British englishppt
This document discusses some of the major pronunciation differences between British and American English, including differences in stress patterns for certain words, pronunciation of vowels, and articulation of consonant sounds like "r" and "t". Key differences highlighted are that British English tends to stress the first syllable in words like "adult" and "ballet" whereas American English stresses the second, British English pronounces "bath" to rhyme with "path" while American English rhymes it with "math", and British English pronounces the "r" at the end of words while American English often drops or softens the "r".
Postcolonial Futures
1) Postcolonial theory originated in literary studies to examine the cultural impacts of colonialism, particularly how English was used to promote colonial ideologies.
2) Postcolonial studies problematize the distinction between "culture as art" versus "culture as way of life," and the concept of culture itself. They also challenge the colonial assumption that their own cultures were superior.
3) Looking to the future, postcolonial studies will remain grounded in analyzing the local impacts of large ideologies while also constructing theoretical frameworks for analysis and resistance. The field balances general theories with examinations of specific post-colonial realities.
Orientalism
Edward Said analyzes the last phase of Orientalism after World War 2. He discusses how after the wars, the United States replaced European powers as the dominant force in the Middle East and global politics. This led to increased American interest and involvement in the region. However, Said argues that Orientalism continued to propagate misrepresentations of Arab and Eastern cultures as exotic, backward, and dangerous. He provides several examples of how Arabs were negatively depicted in American media, textbooks, and cultural relations policy during this period.
The Myth of Superman
Umberto Eco analyzes the myth and character of Superman. He notes that Superman, though possessing god-like powers, lives a double identity as the mild-mannered Clark Kent. This allows for suspense in the stories. However, for Superman to remain an engaging character that is "consumed" in stories over time, his character must remain unchanged and "inconsumable." The plots of Superman stories therefore avoid implications of time and avoid any developments that could lead to an end for Superman. Eco argues that Superman represents and models the idea of "other-direction" for readers, avoiding responsibility or control over one's future.
Current issues in literary theory
Formalism emerged between 1915-1930 and focused on analyzing the internal features of literature such as structure and imagery, ignoring external historical and social contexts. It was eventually eliminated in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Both Russian formalism and New Criticism rejected examining literature through a historical lens and were interested in what makes text literary through techniques like defamiliarization. Defamiliarization aimed to make objects unfamiliar to prolong the process of perception and experience of art. New Criticism examined ambiguity, irony, and other elements of literary language and differed from Russian formalism in their interpretation and use of techniques.
