Compact Disk Popular Music
1,485 words... d. It is always so associated with a Utopia, or more recently with anti-Utopia, so far lifted out of its environment, that its form tends to choke it.

Notion That Language Nature Of Language Sign
1,597 wordsWithin many English departments around the country today, radical claims about the nature of language have entered into discussions about literary texts. Bred out of the modern critical theory of Deconstruction, these discussions question if the true "meaning" of language can ever be determined. As a mode of literary analysis, Deconstruction essentially asserts that meaning within texts is at best indeterminate and arbitrary, as the language in which they are written is said to "fail, " to be "s...

I would argue that reconstruct-ion connects my understanding of hypertext to feminism and Derrida by reinterpreting the binary code 0 as the feminine, which is always bottom but not last. She is the base upon which the number 1 rests and she provides the trace that enables 1 (the masculine) to define himself in difference to the other. She is closer to God, I ...

Carl Gustav Jung Invisible Man
10,356 wordsAccording to Goethe, We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe. Despite the hyperbolic nature of Goethe's statement, it holds some truth. Because of this element of truth, society looks to psychoanalysis as an important tool for understanding human nature.
