2. It summarizes Achebe's poem "Vulture", which compares vultures scavenging for food to the commandant of the Nazi concentration camp at Belsen.
3. It discusses how vultures can help control the spread of cystic echinococcosis in Sardinia by efficiently disposing of livestock carcasses.
4. It includes additional references to the photograph "The Struggling Girl" by Kevin Carter and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
The Post 9/11 World and the Crises of Multiculturalism: Sussex University 50t...
This document discusses the post-9/11 backlash against multiculturalism in Western nations. It argues that the consensus around the civilizational threat of terrorism has legitimized a new form of "cultural racism." Critics have blamed multiculturalism and excessive tolerance for the rise of "home-grown" terrorism. The "crisis of multiculturalism" is presented as a contemporary way to express racism while maintaining an official commitment to diversity. The document examines how the boundaries between "good" and "bad" diversity are used to understand and justify racism.
Wives and Daughters 2
The Victorian Experience discusses Elizabeth Gaskell's unfinished novel Wives and Daughters and the evolutionary themes and references within the story. Key points:
1) Wives and Daughters explores different social classes in Victorian England and how characters adapt to their environments, reflecting Darwinian evolutionary ideas.
2) The novel references the scientific debates around evolution occurring in the 1860s, with mentions of Darwin's Origin of Species and theorists like Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire.
3) The story was meant to conclude with Roger Hamley, a scientist, marrying Molly Gibson, representing their evolutionary success in adapting to their surroundings.

The works included are The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Turn of the Screw, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Walden, The Scarlet Letter, and Moby Dick, listed from lowest to highest vocabulary level respectively. For each work, the title, author, a brief summary of the plot, and relevant links are provided.
The power of a single action
The document discusses how a single action or event can significantly impact the outcome or plot of real life situations and works of literature. It provides two examples: Macbeth by William Shakespeare and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. In Macbeth, the witches' prophecy that Macbeth will become king drives him to commit murder and sends him into madness. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, McMurphy's violent act of strangling Nurse Ratched results in him becoming a vegetable after undergoing a lobotomy. Both works illustrate how powerful and consequential a single action or decision can be.

POSTAPOCALYPTIC_CURATING_CULT.pdf
Postapocalytic Curating: Cultural Crises and Permanence of Art in Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven by Carmen M. Mendez-Garcia. This is a study by Carmen M. Mendez-Garcia discussing the collection of artefacts in the post-collapsed society of Emily St. John Mandel's book Station Eleven. In the essay, Mandez-Garcia talks about her objection to many aspects within the text; however, she acknowledges that Station Eleven is a rare, hopeful, and positive post-apocalyptic text, about how life goes on––especicially human life, since we may not be ready to imagine a world without humanity, even if the texts it glorifies, or rather their celebration throughout history, are problematic, as she has attempted to show. These bastions of humanity are presented as to be preserved only through communal effort, not through individualistic forces that often drive the protagonists in this kind of text.
Krauss guarantee of the medium 2009
This document discusses the concept of medium specificity and the avant-garde. It examines how some contemporary artists have rejected the idea of medium specificity that was important to modernism. However, it also discusses how some artists have found new ways to still use the medium to secure the meaning of their work, through what the author calls a "technical support" rather than a traditional medium. It provides examples of how Ed Ruscha adopted the automobile as a technical support in his work, and how William Kentridge uses animation as a technical support through his "Drawings for Projection."

Sweden has advertised itself on AirBNB to attract more tourists by describing Swedish nature as a home with amenities like eating berries from the ground, sleeping under the stars, and swimming freely in lakes. Before electronic sensors, miners would carry canaries into coal mines since the birds would show signs of dangerous methane gas before humans could detect it, originating the phrase "canary in a coal mine". In 2005, an ancient seed from the Judean date palm, which had gone extinct in the 14th century, was successfully germinated and named Methuselah after the oldest person in the Bible.

What tangled skeins are the genealogies of slavery!
Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, 1861
I
The American slave narrative is a literary form whose historical bound¬
aries are firmly marked. While first-person narratives about oppression
and exclusion will persist as long as racism persists, slave narratives
ceased to be written when the last American citizen who had lived under
institutionalized slavery died. The only way in which a new slave-memoir
could be written is if someone were able to travel into the past, become
a slave, and return to tell the story. Because the laws of physics, such
as we know them, preclude traveling backwards in time, such a book
would have to be a hybrid of autobiographical narrative and scientific
fantasy. That is exactly the sort of book Octavia Butler imagined when
she wrote Kindred, first published in 1979. Like all good works of fiction,
it lies like the truth.
Kindred begins and ends in mystery. On June 9, 1976, her twenty-
sixth birthday, Edana, a black woman moving with her white husband
Kevin Franklin to a new house in a Los Angeles suburb, is overcome by
nausea while unpacking cartons. Abruptly she finds herself kneeling on
a riverbank; hearing a child’s screams, she runs into the river to save
him, applies artificial respiration, and as the boy begins breathing again
she looks up into a rifle barrel. Again she sickens and is once more in
her new house, but now she is s ...
Foundations of storytelling1c
The document discusses the history of storytelling from prehistoric times to the present. It explores how storytelling began as oral tradition, using images, sounds and mnemonic devices to aid memory before the invention of writing. As technology advanced, storytelling adapted, incorporating writing, theater, printed books and modern mass media while classic elements of stories and archetypes remained. The medium may change but the craft of storytelling does not.

• Literary journalism “is a form of nonfiction writing that adheres to all of the reportorial and truth-telling covenants of
conventional journalism, while employing rhetorical and storytelling techniques more commonly associated with fiction. In
short, it is journalism as literature.”1
• “Among the shared characteristics of literary journalism are immersion reporting, complicated structures, character
development, symbolism, voice, a focus on ordinary people…and accuracy. Literary journalists recognize the need for a
consciousness on the page through which the objects in view are filtered.”2

How to write about what we’re doing to the planet? In what genre, what form? I grew
up outside of a small town in northwestern Colorado, and in recent years spruce and
pine beetles have devastated forests throughout the Rockies, turning evergreen slopes a
dead maroon. Beetles have always attacked and killed the trees there, just as the
Atlantic Ocean has always bred hurricanes and have scoured California. The
difference—which we give the bland name climate change—lies in the new frequency
and intensity of these events. A 2013 study from the University of Colorado found that
drought and warmer sea-surface temperatures best explain the trees’ increased

A Fairy Tale From Before Fairy Tales Egbert Of Li Ge S Quot De Puella A Lup...
This article examines a short Latin poem from the early 11th century called "De puella a lupellis seruata" ("The Girl Saved from the Wolves") and argues that it provides early evidence related to the fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Hood". The author critiques those who dismiss the value of early literary evidence in understanding fairy tales, noting that this Latin text predates the earliest known oral versions of "Little Red Riding Hood" by centuries. Analyzing this early medieval text can provide insights into the cultural background and origins of this well-known fairy tale.

Witchcraft bib
The document summarizes the history and development of the Witchcraft Bibliography Project. It began as a bibliography started by Jeffrey Merrick to support his teaching on early modern European witchcraft. After expanding the bibliography while teaching at various universities, Merrick passed responsibility for maintaining and expanding the bibliography to Richard Golden in 1996. Golden has since overseen expanding the bibliography's scope while it remains available online through the University of North Texas history department website. Golden is now seeking someone to take over responsibility for the ongoing bibliography.
Joseph Conrad PostNewPaper
This document provides a detailed summary and analysis of Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness. It discusses the novella's exploration of European imperialism in Africa in the late 19th century through complex layered narratives and ambiguous symbolism. It examines how Conrad draws on his own experiences in the Belgian Congo to both critique and justify imperialism. While the novella depicts the horrors of colonialism, it leaves judgments open-ended for readers to determine. Overall, the document analyzes how Heart of Darkness uses narrative structure and irony to confess to and grapple with the complex realities and impacts of European imperialism in Africa.
Modern, modernity, modernism
The document traces the origins and evolution of the concept of modernity from the 6th century through the 20th century. It discusses how modernity was initially viewed negatively in contrast to antiquity, but began being celebrated with thinkers like Descartes who broke from ancient traditions. Key developments like the Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, and scientific/technological advances led to new art movements like Romanticism, Symbolism, and the avant-garde that experimented with form and sought to liberate humanity. Dada, Surrealism, Precisionism, and early abstract films broke from conventions to celebrate or question modern experience.

• Literary journalism “is a form of nonfiction writing that adheres to all of the reportorial and truth-telling covenants of
conventional journalism, while employing rhetorical and storytelling techniques more commonly associated with fiction. In
short, it is journalism as literature.”1
• “Among the shared characteristics of literary journalism are immersion reporting, complicated structures, character
development, symbolism, voice, a focus on ordinary people…and accuracy. Literary journalists recognize the need for a
consciousness on the page through which the objects in view are filtered.”2
i. Immersion reporting
ii. Complicated structures
iii. Symbolism
iv. Character development
v. Voice
vi. Accuracy

How to write about what we’re doing to the planet? In what genre, what form? I grew
up outside of a small town in northwestern Colorado, and in recent years spruce and
pine beetles have devastated forests throughout the Rockies, turning evergreen slopes a
dead maroon. Beetles have always attacked and killed the trees there, just as the
Atlantic Ocean has always bred hurricanes and have scoured California. The
difference—which we give the bland name climate change—lies in the new frequency
and intensity of these events. A 2013 study from the University of Colorado found that
drought and warmer sea-surface temperatures best explain the trees’ increased

susceptibility to the beetles, and warmer and drier conditions are almost certainly what
the coming decades have in store for the American West. Meanwhile, on a drive
through the mountains, great bristling stands of living green- and blue-needled trees
alternate with brittle dead zones, and the mind slips among memory, evidence, and
anticipation: landscape I saw as a kid, landscape I now see, landscape that I foresee. The
experience itself is a bit like hesitating between literary genres. There’s the novel of

A Fairy Tale From Before Fairy Tales Egbert Of Li Ge S Quot De Puella A Lup...
This article examines a short Latin poem from the early 11th century called "De puella a lupellis seruata" ("The Girl Saved from the Wolves") and argues that it provides early evidence related to the fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Hood". The author critiques those who dismiss the value of early literary evidence in understanding fairy tales, noting that this Latin text predates the earliest known oral versions of "Little Red Riding Hood" by centuries. Analyzing this early medieval text can provide insights into the cultural background and origins of this well-known fairy tale.

It discusses the novella's exploration of European imperialism in Africa in the late 19th century through complex layered narratives and ambiguous symbolism.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
