Papadzules: Walter Benjamin and Tim Burton
http://papadzules.blogspot.com/2008/05/walter-benjamin-and-tim-burton.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Walter Benjamin and Tim Burton. In telling the story of my father's life, it's impossible to separate fact from fiction, the man from the myth. The best I can do is to tell it the way he told me. It doesn't always make sense and most of it never happened. but that's what kind of story this is. Watch "Big Fish" finale.

Papadzules: Personal Economy and the Ability to Perceive
http://papadzules.blogspot.com/2008/05/personal-economy-and-ability-to.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Personal Economy and the Ability to Perceive. That being said, I would like to reflect on a small point that Herrnstein-Smith made that I felt was particularly insightful:. Moreover, the subject's experiences of an entity are not discrete, or strictly speaking, successive, because recollection and anticipation always overlay perception, and the units of what we call 'experience' themselves vary and overlap. I have wondered before about my own perceptive abilities. I am asked a...

Papadzules: The Death of the...Person?
http://papadzules.blogspot.com/2008/05/death-of-person.html
Tuesday, May 6, 2008. The Death of the.Person? This semester in Spanish Linguistics class, we learned an important distinction between the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis of linguistic relativity. And the vision of cognitive linguistics. Do we first have cognition, or a way of seeing and understanding the world, or do we first have language which then shapes the way that we see and understand the world? I find it difficult to embrace Barthes' radical ideas about the death of the author given my situated-ness in a...

on literary matters and such: On Cleanth Brooks and formalism
http://ofliterarymattersandsuch.blogspot.com/2008/09/on-cleanth-brooks-and-formalism.html
On literary matters and such. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. On Cleanth Brooks and formalism. Why do we consider form such an immovable, illuminating thing? Why do critics consider it the unshakable alternative to Wimsatt's and Beardsley's dreaded fallacies? Why do we expect that structure guarantees Truth, and consider historical/biographical discussions flimsy wanderings yielding relativism? What if its historical function had been.

on literary matters and such: More on classic status (and a crazy YouTube video)
http://ofliterarymattersandsuch.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-on-classic-status-and-crazy.html
On literary matters and such. Sunday, May 4, 2008. More on classic status (and a crazy YouTube video). Literary critic Roland Barthes writes:. So, considering my lack of exposure and experience in the area, I wonder what creative reading actually looks like? How does one jointly-produce a text through reading? Rather than accepting and/or rejecting, does the reader accept some and reject some? Does that show readerly discernment? Does one write essays in response, creatively altering the text? Which uses...

the literary critter: The need to read
http://theliterarycritter.blogspot.com/2008/04/need-to-read.html
Friday, April 25, 2008. The need to read. We've talked so much in class about the questions what is literature? And what is reading? While it seems worthwhile for readers and writers to consider the success of increasingly canonical ethnic and women writers, are the ideas and successes limited to the sub-culture of readers? Can they affect society as a whole? I read an article by Andrew Solomon called " The Closing of the American Book. We need to teach people not only how,. But also why to read. What li...

The Theory Song of E. Lynn Powell: April 2008
http://emilylynnpowell.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
The Theory Song of E. Lynn Powell. April 30, 2008. How do I even begin to criticize a paper written by the professor? That would be like walking on thin ice.I truly want to do well in this class and not fall through into the freezing water of a "C" on my transcript. Yikes! But as I read the essay, typically looking for things I could disagree with, I found that my points of rebuttal were assuaged as I read more and more. Powers, you covered it all! Is it just for the classroom? Frankly, I think this is t...

Papadzules: Cleanth Brooks is a Convincing Formalist
http://papadzules.blogspot.com/2008/05/cleanth-brooks-is-convincing-formalist.html
Monday, May 5, 2008. Cleanth Brooks is a Convincing Formalist. The responses that Brooks references are critical responses that would take into account an author's "sincerity" (or the intensity of his feeling as he or she composed a work) and also the intensity of a reader's reaction when reading a work. Once again, the Formalists acknowledge. The validity of an author's experience or a reader's emotional response but deny. Are these really the only alternatives? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

the literary critter: To live sin fronteras
http://theliterarycritter.blogspot.com/2008/04/to-live-sin-fronteras.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. To live sin fronteras. To survive the Borderlands. You must live sin fronteras. A's book Borderlands / La Frontera. And found that it addresses a lot of the issues that seem prevalent in discussions of authorial identity. The book is an autobiography of sorts. Her personal cultural placement. And the various kinds of borders that form binary oppositions. In her chapter "La conciencia de la mestiza. Towards a New Consciousness,". In ways that only reinforce the opposition. I am an...
