Deconstruction

In Bodies that Matter Judith Butler replies to the criticism of her earlier book Gender Trouble. She argues with the feminist thinkers who see the body as matter--a material body with a sexual specification. According to her the body does not exist beyond a cultural construction. It serves as a site for the feminist theory independently of such a pre-discursive definition. In her introduction she explains: For surely bodies live and die; eat and sleep; feel pain, pleasure; endure illness and…

music history but also carry semantics that point towards life, death and irony in between. Berio’s use of the voice, has never been conventional, since pieces like “Circles” and Sequenza III, the composer demonstrated to be more interested on the deconstruction of the musical material and of the “voice” itself. He is not as much concerned with quoting vocal lines from any work, as he is with incorporating voices like instruments into the music. However, in the third movement his vocal treatment…

The methodology that use LatCrit to achieve its goal is narrative: “One of the goals of CRT and LatCrit has been to challenge and add context to racialized histories.

Sartre would say, “man is condemned to be free” , he means that we are thrown in this world in our own and be responsible for everything we do. Instead of realizing our identity as free beings we often pretend as determined objects.

“Cultural critiques consist of the energetic deconstruction of powerful ideas, institutions and practices” (Dyrness, 208). This statement begins to formulate an essence of continuous process of social justice reform. Informing us that as long as there are cultural creations through the many (different) facets of people, a recycling of emerging dialect of ideas will be formulated to maintain and recreate institutions and practice. The perspective of marginalized groups rely drastically on theses…

indigenous writers, Lee Maracle’s short essay “Oratory : Coming to Theory”, presented an incredibly unique and powerful point of view. For me, this piece was particularly impactful due to it’s perspective, her relation of theories to stories, and the deconstruction of language used in traditionally european theories. For generations, students of many different disciplines encounter theories that they must come to know intimately. Despite these disciplines being vastly different in their…

However, if the educators role is…
