Realism & Naturalism L 8.pptx
American Realism aimed to depict everyday life and social realities in a realistic style through literature, art, and music in the late 19th century. As industrialization increased, so did immigration, trade, growth, and cultural expression captured through realist works. Mark Twain used colloquial language that helped define an American voice and works like Huckleberry Finn condemned racism. Henry James transitioned between realism and modernism with novels examining social dynamics and stream of consciousness writing. American Naturalism that emerged viewed humans as subject to deterministic forces beyond their control, as seen in Faulkner's Gothic story A Rose for Emily.

Virginia Woolf was born in 1882 in London to an intellectual family. She grew up surrounded by literature but suffered from mental illness throughout her life. Some of her most famous works include Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando, which explored themes of feminism, mental illness, and the passage of time through modernist techniques. Woolf helped form the Bloomsbury Group and co-founded the Hogarth Press with her husband. Despite her struggles with mental health, she produced groundbreaking fiction until her death by suicide in 1941.
Characteristics of 20th Century American Novel
Novels of the 20th century underwent significant changes in form and style compared to previous eras. Chapters were broken into fragments and sentences dissolved into streams of interior thought, influenced by Freudian psychology and Marxism. Truth became relative and novels dealt in no absolutes. Traditional narration was replaced with subjective perspectives that emphasized consciousness over plot and character coherence. The past was discovered imperfectly through effort. Dominant themes included facing reality, social awareness, and loneliness. Experimental styles flourished alongside realism, with an emphasis on perspective and portraying the human condition through moving dramas. Minority literature also grew in the later decades.
MRS DALLOWAY by Virginia Woolf
The document provides an in-depth summary of Virginia Woolf's 1925 novel Mrs. Dalloway. It discusses the novel's main characters Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Warren Smith, both of whom struggle with their mental health in post-World War 1 London. Clarissa questions her decisions in life as she plans a party, while Septimus suffers from PTSD. The summary also analyzes Woolf's modernist stream-of-consciousness style, the themes of trauma from the war and gender roles, and how the characters illuminate post-war English society through their perspectives.

Social realism developed in the late 19th century as a reaction against romanticism and idealism. It depicted ordinary working class life realistically through visual art and literature. Some notable social realist artists included Pablo Picasso, Eduard Pignon, and Francis Gruber, while writers like Theodore Dreiser and Upton Sinclair depicted American life realistically. Social realism focused on the industrial working class and brought attention to issues like poor working conditions, as highlighted by events like the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City and Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle, which exposed problems in the American meat industry.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
