Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir was a French philosopher, author, and feminist. She was born in Paris in 1908 and spent most of her life there. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and became involved with Jean-Paul Sartre. Her 1949 book The Second Sex established her as a founder of feminist existentialism and challenged patriarchal views of women. It analyzed how women are socially constructed as "other" and subordinate to men. Though initially controversial, it came to be seen as a seminal text of second-wave feminism. De Beauvoir argued that women should strive for equality and have the freedom to define themselves rather than be defined by others.
Foucault and Queer Theory
This document provides an overview and introduction to Michel Foucault and queer theory. It discusses Foucault's influential work on the relationships between knowledge, power, and sexuality. Foucault challenged traditional narratives of sexual liberation and argued that discourse around sexuality is used to regulate and control people. Queer theory emerged from these ideas and critiques binaries like heterosexual/homosexual. The document provides context on Foucault and queer theory to set up an exploration of Foucault's influence on the development of queer thinking.
Feminist criticism final
Feminist criticism examines literature from a feminist perspective by analyzing the portrayal and treatment of women. It has two premises: 1) how women are presented by male authors from a male point of view and 2) how women are presented by female authors from a female point of view. Feminist criticism aims to understand gender inequality and promote women's rights. There are three waves of feminism - first wave focused on women's suffrage, second wave on social inequality, and third wave on diversity and intersectionality. Major feminist theorists discussed include Beauvoir, Showalter, Irigaray, Cixous, and Haraway.
Feminist literary criticism
Feminist literary criticism examines how literature represents women and gender, and how patriarchal power structures influence literary works and their interpretation. It launched in the 20th century with works like Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own and Kate Millett's Sexual Politics. Key ideas include that patriarchy oppresses women economically, politically, socially and psychologically through ideology, and defines women in opposition to male norms. Feminist criticism aims to promote gender equality by raising awareness of these issues in literature and representation.
The Madwoman in the Attic
This document provides biographical information about literary critics Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, and summarizes their landmark 1979 book "The Madwoman in the Attic". The book analyzes how 19th century patriarchal society imposed strict gender roles that oppressed women and influenced female authors. It explores how women writers struggled for artistic self-definition within this context, experiencing "anxiety of authorship" in having to establish their authority and rewrite social conventions. The document also reviews the historical women's rights movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries that aimed to challenge women's subordinate status in society.
Feminism (Gender studies)
Feminism (Gender studies) originated from the feminist movement and focuses on analyzing women's issues and the social construction of gender roles. It can be categorized into three levels: thematic rejects stereotypes, ideological questions gender-biased perspectives, and destructionist aims to change degrading women's roles. Examples of works studied through this lens include Jane Eyre, Moll Flanders, and The Scarlet Letter for books, and A Doll's House, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet for plays. Applying feminist theory helps reassess women's societal roles and question patriarchal influences portrayed in literature.
Feminist criticism
Feminist criticism focuses on exploring how women have been denied social power and rights of expression. It analyzes works through frameworks like patriarchy, egalitarianism, and essentialism. Early feminist criticism examined men's treatment of women in fiction, then focused on women writers' place in literary history. There were three phases of women's novels: writing like men, polemics against patriarchy, and embracing women's perspectives. Approaches include analyzing male treatment of women; discovering women's literary traditions; how creative powers were channeled into madness; and French feminist theories of a separate female language.

Feminist theory
Feminist film theory emerged in the 1960s-1990s influenced by second wave feminism. It analyzes how films portray women and the impact those portrayals have on society and viewers. Early feminist film theorists argued that women were often depicted in stereotypical, subordinate roles as eye candy for male viewers. Today, feminist film theory takes a more intersectional approach, considering differences among women in terms of class, race, ethnicity, and nationality. It also examines portrayals of women globally and how feminist perspectives have diversified.
Feminist criticism of ‘wuthering heights’ by muhammad arif
This document summarizes feminist criticism of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights in 3 paragraphs. It discusses how feminist critics examine the portrayal of women characters, patriarchal power structures represented by Edgar Linton, and how the novel traces the emergence of the modern family and domestic realism as a site of violence and control rather than a prison. Feminist critics focus on Bronte having a female author and issues of equality, motherhood, and the experiences of the female characters like Catherine Earnshaw.
Lesbian and-gay-literature1-1

Colonialism
This document summarizes and critiques the concept of decolonization being used as a metaphor in Western academic contexts without proper acknowledgement or consideration of Indigenous peoples and struggles. It notes that decolonization is not simply a metaphor and discusses how the concept has been appropriated and domesticated in a way that is dangerous and limiting. It argues that decolonization must be grounded in recognition of Indigenous sovereignty and contributions from Indigenous intellectuals and activists to avoid being a premature attempt at reconciliation that contains settler anxiety.
Feminist criticism 2012
Feminist criticism examines how women are portrayed and treated in literature through a patriarchal lens. It focuses on how female characters are often reduced to stereotypes like the slave, temptress, virgin, or prize that fail to represent real female complexity and agency. A feminist critique asks how female and male characters view women, whether portrayals are stereotypical, the power dynamics between genders, and how this influences the work's themes and society's treatment of women.
Modernism
Modernism was a literary movement between 1915 and 1965 that rejected traditional forms and conventions. Modernist writers experimented with stream of consciousness writing and non-linear structures to challenge readers. They consciously warped traditional forms to create something new and rejected realism and naturalism. Modernist works often have a pervasive sense of doubt and darker themes as the writers challenged everything from point of view to the nature of the hero.
Feminism
This document discusses several concepts related to feminism and the portrayal of women in popular culture and media. It addresses different types of feminism like liberal feminism, radical feminism, and socialist feminism. It also discusses how popular culture and media often symbolically annihilate women by excluding them, trivializing them, and condemning them. This socializes women into adopting restrictive gender roles like domestic labor and being sex objects. The document also examines how ideological messages in popular culture can train men and women into traditional gender roles.
Theorist research fredric jameson
Fredric Jameson is an American postmodern theorist born in 1934. He studied Western philosophy at Haverford College and traveled extensively in Europe. Jameson developed postmodern theories with Jean Baudrillard based on his studies in Western philosophy. His work had significant influence in China. Some of Jameson's main theories include the breakdown of distinctions between high and low culture through pastiche in modern media. He also theorized about postmodern architecture as being constructed without clear purpose or focus. Jameson has been influential but also received some criticism.
November 20
Modernism emerged in response to World War I and the disillusionment it caused. It rejects tradition and absolute truths, instead believing that individuals create their own meaning. Modernist works experiment with form and focus on inner experiences like alienation. Some popular British modernists include James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and T.S. Eliot, whose works abandoned conventions. Postmodernism further questions meaning and embraces multiple interpretations. It blurs genre boundaries and acknowledges fiction's constructed nature.
Eagleton, Terry After Theory
In this work, Eagleton thinks over what remains for the theoretician after the boom and decline of literarry theory.
III Feminisms
Second-wave feminism in the 1960s-70s focused on recovering works by forgotten women writers and exploring how literature by male authors portrayed women. Influential works included Kate Millett's critique of Freud/Lawrence, and Gilbert and Gubar's "The Madwoman in the Attic" which analyzed how 19th century women writers had to negotiate oppression and psychological distress to achieve literary authority. New French Feminism celebrated feminine discourse to challenge patriarchal constructs of gender difference. Later critiques argued the movement overemphasized female victimization and ignored factors like class, ideology and non-white women's experiences.
Posmodernism presentation
Postmodernism refers to a contemporary cultural style that is skeptical of classical notions of truth and objectivity. It questions traditional values and narratives. Postmodernism in literature continues and exaggerates some features of Modernism or reacts against it, using techniques like fragmentation and multiple perspectives. It also questions canonical literature and is influenced by postmodern philosophies such as post-structuralism, deconstruction, surrealism, pop art, and punk culture.
"The Politics Of Amnesia" by Terry Eagleton .
Terence Francis "Terry" Eagleton is a prominent British literary theorist, critic and public intellectual.Novelist and critic David Lodge, writing in the May 2004 New York
Review of Books on Theory and After Theory, concluded:
Some of Theory's achievements are genuine and permanent additions to knowledge, or intellectual self-knowledge. Eagleton is quite right to assert that we can never go back to a state of pre-Theory innocence about the transparency of language or the ideological neutrality of interpretation ... But like all fashions it was bound to have a limited life of novelty and vitality, and we are now living through its decadence without any clear indication of what will supersede it. Theory has, in short, become boringly predictable to many people who were once enthusiastic about it, and that After Theory is most interesting when its focus is furthest from its nominal subject is perhaps evidence that Terry Eagleton is now bored by it too.

General characteristics of Modern literature/ Background.
General characteristics of Modern literature/ Background.Department of English, M K Bhavnagar University
The document discusses the key characteristics of modern literature. Modernism represented a strong break from tradition and established views. Modern literature emphasized individual perspectives over absolute truths, and celebrated inner strength. It was an international, interdisciplinary movement. The modern age saw rational thinking and the rise of mass communication. Literature exhibited stream of consciousness and changing perceptions of language. Experimentation was valued. The two world wars had a major influence and created disillusionment. Psychology also impacted literature through concepts like stream of consciousness. There was growing interest in the working class and social issues.New historicism
New historicism is a literary theory that emerged in the 1970s that critiques older historicist approaches. It views literature as reflecting the social and political contexts of its time period. Key figures who developed new historicism include Stephen Greenblatt, who examined how Renaissance literature reflected practices of self-fashioning among the upper class. New historicism also draws from theorists like Foucault and examines how power structures shape how literature is produced and consumed within a culture. It analyzes both literary and non-literary texts to understand cultural norms and social conditions of a time period.

Creativity
The student created an original music magazine for teenage girls that drew inspiration from magazines like ELLE and Nylon but targeted a niche audience not served by other publications. She used typical design elements like a "photo booth" effect for photos but wrote articles in a unique diary format. While mostly using basic photo editing in Photoshop, she experimented with effects but decided a simpler look best fit the magazine's style. The magazine communicated a quirky teenage identity through fonts, colors, informal language, and photos of a girl posing with her camera. The student's social environment as a teenage girl herself informed accurate representation of what would appeal to her audience. Overall she based the magazine on successful formats but added her own creative ideas and
How media has introduced popular culture and gender
The document discusses how mass media has introduced popular culture and shaped gender identity. It defines popular culture as ideas and phenomena that permeate mainstream Western society. Popular culture is often criticized for being trivial and simplistic. The document also discusses the history of gender roles, noting that patriarchy traditionally defined men as breadwinners and women as homemakers. However, women's liberation movements have redefined gender roles and given women more opportunities. Nonetheless, mass media still relies on gender stereotypes in order to make content more universal and accessible.
Culture theory review of theories
Kluckhohn argued that culture allows humans to organize and understand the world in different ways. Each culture has its own "design for living" that seems normal within that culture but may seem strange or "queer" to outsiders. He gave the example of a white teacher who misunderstood why her Navajo students were upset about a dance, because she did not understand their cultural precepts and norms. Kluckhohn's concept of "queer customs" illustrates the principle of cultural relativism, which states that cultural practices cannot be fully understood outside of their cultural context.

Brotherhood, patriarchy, intersectionality, and romance?
This document contains summaries of texts about patriarchy, kyriarchy, and intersectionality. It discusses how patriarchy has traditionally been conceptualized as a universal system of male domination, but more recently has been reconceptualized as a variable and differential system that intersects with other forms of oppression like racism and classism. It introduces the terms "kyriarchy" and "intersectionality" which provide frameworks for understanding how people experience multiple, overlapping forms of oppression and can be both oppressed and privileged in different contexts. It emphasizes that all forms of oppression should be challenged and that individuals should "check their privilege" and consider how their advantages may affect their perspectives and actions.

It believes that Western civilization is rooted in patriarchal ideology that oppresses and marginalizes women. Feminist criticism aims to promote gender equality by challenging traditional views of women and expanding the literary canon to include more women authors. Common approaches include investigating gender roles and relationships, as well as how literature reinforces or contests social expectations of men and women.

Feminist Literary Criticism: An Overview.pptx
Feminist literary criticism examines how literature reinforces or challenges the oppression of women. It analyzes how culture and writing perpetuate patriarchal ideals through explicit and implicit misogyny. Feminist criticism also considers how women writers have been excluded from the traditional literary canon. There are common beliefs among feminist theories, such as that patriarchy oppresses women in many ways and defines women in opposition to male norms. Feminist activity aims to promote gender equality. Three waves of feminism are identified from the 1700s to present, each building on the last to expand feminist ideologies and address additional forms of marginalization. Key feminist writers and their works are discussed in relation to shaping feminist thought and literary criticism.

The feministapproachinliterarycriticism
Feminist literary criticism analyzes how women are portrayed in texts and how these representations are often insufficient and oppressive. There are several types of feminist criticism, including liberal, Marxist, psychoanalytic, and minority feminisms. Feminist critics seek to uncover patriarchal assumptions, question gender norms and power imbalances between men and women, expand representations of women, and recover works by female authors. They aim to understand how gender roles are socially constructed and how language can marginalize women.

The document discusses a college readiness initiative at Wright College aimed at bridging the gap between secondary and postsecondary education. It notes that three in five community college students require remedial courses and that state standards of college readiness skills often do not align with the actual skills required for entry-level college courses. The initiative seeks to improve college readiness through partnerships with secondary schools, including dual enrollment programs, early assessment, summer bridge programs, and curriculum alignment. It aims to facilitate conversations between secondary and postsecondary faculty regarding curriculum, establish a college-going culture for more students, and collaboratively assess the partnership's impact.
Teacher perspectives on the common core
This document summarizes the findings of a national survey of teacher perspectives on the Common Core State Standards. Nearly 600 teachers responded to the survey about their familiarity with and training for the Common Core, as well as their views on how prepared they feel to teach the standards and what additional resources would help with implementation. Key findings include that most teachers have received some professional development on the Common Core, though typically less than four days. While teachers feel moderately prepared to teach the standards overall, they feel less prepared for certain student groups. Teachers identified needing more planning time and better access to aligned curriculum and assessments to help with Common Core implementation.
Replacing remediation with readiness
This document discusses the shortcomings of traditional remedial assessment and placement in college. It argues that viewing readiness as a dichotomy of remedial vs college-ready is flawed. Instead, it proposes a comprehensive readiness model that assesses students across four dimensions of readiness to varying degrees. This model would provide a richer dataset to guide students and help colleges match interventions to support success. However, implementing this solution faces challenges for colleges to change policies and programs.

The document summarizes the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and their implications for community colleges and student preparedness. It discusses that the CCSS were finalized in 2010 and adopted by 45 states to ensure students graduate high school with the knowledge and skills to be successful in college and careers. Two consortia are developing assessments aligned to the CCSS to be deployed in 2014. The paper reviews literature and interviews on the development of the CCSS and assessments, and higher education's involvement. It also examines implementation in three states and provides recommendations for how community colleges can use the CCSS to help more students enter college without needing remediation.
Noncognitive%20 lit%20review
Grades are better predictors of students' future academic success than test scores alone. Grades capture students' mastery of content knowledge as well as noncognitive factors like their academic behaviors, attitudes, perseverance, and learning strategies. Research shows that these noncognitive factors significantly influence students' academic performance and outcomes. This suggests schools should focus not just on raising academic standards and requiring more rigorous coursework, but also on explicitly developing students' noncognitive skills to help more of them complete high school and college.

The document summarizes the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and their implications for community colleges and student preparedness. It discusses that the CCSS were finalized in 2010 and adopted by 45 states to ensure consistent standards for college and career readiness across states. Two consortia are developing assessments aligned to the CCSS to be deployed in 2014. The paper reviews the role of higher education in developing the standards, and implementation of the CCSS in Florida, Kentucky, and Washington. It recommends community colleges use the 11th grade CCSS assessment for placement, align developmental courses to the CCSS, and partner with high schools to increase college readiness.
Noncognitive factors
Three sentences summarizing the key points:
1) While policies aim to improve readiness through rigorous coursework and test scores, students' grades are actually better predictors of their future success than test scores or courses taken. 2) Grades reflect not just content knowledge and skills, but also important noncognitive factors like behaviors, attitudes, strategies, and relationships that support school performance. 3) Noncognitive factors beyond just cognitive abilities and knowledge, such as motivation, self-control, and problem-solving skills, are critical influences on students' academic outcomes.
Nga expectations
This document discusses next generation student assessments that are being developed to align with Common Core State Standards. It notes that two multi-state consortia, PARCC and Smarter Balanced, are each developing online, computer-adaptive assessments in English and math for grades 3-8 and high school that will provide achievement and growth data to states. The assessments are intended to better prepare all students for college and careers by measuring progress toward standards for college and career readiness.
College readiness initiative
The document discusses Wright College's College Readiness Initiative to help more students enter college ready for credit-bearing courses. Over 50% of Wright students require remedial courses, so the initiative aims to foster collaboration between secondary and postsecondary faculty through activities like dual enrollment, early assessment, curriculum sharing, and professional development workshops. The goal is to facilitate discussions around college readiness and build relationships to create a sustainable program that ensures more students experience a college-ready culture and can earn full college credit upon enrollment at Wright College.
