch these types of tournaments, but due to Nationals actually being televised, over 73 Million Homes had the option to watch, and a couple hundred thousand did. Eisenhood, Charlie. "War Zone Ultimate." Ultiworld. Ultiworld, 5 June 2013. Web. 13 June 2013. The first article I researched is called War Zone Ultimate It tells the short story of American soldiers fighting in the Iraqi war that usually played mainstream sports, and local Iraqis that played the same sports, but separately. One of the Americans thought of the idea to play Ultimate Frisbee. He had one of the Iraqis who were fluent in English explain the rules, and they split up the teams so that each team had an equal number of Iraqis and Americans. At first, it was quiet and awkward, but as the game developed, more camaraderie developed as well. They continued these games for quite some time. The simplicity of the game as well as the nonviolence makes it a great peacekeeping game, and this is a perfect example. Gee, J. P. (1989). What is literacy? Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics: Essays by James Paul Gee. Spec. issue of Journal of Education, 171 (1), 18-25. On one hand, Gee talks about an explanation of what exactly literacy is. On the other hand, he explains the differences in the different types of discourses, and that social norms are also forms of discourse. Gee contradicts himself. At the same time that he argues the difference between language and literacy, he also implies in a distinct difference between discourse and Discourse. I agree that there are other examples of discourse besides speaking, language, and literacy. He argues that being American or Russian, or a man or woman are forms of discourses, and I agree because these are messages that are conveyed. His argument that European social theory is a little more complex is supported by new

research showing that the points he makes in the article seem to be more commonplace there. In recent discussions of what exactly literacy is, a controversial issue has been whether it is simply the ability to read or write, or something much more complex. On the one hand, some argue that literacy is the most basic and important skill to have in regard to language because deciphering symbols on a paper determines your ability to write. On the other hand, however, others, including Gee argues that literacy is just the master of or fluent control over a secondary Discourse. King, T, (2005). The Truth About Stories. Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press. Pages 1-25. 16 June 2013. Spatial Praxis is described as the process by which space produces and is produced by social relations. At first I didnt quite know what this meant, but the Reynolds and Staples articles gave me a good idea. After reading the first chapter of King, I think I finally understand. Spatial Praxis is the very thing that defines our society. Its what you see when you go outside, Its the things you hear, and how you react to these things. Spatial Praxis, in my opinion, is the set of natural guidelines today, that somewhat dictate our daily lives. They are not so much as individual actions, but societal tendencies; of course there are always exceptions. Kings use of spatial praxis is frequent throughout the chapter. He explains not only what it has done to us as a society, but he uses it in his speech as well. His tone and language is very relaxed and makes the reader want to listen to him. The space hes filling is one we dont necessarily always think about, therefore once he gets us thinking, its very easy to understand what hes attempting to explain. Korber, John. "Why Do You Play Ultimate: Analysis & Results From The Extensive Surveys."Ultiworld. Ultiworld, 6 Mar. 2013. Web. 17 June 2013. Previous research has been done on this topic. It is not as extensive as Id like it to be, but it provides a sort of backbone to my stakeholders analysis. We talked yesterday about how my research will tell me if my focus is too narrow. So far, I think youre right. I may have to broaden my idea to Division-1 colleges (the best in the nation) instead of just UCFs Frisbee team so that there are more stakeholders in the topic of interest. The author of this piece stated In ultimates case, they [people] want to [play] because the game provides them with personal growth, satisfaction and enjoyment, a sense of community and camaraderie among teammates and opponents alike, and competition He talks about all the positive factors that people feel is why they play the sport. While this is his original statement, media is slowly becoming a factor in peoples reasons for playing. Staples, B. (1998). Just walk on by: a Black man ponders his power to alter public space. Literary Cavalcade, 50 (5), 38-42. Staples believes there are quite a few discourses that connect to the ghetto but more so to just subtle racism. In his article, Just Walk on By: A Black Man Ponders His ability to Alter Public Space, Brent Staples discusses his encounter of inherent racism in his early 20s. While his physique is large and threatening, he claims he can barely cut raw chicken, let alone a person. The space he discusses in the

article is different in different circumstances. When he talks about his time in an impoverished Chicago area, he tells the reader about a woman who ran away from him because they were in a deserted street at night. However, in parts of New York, he gets lost among the many other faces walking the street at night, but still encounters the same tense behavior in smaller NY neighborhoods. The places that Staples would call the ghetto are places that have a low amount of people, and a largely prejudice feeling towards black men. He describes that a power to intimidate are one of the many things that create young brutes. Boys realizing their capacity to frighten and intimidate like to use that to get things they want. Men in general feel this way, but it is more visible in Black males. Especially weak individuals take this power literally, and it never works out well in their favor.
