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. 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 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...

English to Gikuyu and Back Again. April 22, 2008, 6:28 pm. Today in class, while discussing Ngugi and his proposal to abolish the English department, I brought up the question as to whether or not Ngugi’s flip-flopper attitude regarding politics and social stances affects the validity of his arguments. In particular, I’m thinking about his decision to exclusively write. Devil on the Cross. Leave a Comment so far. Feed for comments on this post. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

He’s Got the Whole World. April 24, 2008, 8:54 pm. Calls for the abolition of the English department based primarily on the conclusion that Eurocentrism and Western emphasis is largely a phantom “truth”. Ngugi. States, “ Underlying the suggestions is a basic assumption that the English tradition and the emergence of the modern west is the central of our consciousness and cultural heritage. Africa becomes an extension of the west. While I originally found myself championing alongside Ngugi’s. Furthermore,...

The Theory Song of E. Lynn Powell: March 2008
http://emilylynnpowell.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
The Theory Song of E. Lynn Powell. March 8, 2008. PS After seeing Foucault in action in video form, I realize he looks like and has the same mannerisms as my fiance's dad. Noam Chomsky vs. Michel Foucault. Note: I do not know how to post a video on my blog yet, but I will post the video I am responding to as soon as I know how. So Foucault is also associated with structuralism and poststructuralism. After reading and discussing "What is an Author? And how is it exerted? I think, maybe yes. For exampl...

On literary matters and such. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Where soul meets body and we learn by signs. Several weeks ago I attended an inspiring lecture by poetry professor Christine Perrin during which she said (something to the effect of) ".The church needs this, too. Often we're told that truth can occur without beauty and the soul without the body. It's a lie.". For the complete - and accurate - quote read The Bridge. But what if the images are. Augustine writes about the value of signs, writing.
