The document discusses various concepts related to narrative theory, including binary oppositions, levels of narrative, and frames. It examines how some films by David Lynch seem to contradict common assumptions about causality, linearity, and character identity in narratives. The document also discusses the concepts of multiplicity, becoming, simulation, and rupturing narratives. It provides examples of artworks that demonstrate these concepts, challenging traditional understandings of narratives.
The document provides an in-depth analysis and summary of Graham Greene's novel "The Tenth Man". It discusses how the novel portrays several themes prominent in post-war societies, including the psychological effects of war, loss of identity, loneliness, and lack of faith. It analyzes Greene's exploration of concepts like time, human nature, deception, and recovery of faith through the main character's journey. Overall, the summary examines how the novel captures the human condition and fragility in the aftermath of war through its characters and exploration of existentialist ideas.

This document discusses the role of chance in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet from the perspectives of several philosophers. It argues that chance, rather than fate or tragic spirit, is the main factor that drives the plot and leads to the tragic deaths of the two main characters. The document examines different views on chance, fate, and tragedy from thinkers like Hegel, Houlgate, Aristotle, and Frege to build the case that chance infiltrates the drama and undercuts the protagonists' actions.

- Jameson analyzes the threat posed by understanding history solely from a synchronic perspective, which views situations statically without considering their development over time. Focusing only on structures risks naturalizing them and eliminating the possibility of change.
- The document discusses the concepts of defamiliarization, how habitual perceptions can be disrupted to see things in a new light, and Orwell's arguments that political language can corrupt thought and that conscious effort is needed to improve writing.
- Key terms are introduced, such as synchronic vs. diachronic perspectives, ostranenie or defamiliarization, and how concepts from different thinkers relate to questions of language, perception, and politics.
Kate Chopin's works, including the short story "A Pair of Silk Stockings" and novel The Awakening, address the conflict between motherhood and personal identity from a feminist perspective. In both works, the needs of children reduce the mother to an object meant to guarantee the children's sense of self, rather than allowing the mother to have her own subjectivity. The Awakening in particular depicts Edna rejecting the role of being a "mother-woman" who must sacrifice her own identity. Both works show how motherhood as a social institution demands self-sacrifice from women, restricting their personal fulfillment and desire for self-ownership over their own lives.

O documento discute as contribuições de Bakhtin e Vygotsky para a psicologia, enfatizando que ambos viam a mente humana como produto social e histórico, formada através da linguagem e interação. Bakhtin criticou o freudismo por não reconhecer a dimensão histórica da linguagem e da psique humana. Ele defendia uma abordagem sociológica em vez de biológica para a psicologia.
Sigmund Freud viewed religion as an illusion based on infantile desires for a powerful father figure. He believed that religion was necessary early in civilization to restrain violent impulses, but can now be set aside in favor of reason and science. Freud saw religion as comparable to a childhood neurosis, arguing it was an attempt to control the world through wishes developed due to biological and psychological needs. He asserted religion derives its strength from fulfilling innate desires and should cease being used to justify the precepts of civilization.

The document discusses the key ideas of Romanticism and transcendentalism as expressed by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essays "Nature", "Self-Reliance", and "The Poet". It examines Emerson's view of the romantic sense of self as individualistic and intuition-driven, emphasizing feeling over reason. Emerson promoted the ideas of nonconformity and self-reliance, encouraging people to depend on their own resources and determine their own form of government. The document also explores how Emerson's philosophy was influenced by Romanticism and had an impact on later American writers like Walt Whitman.
A) Existentialism emphasizes existence over essence, meaning that humans define their own essence and meaning through their choices and actions rather than having a predetermined essence.
B) This leads to an "absurd condition" where humans seek meaning in a meaningless universe. It also leads to a sense of freedom but also responsibility over how one chooses to act with no external guidance.
C) Prominent existentialist philosophers include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus. Key concepts in existentialism include dread, anxiety, responsibility, and "bad faith" which is denying one's authentic self.

This document discusses perspectives and visions of truth in antebellum America through an analysis of Emerson's Nature and Frederick Douglass' narrative. It explores how Americans had competing visions of reality, shaped by factors like religion, slavery, and perceptions of national destiny. While Emerson advocated discovering universal truths through isolated contemplation of nature, Americans were actively constructing competing truths, making objective perspective difficult. The document examines how slavery, abolitionism, anti-Catholicism, and manifest destiny influenced American perspectives and visions of the nation.

CHAPTER 14:
SELECTION 14.2 The Second Sex* Simone de Beauvoir [This extract is from Beauvoir’s 1949 classic, The Second Sex.]
If her functioning as a female is not enough to define woman, if we decline also to explain her through “the eternal feminine,” and if nevertheless we admit, provisionally, that women do exist, then we must face the question: what is a woman? To state the question is, to me, to suggest, at once, a preliminary answer. The fact that I ask it is in itself significant. A man would never set out to write a book on the peculiar situation of the human male. But if I wish to define myself, I must first of all say: “I am a woman”; on this truth must be based all further discussion. A man never begins by presenting himself as an individual of a certain sex; it goes without saying that he is a man. The terms masculine and feminine are used symmetrically only as a matter of form, as on legal papers. In actuality the relation of the two sexes is not quite like that of two electrical poles, for man represents both the positive and the neutral, as is indicated by the common use of man to designate human beings in general; whereas woman represents only the negative, defined by limiting criteria, without reciprocity. In the midst of an abstract discussion it is vexing to hear a man say: “You think thus and so because you are a woman”; but I know that my only defence is to reply: “I think thus and so because it is true,” thereby removing my subjective self from the argument. It would be out of the question to reply: “ And you think the contrary because you are a man,” for it is understood that the fact of being a man is no peculiarity. A man is in the right in being a man; it is the woman who is in the wrong. It amounts to this: just as for the ancients there was an absolute vertical with reference to which the oblique was defined, so there is an absolute human type, the masculine. Woman has ovaries, a uterus: these peculiarities imprison her in her subjectivity, circumscribe her within the limits of her own nature. It is often said that she thinks with her glands. Man superbly ignores the fact that his anatomy also includes glands, such as the testicles, and that they secrete hormones. He thinks of his body as a direct and normal connection with the world, which he believes he apprehends objectively, whereas he regards the body of woman as a hindrance, a prison, weighed down by everything peculiar to it. “The female is a female by virtue of a certain lack of qualities,” said Aristotle; “we should regard the female nat.

It notes that a good paper includes an argument supported by evidence from the primary text and analysis showing why the argument is relevant. It should not rely on plot summary or obvious claims. The document also provides definitions and examples of literary terms and techniques like metaphor, irony, and genre. It discusses Foucault's views on how discourse is controlled and distributed in a society through various rules and systems of exclusion.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

“‘So I am afraid,’ Wilbourne said. ‘I wasn’t afraid then because I was in
eclipse but I am awake now and I can be afraid now, thank God. Because
this Anno Domini 1938 has no place in it for love. They used money against
me while I was asleep because I was vulnerable in money. Then I waked up
and rectified the money and I thought that I had beat Them until that night
when I found out They had used respectability on me and that it was harder
to beat than money. So I am vulnerable in neither money nor respectability
now and so They will have to find something else to force us to conform to
the pattern of human life which has now evolved to do without love—to
conform, or die. […] Of course we cant beat Them; we are doomed of
course, that’s why I am afraid.’”
— William Faulkner, The Wild Palms, ch. 5 * Butler, p. 20
2. Judith Butler (1956–)
● Professor of rhetoric,
comparative literature,
and philosophy at UC
Berkeley.
● Best known for her post-
structuralist work in
gender theory, including
Gender Trouble and
Bodies That Matter.
● Recent work focuses on
the relationship between
Jewish philosophy and
notions of state violence. Butler receiving the Theodor W.
Adorno Prize in 2012.
3. Mourning and Melancholia
● In psychoanalytic terms, mourning refers (broadly and
generally speaking) to a process in which the loss of
a beloved object is acknowledged and, gradually,
resolved.
– For Freud (at least in his earlier thought), this process
involves acknowledging the loss (by separating the ego
from the lost object) and re-investing the psychic energy
previously associated with it in a new object.
● Melancholia, on the other hand, is a state of
continuing (and possibly intermittent) sadness caused
by an inability to understand and acknowledge loss.
– Melancholia is thus mourning that is unresolved because
the lost object is incorporated into the ego, and the
necessary process of re-integration is blocked.
4. ● … is, therefore, central to the resolution of loss.
● … necessarily involves a transformation of the
sense of self, even as it seeks to preserve the
construction of that understanding.
“Perhaps, rather, one mourns when one accepts that
by the loss one undergoes one will be changed,
possibly for ever. […] I do not think, for instance, that
one can invoke the Protestant ethic when it comes to
loss. One cannot say, ‘Oh, I’ll go through loss this
way, and that will be the result, and I’ll apply myself to
the task, and I’ll endeavor to achieve the resolution of
grief that is before me.’” (21)
The process of grieving
5. Relational identities
“It is not as if an ‘I’ exists independently over
here and then simply loses a ‘you’ over there,
especially if the attachment to ‘you’ is a part of
what composes who ‘I’ am.” (22)
“We’re undone by each other. […] This seems
so clearly the case with grief, but it can be so
only because it was already the case with
desire.” (23)
“As a mode of relation, neither gender nor sexuality
is precisely a possession, but, rather, is a mode of
being dispossessed, a way of being for another or by
virtue of another.” (24)
6. “Although we struggle for rights over our own bodies,
the very bodies for which we struggle are not quite
ever only our own. The body has its invariably public
dimension. Constituted as a social phenomenon in
the public sphere, my body is and is not mine. Given
over from the start to the world of others, it bears their
imprint, is formed within the crucible of social life; only
later, and with some uncertainty, do I lay claim to my
body as my own, if, in fact, I ever do.” (26)
“I may wish to reconstitute my ‘self’ as if it were there
all along, a tacit ego with acumen from the start; but
to do so would be to deny the various forms of
rapture and subjection that formed the condition of
my emergence as an individuated being.” (27)
7. Violence
“violence is, always, an exploitation of that primary tie,
that primary way in which we are, as bodies, outside
ourselves and for one another.” (27)
“Violence is surely a touch of the worst order, a way a
primary human vulnerability to other humans is exposed
in its most terrifying way, a way in which we are given
over, without control, to the will of another, a way in which
life itself can be expunged by the willful action of
another.” (28-29)
“Although I am insisting on referring to a common human
vulnerability, one that emerges with life itself, I also insist
that we cannot recover the source of this vulnerability: it
precedes the formation of ‘I.’” (31)
8. This leads to several questions …
● How do we designate certain acts of violence as
relevant, in various ways, to “us”?
– For instance, as “terrorist” or as an instantiation of
“righteous anger.”
● How do we grieve for these acts of “publicly directed
violence”?
– For whom do we grieve?
– How is the allowability of grief determined?
– What form does this grief take?
– What tasks does it accomplish?
– How does this intersect with our notion of what “human”
means?
9. “Nations are not the same as individual
psyches, but both can be described as
‘subjects,’ albeit of different orders. When the
United States acts, it establishes a conception
of what it means to act as an American,
establishes a norm by which that subject might
be known.” (Butler 41)
in part, because …
– “There is no ideology except by the subject and for
subjects.” (Althusser 1268)
– “Ideology has a material existence.” (Althusser
1265)
10. As Walter Benjamin has it …
“It is no accident that the portrait was the focal point of early
photography. The cult of remembrance of loved ones, absent
or dead, offers a last refuge for the cult value of the picture.
For the last time the aura emanates from the early
photographs in the fleeting expression of a human face. This
is what constitutes their melancholy, their incomparable
beauty.” (“The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical
Reproduction,” VII)
“By close-ups of the things around us, by focusing on hidden
details of familiar objects, by exploring commonplace milieus
under the ingenious guidance of the camera, the film, on the
one hand, extends our comprehension of the necessities
which rule our lives; on the other hand, it manages to assure
us of an immense and unexpected field of action.” (“Work of
Art,” XIII)
11. Margaret Atwood (1939–)
● Best known for her novels,
including The Handmaid’s Tale
(1985), The Blind Assassin
(200), and Oryx and Crake
(2003).
● Oryx and Crake is the first book
of a trilogy, followed by The
Year of the Flood (2009) and
MaddAddam (August 2013).
● Atwood’s novels are often
concerned with post-
apocalyptic and feminist
themes; she (often) works
within a genre she identifies as
“speculative fiction.”
12. Post-post-modern entertainment
“So they’d roll a few joints and smoke them while
watching the executions and the porn – the body
parts moving around on the screen in slow motion,
an underwater ballet of flesh and blood under stress,
hard and soft joining and separating, groans and
screams, close-ups of clenched eyes and clenched
teeth, spurts of this or that. If you switched back and
forth fast, it all came to look like the same event.
Sometimes they’d have both things on at once, each
on a different screen.” (86; ch. 4)
“Jimmy felt burned by this look – eaten into, as if by
acid. She’d [Oryx had] been so contemptuous of him.
[…] But for the first time, he’d felt that what they’d
been doing was wrong.” (91; ch. 4)
13. What is real?
“She [Sharon] was like a real mother and he [Jimmy]
was like a real child.” (30; ch. 2)
“Why don’t we use a real set?” Jimmy asked
one day when they were doing some chess. “The
old kind. With plastic men.” […]
“Why?” said Crake. “Anyway, this is a real set.”
“No it’s not.”
“Okay, granted, but neither is plastic men.”
“What?”
“The real set is in your head.” (77; ch. 4)
“He [Snowman] feels the need to hear a human
voice – a fully human voice, like his own.” (10; ch. 1)
14. The distribution of vulnerability
“Jimmy’s mother said that didn’t change the
fact that she felt like a prisoner. Jimmy’s father
said she didn’t understand the reality of the
situation. Didn’t she want to be safe, didn’t she
want her son to be safe?” (53; ch. 4)
“Despite the sterile transport corridors and the
high-speed bullet trains, there was always a
risk when you went through the city. […]
Compound people didn’t go to the cities
unless they had to, and then never alone.
They called the cities the pleeblands.” (27; ch.
2)
15. Long ago, in the days of knights and
dragons, the kings and dukes had lived in
castles, with high walls and drawbridges and
slots on the ramparts so you could pour hot
pitch on your enemies, said Jimmy’s father, and
the Compounds were the same idea. Castles
were for keeping you and your buddies nice
and safe inside, and for keeping everybody
else outside.
“So are we the kings and dukes?” asked
Jimmy.
“Oh, absolutely,” said his father, laughing.
(28; ch. 2)
16. Who distributes? Who decides?
“Old enough, Snowman thinks as he scratches
himself […]. Such a dumb concept. Old enough for
what? To drink, to fuck, to know better? What
fathead was in charge of making those decisions?
For example, Snowman himself isn’t old enough
for this, this – what can it be called? This
situation.” (23; ch. 2)
“This would upset Jimmy; he was confused about
who should be allowed to eat what. He didn’t want
to eat a pigoon, because he thought of the pigoons
as creatures much like himself. Neither he nor
they had a lot of say in what was going on.” (24)
17. What “situation”?
“But everyone’s parents moaned on about stuff
like that. Remember when you could drive
anywhere? Remember when everyone lived in
the pleeblands? Remember when you could fly
anywhere in the world, without fear?
Remember hamburger chains, always real
beef, remember hot-dog stands? Remember
before New York was New New York?
Remember when voting mattered?” (63; ch. 4)
“Crake turned up at HelthWyzer High in
September or October, one of those months
that used to be called autumn.” (71)
18. “You want to know everything,” said Oryx. (92)
