Bennett (1983, p.263) elaborates, labelling Borges a “perpetuator of literary forms pioneered by Poe.” Further, Bennett (1983, p.263) discerns, “Poe is the author to whom Borges returns most frequently in praise, criticism, and explicit imitation.” Ostensibly, phrases such as ‘perpetuator’ and ‘explicit imitation’ reveal Borges was not merely influenced by Poe, but actively imitated his thematic values.

In light of Donald Trump’s shocking rise to political eminence as the newly elected president of the United States, numerous rhetorical artifacts relating to an uncertain and fraught future for American government and politics have inundated mainstream media and news outlets, hailing a resurgence of national interest in federal government through largely dogmatic and peremptory ideological and propagandistic rhetorical texts.

that stuck out within this chapter can be found on page 67, “The constitutional theorists (Mason, St. George Tucker, Taylor, Calhoun, Upshur, Henry St. George Tucker, Bledsoe, and Stephens) could prevail in most of the battles in the textual and historical criticism of the Constitution, much as the proslavery theologians could prevail in the debate over the Biblical sanction for slavery. But they could not refute the fundamental political premise laid down by the Marshall Court and elaborated in…

constructed biases created by the maker in the visual aspects of the image that serve as part of the argument. Kress and van Leeuwen propose three levels of analysis for the evaluation of visual bias: 1) the ideational, 2) the interpersonal, 3) and the textual (Goodnow, p. 408). The ideational is concerned…

authority, it can also be as easily exploited by a unified discourse exactly because it is fragmentary, which made it more fragile to rewriting and reinterpretation. This paper—again—contrasts Said’s celebration of essay as a genre suitable for criticism, and Deleuze and Guattari’s ahistorical appropriation of Kafka’s letter to construct their own theory of “minor literature.” The paper ended with an example of the the Shanghai Jewish Museum, which by appropriating and reinterpreting testimonies…

Proposed Introduction: In the novel Wide Sargasso Sea (WSS) author Jean Rhys offer the readers a piece of literature that demarcates - within the development of its characters, their narrational perspectives, and the tactful discursive constructions of the former and the latter- an evaluative analysis of western colonial ontology, its epistemological premises, and the experiences of subjectivities that are defined, and reproduced, by these ontological and epistemological formulations.

Parkinson looks at Edmund Wilson’s essay "The Ambiguity of Henry James". Parkinson writes that the essay “begins a new chapter in the history of the criticism of The Turn of the Screw” (Parkinson Chapter 3). Parkinson directly quotes Wilson when he writes "the young governess who tells the story is a neurotic case of sex repression, and the ghosts are not real ghosts at all but merely the governess 's…

Main criticism of the media effects model Introduction The media effect theory is known as how the media affect the society as well as how society affect the same media. A case in which a teenager murders students or their own friends. This is influenced by what the teenagers are watching nowadays in the media. Like in the United Kingdom, a game named manhunt was banned because the children would style the theme of murder in the game and finally do so in real life. Another example is that of…

examination. This is certainly an area that deserves and requires attention given, as Peter Middleton remarks, how “Conflicts and affinities between science and poetry have had a profound effect on the conceptional architecture of modern literary criticism.” This effect and it’s on going reverberations within the field of poetry, whilst difficult to research given its propensity for “feedback loops”, and multifaceted forms of interaction, is crucial to understanding the relationship between the…
