    After reading the article, “Mirrors for my Daughter’s Bookshelf,” I feel a little embarrassed when I think about diversity at my school in Washington Heights. As many New Yorkers know, many of the residents in Washington Heights are immigrants (i.e. first, second, or third generation immigrants) from the Dominican Republic. Thus, the vast majority of my students are from the Dominican Republic, and they can speak both English and Spanish. Each day, I learn something new about the Dominican culture, and how this culture is similar and different from the other Caribbean islands like the one I come from, Jamaica. However, as I am becoming more diverse with my exposure to my students, I’m afraid that apart from their exposure to me, the students are not being given a diverse education.…

    Foucault's Mirrors

    Further challenges to Boyer’s celebration of the potentiality of the terrains vague because of its vacancy and temporariness comes from Gil Doron. Doron argues that emptiness is not an inner-quality of the terrains vague, but is represented and imagined by people in power: the terrains vague “are rarely empty but…have been portrayed as empty (and often as transgressive and dangerous).” (207) According to Doron’s observation, while many terrains vague have been “populated by marginalized communities,” they are imagined by the dominating power as a ‘wasteland,’ so that the state could cooperate these spaces into the city plan. Like Boyer, Doron also referrers to Foucault’s “mirror,” yet using it in a way faithful to Foucault’s own articulation of the “mirror” in Of Other Places: “…it is tempting to think about the heterotopia as a place that is seen/created from the Other, unreal side of the mirror—looking at the real, while the dead zone is constructed from the real side of the mirror looking at unreal space and imagining nothingness.”…

    Critical Appreciation of M.H. Abrams’s “Orientation of critical theories” M.H. Abrams’s The Mirror and the Lamp: romantic theories and the critical traditions is one of the most influential books in the field of western criticism. It was published in the year of 1953. The title of the book refers to the two contradictory metaphors used to portray the artist – one comparing the artist to a mirror that reflects nature as it is or perfected whereas the other compares the artist to a lamp that illuminates the object under consideration. Professor Abrams in his book illustrates the transition of the perspective of the theorists on the artist from one to the other and the ramifications of the latter in aesthetics, poetics and practical criticism.…
