The document discusses various works that deal with morality and ethics, including Plato's dialogues, Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Shakespeare's Othello, and an unspecified movie about the clash between capitalism and morality. It also outlines Matthew Arnold's views that literature should possess "high truth" and "high seriousness" while acknowledging its ability to corrupt religion and undermine morality.
This document discusses oppression in Philippine history and literature. It notes that oppression has taken many forms in the Philippines, from colonialism to patriarchal societies. Literature often reflects this reality, with poems in particular using dramatic situations and personas to represent oppression and its effects on people's lives. The document analyzes how Cirilo Bautista's poems present allegorical situations through characters and personified objects to engage with issues of oppression in a skilled manner.
We cannot truly understand the culture of the ancient Greeks, and Greek philosophy, culture and history, and also the Western philosophical tradition, without becoming familiar with Homer’s works, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The Iliad and Odyssey depict a warrior culture. All ancient cultures were warrior cultures out of necessity. War was a deadly business, if an ancient city-state lost a major war, often the men would be slain, and the women and children would be sold into slavery. Most of the slaves of the ancient world were either captured by pirates or enslaved during war.
Both ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were warrior cultures, the cultures of the nations of Israel and Judah in the Old Testament were warrior cultures, and all ancient and medieval cultures were warrior cultures until the rise of the modern nation-state. To properly interpret Greek Philosophy and History, the Western Philosophical tradition, and the Old Testament, we must realize that these ancient cultures were rooted in a warrior ethos.

Emotivism is a meta-ethical theory that believes objective moral laws do not exist and that moral terms express personal emotional attitudes rather than factual propositions. According to A.J. Ayer, the philosopher who developed emotivism, ethical statements are neither verifiable nor analytic, but are used to express approval or disapproval in order to influence others. Emotivism faces challenges as it does not allow for basic moral principles to be established, renders ethical debate pointless, and means there can be no universal agreement on what actions are right or wrong.
The document provides biographical information about the Irish poet and dramatist William Butler Yeats. It discusses his early life and influences, including Irish legends and Maud Gonne. As he aged, Yeats turned to politics and served in the Irish Senate. His later works were influenced by his wife and explored mythology and symbolism. The poem "Lake Isle of Innisfree" is summarized as expressing the speaker's longing for the peace of his childhood location through imagery of nature.
This document discusses theories about the nature and function of myths. It describes some key characteristics of myths, such as being traditional tales handed down through generations in narrative form. It also outlines influential 19th-20th century theories, including the idea that myths were misunderstood history ("what" theories) and that they served to explain natural phenomena or justify social institutions ("why" theories). The document analyzes the strengths and limitations of different theoretical approaches to defining myths.
This document provides an overview of pre-colonial Philippine literature. It discusses the objectives of studying this topic, then outlines some of the major forms of literature from this period like epics, legends, myths, folktales, folk songs, proverbs and riddles. It notes some common characteristics of these forms and how they reflected the shared experiences of communities. The document also briefly discusses religion, government structures, writing systems and gender roles during this time. It poses discussion questions for students and lists tasks and additional resources for further learning.
The document discusses several sociological theories of the self. It explains that the self is shaped by social interactions and one's social environment.

Culture and social institutions like the family also influence the development of one's sense of self or identity.

Mythological literary critics analyze works of literature to identify recurring archetypes, characters, symbols, and storylines that are common across different works regardless of time period or location. These archetypes represent fundamental aspects of human nature and experience. Critics examine how archetypes are portrayed differently in various works and what this reveals about underlying meanings. Common archetypes include heroes, villains, natural elements like the sun and moon, and symbolic places. Analyzing these archetypes can provide insight into human psychology and culture.
Introduction to purposive communicationLeonore Mingo
Purposive Communication is a 3-unit course that aims to develop students' communicative competence, enhance cultural and intercultural awareness, and equip students with tools for critical evaluation. The course covers describing verbal and non-verbal communication across contexts, explaining how culture affects communication, and conveying ideas for different audiences orally and in writing using appropriate language and style. Students will learn to critically evaluate multimodal texts and communicate in a culturally sensitive manner.
This document summarizes the key differences between Greek and Roman mythology. Some of the main differences include: Greek myths originated earlier than Roman myths, which borrowed from Greek stories; Greek gods were based more on human personality traits while Roman gods represented objects; Greeks valued creativity more while Romans respected warriors; and Greeks portrayed gods as having physical forms while Romans imagined them without physical appearances. The document also provides a table comparing major Greek gods with their Roman counterparts.
Compilation Of Philippine literature during Pre-Spanish and Spanish ColonizationJ. Svlle
During the pre-Spanish period, the Philippines had its own indigenous literature as seen in folktales, legends, folk songs, epics, and other oral traditions that showed Filipino customs and culture. Our ancestors also had their own writing system before the Spanish introduced the Roman alphabet. When the Spanish colonized the Philippines in the 16th century, they sought to convert the natives to Christianity and imposed Spanish language and culture. Spanish missionaries collected and translated ancient Filipino works. Religious themes then dominated literature, and Spanish influences included use of the Roman alphabet, Christian doctrines, and Spanish words. Some of the earliest printed books in the Philippines were Christian texts and translations of biblical stories.
This document provides an overview of various approaches to literary criticism and analysis. It discusses formalist, reader response, new historicist, Marxist, psychoanalytic, archetypal, feminist, existentialist, and postcolonial approaches. For each approach, it outlines key concepts, principles, and advantages and disadvantages. The overall document serves as a primer on different theoretical lenses through which literary works can be examined and interpreted.
The pre-Socratics were early Greek philosophers who lived between the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. They sought rational explanations for the world rather than attributing its creation to gods. The Milesian school believed the physical world was composed of a single element or "arche." Thales proposed water was the arche, while Anaximander said it was the infinite and Anaximenes said it was air. Anaxagoras believed all things contained a portion of everything else. Pythagoras and his followers explored mathematics and believed in concepts like the harmony of the spheres. Heraclitus was known for saying all things are in constant change.
Socrates, plato and the sophists 2.pptDaryl Bambic
Socrates was a famous philosopher in ancient Greece who is considered the father of western philosophy. Though he never wrote anything down, his student Plato documented their conversations. Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth and impiety, found guilty, and sentenced to death. He stood up for his principles against the Sophists, who argued that truth was subjective based on experience rather than objective forms discovered through reason. Plato further developed Socrates' ideas by proposing a metaphysical realm of eternal forms that provided the perfect concepts of justice, goodness, and truth.
The document discusses the meaning and branches of philosophy. It begins by explaining that philosophy comes from the Greek words "philos" meaning love and "sophia" meaning wisdom. The main branches of philosophy are defined as metaphysics, epistemology, axiology, and logic. Metaphysics is the study of existence and reality, epistemology is the study of knowledge, axiology is the study of values and ethics, and logic is the study of reasoning. Specific topics studied within these branches include ontology, cosmology, rationalism vs empiricism, and different types of knowledge such as revealed, authoritative, intuitive, rational, and empirical knowledge.
The document summarizes Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th century work Decameron, which describes the bubonic plague pandemic in Florence, Italy in 1348. It outlines how the plague spread from Asia to Europe, then arrived in Florence, discussing the visible symptoms like swollen lymph nodes. It notes the plague could spread from contact with infected fabrics or animals. This led to widespread fear among the people and breakdown of family ties as people tried to isolate or avoid the sick. Order in the city collapsed as authority was dissolved during the crisis.

This presentation discusses Communication in Multicultural set-up considering not only cultural differences, social backgrounds, biographical diverseness of every individual; but also factors that could help everyone in an intercultural communication setting.
Historical criticism seeks to understand how a text reflects the historical context in which it was written. It examines how the economy, politics, and social climate of the period may have influenced the author and questions whether the text references important figures, beliefs, or conflicts of the time in order to learn about the actual history of the period from the historical elements in the text.
Intellectual revolutions that defined societyJohn Rey Ravago
This document outlines several intellectual revolutions that have defined society: the Copernican revolution shifted the view of the Earth's place in the universe by proving the heliocentric model; the Darwinian revolution impacted biology by introducing evolution; and the Freudian revolution transformed psychiatry through psychoanalysis and the theory of personality development. It also discusses the information revolution brought by computer technology, contributions to archaeology from Meso-American civilizations, the development of freedom and nationhood in Asian countries, factors leading to revolutions in the Middle East, and Africa's fight against colonialism.
Academic research - Communication for Academic PurposesRona Marie Prado
The document discusses the nature and importance of academic research. It defines research as the scientific investigation and analysis of phenomena that links speculation with reality. Research benefits various sectors including businesses, schools, medical practice, and society. It allows organizations to improve and adjust based on facts and findings. Good research is objective, uses evidence to support problems and findings clearly, and is interesting and timely. Research can take various forms such as historical, descriptive, experimental, and business research.
This document discusses several theories related to phenomenology and interpretation. It covers Husserl's classical phenomenology, which focuses on direct conscious experience as a path to truth. Schutz' social phenomenology builds on this by examining how social and linguistic factors shape experience. Ricoeur's hermeneutics studies interpretation of texts. The document also discusses the muted group theory in feminism, which proposes that women's perspectives are marginalized due to lack of power. Key concepts discussed include lifeworld, typification, and the different realms of social reality.
Roland Barthes was a French literary critic, philosopher, and semiotician born in 1915. He argued that language and style rely on conventions rather than being purely creative. Different cultures can interpret symbols differently. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, how they make meaning, and how codes link signs to their meanings. Signs can be iconic, resembling what they represent, symbolic through shared cultural understanding, or indexical by triggering associations through the senses.
Virgil's epic poem the Aeneid tells the story of Aeneas's journey from Troy to Italy where he is destined to found Rome. It follows Aeneas as he travels to Carthage and has an affair with Dido before continuing on to Italy. There, he engages in battle with the local king Turnus, who opposes Aeneas's founding of a city. After many battles, Aeneas and Turnus face off in a final duel where Aeneas emerges victorious, fulfilling his destiny to establish Rome.
Cronus castrated his father Uranus and became the ruling Titan. He ate his children to retain power but Rhea tricked him, saving Zeus. Zeus grew up and overthrew Cronus and the Titans. The document then describes the major Greek gods and goddesses like Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Ares, and others, providing 1-2 sentences on their roles and relationships.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

3. Historical Context
◦ In 1976 this book holds significance to the disappearing people and tortured souls revolving
around the dictatorship, in this time period.
◦ In 1976 the ‘Dirty War’ took place, that in turn took thousands of people’s lives
◦ This had many forms of torture, kidnapping, and eventually murder of the citizen
◦ The government would often dump the bodies in the ocean, bury them at sea to avoid the unspoken truth they were killing part of their
own country
◦ They would also control what went on in the media, music they played, news people heard, and what history they are exposed to and what
they can be taught
◦ One last thing the government would do is hold their beliefs over others; meaning if they believed homosexuality wasn’t right they would
toss them in jail, or if they considered someone a threat they were labeled and restricted
4. Political Context
◦ These terms and restrictions upon the people of Argentina can include;
◦ The controlling of the music, news and what is inputted to the public,
◦ Kidnappings, and that brought along very extreme torture,
◦ Subtle aggression towards anyone that disagreed with the consensus of the government
◦ Certain words regarding the government like; communism, rebellion and criticism
◦ One of the political statements the book shows is the topic of homosexuality;
◦ This can affect the way people act to hide themselves – how they act, how they live, what people they surround
themselves with, their job in society
◦ Can also affect who gets imprisoned (if they are out and proud) – higher chance getting put in jail if they are
actively defying the rules set by the dictator government
◦ Homosexuality also has a definite feel in the beginning of the book that it is abnormal and not as naturally
occurring as the footnotes later on contradict with, including the fact that at the time it was seen as wrong.
5. Cultural Context
◦ In the way of culture a heavy form of Argentine Rock music was a way out, a haven for people to
rebel, use expression and poetic lyrics to symbolize and record the feelings of anger and the
anxious feeling of wanting freedom.
◦ Rebellion may be one of the ways that we as teenagers forge our own path however in Argentina this rock music
was the way to secretly;
◦ Discriminate against the government
◦ React to violence that was brought upon by the government
◦ The rock music the way it was written helped censor the meaning behind the words written in the scripts and
songs
◦ It also helped the idea of a different government alive and prospering, resisting the oppression that was
currently their life
6. Point of View
◦ The Point of View varies, as each new dash means a change of perspective, the good thing
about the book was that there was only two main people talking, and a few more near the end.
It reminds me of how a play is written out.
◦ The two main characters definitely differ in how they express their opinions and how they each
shape the story
◦ Molina who is a gay self-centered yet charming man who begins the story of this novel off, his voice is confident
but well meaning and certain in his own tone, however he accepts questions from his cellmate from time to time
◦ Valentine who is a fierce, opinionated and revolutionary man who seems kind of done with this man and his
story, but at the same time is intrigued and makes his questions known.
7. Mood
◦ The mood does change throughout the whole story; and just like everyday emotions it had its
ups and downs;
◦ The novel started off without a beat of an interesting storyline roughly called the Panther Woman, the
romantic scene that took place through the story shifted into heartbreak when she met her death by her
own doing.
◦ As the stories keep coming it seems to follow a pattern, people meet and they find happiness, then either
something tragic happens or one character is left in despair leaving it a cliff hanger and annoying to
never quite fully understand the ending
◦ Aside from the stories, the mood resembles caution and deception from the many half truths and lies; in
part because of the brutality of the cell situation, but also because of how their experiences are shaping
new relationships.
8. Protagonists
◦ There are two protagonists Molina and Valentin;
◦ Molina: Who is first introduced by starting to tell a story that leads to telling
multiple stories throughout the novel, he also is deceptive and becomes
captured by Valentin later in the book
◦ Valentin: Who is introduced responding to the start of Molina’s story, is a
revolutionary and left his love for a cause he believed in

9. The Plot
◦ Starts off with a gay man and a political prisoner in
prison together
◦ Molina (who is the gay man) winds stories together
while Valentin listens
◦ Eventually he mixes his life story into two movies
mashed together
◦ While Molina has been persuaded by early parole
to get information out of Valentin they continue to
bond and share
◦ The stories Molina tells slowly become ways to fight
off the loneness and the pain
◦ Struggling to find an even break they become
friends from a friendship that wasn’t so likely
◦ Molina then struggles with his friendship versus his
decision for early parole
◦ Molina and Valentin become lovers and when
granted freedom he asks for a way to get to the
rebellion to show his support to the government for
early parole
◦ When Molina shows up at the rebellion meeting he
gets shot and is killed before he can give the
message to them from Valentin
◦ Valentin in prison is still continuously tortured and
secretly given enough painkillers that he seems to
die
10. Theme
◦ A huge theme that was very recognizable was the active conversation of homosexuality and the
skeptical political stance, at least for the other people not in the jail cells, around it.
◦ Molina who is gay finds himself being attracted to Valentin later in the book and similarly does Valentin start to
find Molina attractive
◦ As well as saying they do go on to become in, a rough translations of the word, a relationship, homosexuality is
talked about in the sense of being very different than liking the opposite gender
◦ When Valentin can’t relate to the need and desire for Molins to be subservient to a man, and Molina struggles to
find a connection in finding all human beings are equal as Valentin believes it tends to create some conflict and
conversations regarding tons of topics that aren’t held back by either person
11. Symbols
◦ There are tons of symbols; they tend to be very big ones however that can seem very general
and broad
◦ The stories Molina tells:
◦ Holds a lot of meaning in the way he shows his experiences,
◦ Can hide certain meanings in what he feels his stance is, why he is there and what he believes
◦ It is a way to connect to his cellmate and pass the time
◦ And about the people both our main characters connect too; meaning that the stories can show figures we
connect too, in the outside world
◦ The cell itself
◦ Connects to the idea of caged and taken, they aren’t human just dumb animals
◦ Means they (and people as a whole) aren’t able to resist very well;
◦ The food
◦ Don’t have the option of taking food or asking for it, it is given, this can show the repression
◦ Choice is removed in the sense that, they might not always get it, can show the absence of respect
12. Interpretation
My time reading this book was long, it kept me confused and interested since the first page and
certainly didn’t hold back from showing what the book was about. Many topics, themes and ideas
regarding this book are comprehensive and as during the harsh times it wasn’t considered that it
should ever be written about. This book being written in the time period it was written in, with it being
published in the two years since the dictatorship had started, meaning that Manuel brings about the
government's restrictions and forces characters to live throughout these terms. As you read the stories
within the stories I came to realize that a lot of them end tragic or not knowing what they end like, it
reminds me of telling a life story from the reality of the person’s situation brought to fake life you can
reflect on. Molina expressing his ‘different’ personality in the book left room for repression and society
to shun him or take him away for ‘corrupting the minors’ as they thought gay thoughts might be
contagious. For him to be telling these stories and learning from Valentin is what gave him power to be
taught everyone can grown and fight. One of the quotes that really got me thinking was the “outlets for
sublimation would include any activity…that permits use of sexual energy considered to be excessive by
the cannons of our society” (Manuel Puig, page 163), so as he wasn’t maybe going to repress his
identity it would cost him his societal identity as well as life not among the people he cared about, at
least mostly
