James Baldwin (1924-1987) was an influential American author known for exploring themes of race, class, and sexuality in his novels, plays, essays and poetry. As a major voice of the civil rights movement, he spent much of his life living abroad in Europe. This document discusses whether Baldwin can be considered a postcolonial thinker given the specific history of African Americans and how his 1955 essay "Stranger in the Village" examines the experience of being the first black man encountered by white villagers in Switzerland. It raises questions about how Baldwin speaks to the general systems of Western domination versus the particular histories of colonized groups.
This document discusses how war photography can portray war in different ways - either making it seem glamorous to support military recruitment and morale, or attempting to show reality. It provides examples of photographs that have been used to make war seem exciting or demonstrate military power, omitting the difficulties, as well as photographs attempting to depict the true horrors and aftermath of war. The document argues that while some photos are manipulated to portray war positively, many photographers risk their lives to show the real consequences of war.

A minimum 5-6 page paper is due in two drafts, citing sources in MLA format. Previous reading journals can be used to develop the central argument, but a simple compilation is insufficient. The paper may also inform their final project. Guidance is provided on developing a nuanced synthesis.

[1] It discusses how the spectacle elevates sight and transforms real images into tangible beings. [2] It describes how the spectacle materially reconstructs religious illusion and places it within material life. [3] It explains how the practical power of modern society has detached itself and established an independent realm in the spectacle through its own self-cleavage and contradictions.

It summarizes that the spectacle is not images itself but the social relationship between people mediated by images. It separates society into reality and images, with the spectacle emerging as the apparent goal that subordinates social practice. Both reality and the spectacle incorporate elements of each other, with a reciprocal alienation between the two being the essence of modern society. The spectacle brings together disparate phenomena and asserts that all of human life is mere appearance, acting as a visible negation of life through the form it has invented for visualizing itself. Modern economy has shifted society from having to appearing, with individual reality only being allowed to appear inasmuch as it
How Do I Write This Thing? The Guy Debord EditionIan Sherman

In his article "The Loss of the Creature", Walker Percy introduces the concept of a "sovereign experience" as occurring when one confronts something unknown. The writer will explore this concept through examining Percy's labeling of such experiences alongside the writer's grandmother's experience seeing the ocean for the first time. However, the writer argues that by creating the label of "sovereign experience", Percy undermines the very ability for an experience to exist beyond description.
This document provides guidance on online workshopping and reviewing documents. It discusses three methods for providing feedback on documents: using Track Changes in Microsoft Word, directly typing comments into the document and changing the font color, and typing comments at the end of the document.

It promotes using the "quote sandwich" technique of surrounding quotes with your own analysis to slowly flesh out a paper before writing the introduction and conclusion.
The document discusses the technique of close reading, which involves carefully analyzing a text on multiple levels, including annotation, analyzing individual words and sentences, and examining rhetorical devices. It advocates an active engagement with the text through marking it up, taking notes, paraphrasing passages, and noting connections between ideas. The goal is to have an in-depth conversation with the text through slow, deep analysis on word, sentence, and whole-text levels.

6. • Photographs are not actually objective
• They come from individual perspectives
• They often perform specific jobs
• They contribute to familiar narratives
• They often make arguments
• They work both directly and indirectly
7.
8. • What job does it do?
• What argument does it seem to
make?
• Why are we seeing it?
• What story is it telling?
• How do different viewers interpret
the image?
9. Consider its
elements:
• Close focus on the face
• Face painted, dirty, bleeding
• Cigarette hanging loosely, almost casually
• Smoke billowing around and in front of the Marine’s face
• Eyes squinting, looking “over our shoulders”: reads of
alertness, “hard edge,” almost reminiscent of James Dean
• Little to no background or terrain, except desert gray
• Face framed by the helmet and the strap
10. Consider its
context:
• After a day of bloody fighting during the battle for Fallujah
• At that point, this battle had claimed more American lives
than any other campaign in the Iraq war
• The battle for Fallujah was fought door-to-door, in the streets
and in the houses, instead of from the air or from a distance.
• The Iraq War was beginning to become less “popular” back in
the US, but still held support among a majority of Americans.
11.
12. Consider its
elements:
• Once more: focus on the face, but in profile, with hand
loosely up
• Face is clean—and looks radically different. Rounder, softer,
much less strong.
• Cigarette is still here, but it feels very different here: the hold,
the ash—even the length—all seem less at ease.
• Eyes look away, now downward: feels like regret, like loss.
• We see part of the USMC tattoo—but it’s upside down and
partially obscured.
13. Consider its
context:
• 2007: near the end of the Bush administration. The war is
much less popular, and more than half of the American public
are now in favor of withdrawal.
• It had become hard to identify, clearly, why the US was still
fighting in Iraq: many used the word “quagmire” to describe
the war.
• The article was talking about the difficult conditions soldiers
returned to in the US, and of the toll that the war had taken
on them.
