1. Critical theory is declared dead by the author, who sees this as an opportunity to reflect on the end of an era of thought.
2. Modernism embraced grand narratives like progress, universalism, and faith in science that postmodernism rejects. Postmodernism emphasizes local differences and rejects universal truths.
3. Philosophers like Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Derrida, and Lyotard contributed to postmodern anti-foundationalism and the idea that knowledge is socially constructed and tied to power relations.
4. Postmodernism is criticized for being relativistic, vague, and paradoxically relying on its own metanarrative. Its implications for research include
Eldred write-up
This document is a multimedia project for an English class analyzing quotes from literary works through images. It contains 4 slides pairing quotes with images: 1) A quote from Heart of Darkness paired with The Wizard of Oz, discussing expectations; 2) The same Heart of Darkness quote paired with Martin Luther King Jr., discussing men known for their words; 3) A Dexter quote and image discussing influences on morality; 4) A quote from another work paired with Hannah Montana discussing feeling like two people. The project aims to show different interpretations of quotes by changing their context.

This document summarizes and analyzes urban legends. It defines urban legends as modern stories of obscure origin that spread spontaneously in varying forms through people seeking to deal with deep anxieties. Examples of well-known urban legends are discussed. The document also explores how urban legends spread through gossip and retelling, with each person adding their own twist. Many urban legends contain lessons or warnings that create vivid imagery to influence listeners' behavior. Urban legends demonstrate the social constructs of oral storytelling and take on lives of their own as they are perpetually retold and reshaped through social interaction. The document also discusses a mythological/archetypal approach to analyzing urban legend characters and settings that represent societal lessons.
Realism
Contemporary philosophical realism asserts that reality exists independently of human conceptions. Realism can be defined in relation to other minds, past/future, universals, mathematics, morality, the material world, or thoughts. Realism claims that the mind-independent world exists, unlike idealism, skepticism or solipsism. Realists believe truth involves correspondence between the mind and reality.
The stranger themes
The document provides a summary and analysis of themes, motifs, and symbols in Albert Camus' novel The Stranger. Some of the major themes discussed include the irrationality of the universe, the meaninglessness of human life, and the importance of the physical world. Key motifs examined are decay and death, and watching and observation. The courtroom and crucifix are identified as important symbols in the novel relating to society and the search for rational order and meaning.
Race, Violence, and Revolution
The document summarizes the author's argument that race relations in America can be understood through a Hegelian dialectic of race, violence, and revolution. The author argues that blacks live under a regime of white supremacist violence that is both physical and ideological/symbolic. This regime can only be overcome through a revolutionary negation that is itself a violent act, even if non-physical. The movement from the current world to a new one will follow the same dialectical path as the original establishment of oppression.
The History Of Horror Films
The history of horror films document discusses how horror has been an art form used to terrify audiences through stories for centuries, from ancient ballads to modern myths. Horror movies serve to thrill viewers while also telling cautionary tales that reflect the anxieties of their time. Early horror movies were largely based on classic Gothic literature like Dracula and Frankenstein, and more recent films continue to draw from these literary monsters. The document also provides a brief summary of the 1973 horror film Don't Look Now, directed by Nicolas Roeg and based on a story by Daphne du Maurier, about a couple in Venice who experience strange psychic visions after their daughter drowns.

Realism
This document discusses philosophical realism and some of its key aspects:
1) Philosophical realism is the belief that reality exists independently of human concepts, beliefs, and language.
2) Realism can apply to different domains like other minds, the past, universals, and the material world.
3) Realists assert that truth involves correspondence between the mind and reality, as opposed to idealism which denies mind-independent reality.
Mindm p
A proposed TV drama would focus on a group of kids trying to succeed in fashion school and their careers while balancing school, with possible subgenres including comedy, thriller, science fiction, and crime. Another option centers around social media and its dangers, while a third possibility looks at how gang violence and knife crime can impact the lives of youth through a continuous mystery of a guilty character.
Heart of darkness
The document discusses themes in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness such as denotation vs connotation, the journey into the heart of darkness, and symbols of hell. It explores how the mind can perceive hell differently and how Kurtz saw his own hell. Evil and darkness are discussed as residing in the core of humanity. The Stanford Prison Experiment and Milgram experiments are brought up in relation to Philip Zimbardo's work on how good people can be led to do evil. Questions are posed about whether Kurtz was corrupted by the Congo or if his evil was always there.
Claude-Levi Strauss
Claude Levi Strauss studied myths and found that humans make sense of the world through binary opposites. He discovered that narratives are structured around the conflict between opposing concepts like good vs evil. Along with Roland Barthes, he theorized that words derive their meaning not from their own definitions, but from their relationship with their opposing concepts.

Narrative theory
1. Narrative is defined as a chain of events in a cause-effect relationship that occurs over time, with a beginning, middle, and end.
2. Theorists have identified common narrative structures and elements across different texts, including character archetypes and codes that help audiences understand and interpret narratives.
3. Narrative analysis involves considering how various narrative elements like mise-en-scene, editing, and sound work together to construct meaning for audiences.
