Levi Strauss Modern Criticism
1,512 wordsStructure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences (Derrida, 1978: 278 293) may be read as the document of an event, although Derrida actually commences the essay with a reservation regarding the word event, as it entails a meaning which it is precisely the function of structural or structuralist thought to reduce or suspect (278). This, I infer, refers to the emphasis within structuralist discourse on the synchronous analysis of systems and relations within them, as opposed to a di...

American Psycho Commodity Fetishism And Social Reification

Strongly Anti Boer Boers Treated British
492 wordsThere were significant political conflicts between the two sides. The Boers treated all blacks very badly and did not give basic human rights even to the blacks working for them. They made them pay taxes but could not vote. It was said to be through religious reasons that the Boers treated blacks so badly.

Act Four Scene Lady Macbeth
1,929 wordsThe Demise of Lady Macbeth in Macbeth Lady Macbeth is first portrayed as a strong character in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Since she is introduced while calling on evil spirits to make her cruel, any reader can easily believe that she is manly, even more so than many of the male characters in the play. However, how strong and manly is she? Lady Macbeth's masculinity may be strong at first, but her feminine traits far outweigh her masculine ones. Lady Macbeth's ungraceful demise in Macbeth is due to t...

Postmodern Spatial Ity Represses Temporal Ity Space
4,978 wordsThe impetus behind this paper has been the recent publication of Fredric Jameson's 1991 Welleck Lectures, The Seeds of Time. 1 As these lectures were delivered a decade after Jameson's initial attempts to map the terrain of postmodernity it appeared to me to provide an occasion to reflect upon the current status of Jameson's highly influential and much criticised theory of postmodernism as the cultural logic of late capitalism. It also enables me to return to, what I consider to be, one of the m...
