This document discusses how New Historicism and Cultural Materialism approaches analyze William Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. New Historicism seeks to understand the play in the context of Shakespeare's time and views him as reflecting the political institutions of the era. Cultural Materialism uses Shakespeare's plays to influence current politics and believes the meaning of his works depends on the current cultural context, rejecting the idea that culture is fixed or unchangeable.

Essay ( soviet culture)
Stalin believed that culture and arts should serve the Soviet state by promoting socialist ideals. He rejected artistic freedom and individual expression, instead requiring art to conform to socialist realism that glorified the Communist party and Stalin's leadership. Artists who did not adhere to these rules were often purged. As a result, Soviet art during 1928-1941 was tightly controlled propaganda that promoted Stalin's vision of building socialism and industrializing the nation through monumental, realistic styles that were easy for the masses to understand. This made art an effective tool for shaping public opinion but came at the cost of originality and mediocrity as only compliant artists could survive under Stalin's rule.

Arnold’s concept of culture
Matthew Arnold's concept of culture is defined as pursuing perfection through knowledge of the best ideas and works in the world. This allows one to develop fresh perspectives beyond existing habits. Culture aims for harmonious perfection by developing all aspects of humanity and society. The pursuit of culture and perfection seeks "sweetness and light" - the union of beauty and intelligence. Greatness is a spiritual condition of inspiring love, interest and admiration. Overall, culture is an endless process of expanding knowledge and wisdom to work towards perfection.
New historicism & Cultural materialism
This document provides an overview of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism critical theories. It defines New Historicism as examining literature within its historical context through parallel readings of literary and non-literary texts from the same time period. Cultural Materialism studies the implications of literary texts in history and takes a materialist approach, seeing culture as the object of study rather than just literature. The document outlines the key influences, characteristics, differences and examples of applying these theories to texts like Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Othello.
17 113-1-pb[1] tergdaleulebi
This document discusses the changing identity of Georgian nobles in the 19th century as Georgia transitioned from being independent kingdoms to being annexed by the Russian Empire in 1801. It describes how the Georgian nobility initially lost political power and privileges but some were able to obtain positions in the Russian civil and military administration. Many young nobles from impoverished families studied abroad in Russian universities, exposing them to new ideas. This created a conflict between their traditional upbringing and the modernizing influences from Russia. The document examines the tensions faced by this generation, called the "Tergdaleulebi", as they straddled two different worlds and identities upon returning to Georgia.
Russian Arts
Russian art developed from folk art and the Orthodox Church for much of its history as Russia was under Mongol rule during the Renaissance. Peter I and Catherine II secularized Russian culture in the 18th century. However, Russian artists often had to leave Russia to escape realism imposed by Russian critics, with many developing their styles in Western Europe. The document then discusses Russian literature, noting Russia's isolation from Western traditions and the complex relationship between embracing and rejecting Western influence that is seen in many Russian authors. It also provides overviews of Russian music, including contributions from various ethnic groups in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, as well as prominent 19th century composers. Famous Russian portrait painters and styles of realism and critical realism

Session five
Thomas Wilson discusses lending practices in his 1572 work A Discourse Upon Usury. He argues that lending freely without interest helps neighbors in need, while lending for profit turns a virtuous act into a greedy vice. He also claims that Jews are universally hated for practicing usury, or lending with interest, and that English money lenders are no better than Jews for profiting off others' financial needs.

Romero's Zombies
George Romero is known for revolutionizing the zombie genre with his Dead series of films beginning with Night of the Living Dead in 1968. In these films, zombies became representations of American culture and social issues, rather than exotic others. Romero portrayed zombies as metaphors for topics like racism, consumerism, containment during the Cold War, terrorism, and media panic. Other scholars have analyzed how Romero's zombies critique capitalist society and represent social processes and the disintegration of communal bonds.

It discusses key concepts like the impact of the printing press and changing nature of books and reading. Sample exam questions are provided covering topics like the history of sitcoms, depictions of monsters in horror, and Shakespearean adaptations.
War Trauma
Trauma theory explores how traumatic events overwhelm existing meaning systems and are outside normal human experience. However, what constitutes trauma depends on individual factors like gender, race, and religion. Traumatic experiences may be unknowable at first but later return to haunt survivors. Literary works can help readers understand trauma through figurative language and symbols that register events unable to be directly experienced. Analyzing works by authors like Don DeLillo and Paul Auster provides insights into how cultural texts construct frameworks for comprehending traumatic historical events like 9/11.
Anti War Literature
The document discusses different representations of war in literature from the 1950s onward. It begins with realist/naturalist representations from WWII literature that portrayed war as hell and involved loss of innocence. Catch-22 challenged these conventions with its absurdist take on war. Later postmodern works fragmented narratives, questioned objective truth, and exposed the illogical nature of war through time travel and metafictional devices. Kurt Vonnegut's works like Slaughterhouse-Five employed these techniques as a way to represent his own experiences as a prisoner of war in Dresden.
Perspectives Of War
Clint Eastwood's films Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima provide perspectives on war from both the American and Japanese sides. Many war films aim to emotionalize conflicts and dehumanize enemies by showing them as threatening masses rather than individuals. The document discusses topics for discussing representations of war in film, including realism, how they are received by audiences, and how they shape cultural memory versus providing truthful accounts.
Written on the Body
This document discusses the body and skin as sites of cultural meaning and signification. It explores how the female body is typically constructed for the male gaze in mainstream erotic spectacles but how the Suicide Girls disrupt this by displaying tattooed bodies that inject new meaning. Their marked skin serves to disrupt conventional images of femininity and gender norms by establishing an alternative subjectivity through their control of how their bodies are displayed.
