In Toni Morrisons’s Beloved the use of the phrase “This is not a story to pass on” in three different iterations is confusing, because if history and literature has emphasized anything it is “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Morrison is making sure the story is literally passed but the real meaning is deliberately ambiguous, having different meanings depending on how you read or analyze the novel. It could mean “this is an important story, do not pass on it”; or miss the experience of knowing it. It could also be saying that Continue reading...

Essay Synthesis

For this assignment, I take on to address two essays on the topic of language as perceived by the authors and how it affected their personal relationships and interests. Before I proceed to analyse the articles, I realized I need to have a more standard definition of language, at least for the purpose of uniformity. The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition has defined language as the system of words or signs that people use to express thoughts and feelings to each other (Merriam-Webster). With this definition, Rodriguez tries to harmonize how the medium has impacted his personal Continue reading...

He is mysterious and there is more to his character than the other characters know. He becomes mad when it suits his purpose, and takes on an “antic disposition" (ActI.SceneV.Line171). Similarly, he acts sane when he wants to, and is quite logical in his reasoning. Centuries ago Shakespeare wrote of the social issues that existed in his society.

Most of us seldom realize that we carry the dead with us, most of the time. In his most interesting work of all time, Derrida has tried to address some of these obsessions most of us have with these issues. This essay will however focus on some very pointed issues by explaining how Derrida’s idea of deconstruction is related to hauntology. In doing so, this essay will also endeavor to explain the connection between deconstruction and ghosts through themes such as death, absence, the structure of the sign and melancholia.

Relation between Deconstruction and Hauntology

Jacques Derrida was obsessed with the dead, especially in regards to how their symbolic value was affected by the living. Throughout his exploration of ‘hauntology,’ which was basically a fascination with the idea of the ghost as something being both existent and nonexistent. This is mostly related to history, where the past is what we use to define the present, which is conditional upon the existence of the past. Connecting this idea of hauntology to deconstruction, hauntology then becomes a tool of deconstruction – a specific lens you can use to break down the ideas of Western thinking. Culturally, the Continue reading...

Both "Victor Hugo's Ted Talk" and Bruno Latour make a case, in their own respective manners, about the significance of the agency of acting in art and architecture. Hugo, with his 19th-century assertion that "Architecture is information", could have landed himself a spot as a TED speaker. Latour, using the metaphor of acting, argues that actors in any given scenario exhibit more complex agencies than social theorists, with a limited metaphysical vocabulary, can possibly describe.
Latour propounds his Actor-Network Theory (ANT), stating that once an actor, or "actant", invents a technology such as the computer as a result of Continue reading...

Hamlet cannot find peace because he cannot reconcile the two characters that he has needed to adopt, and the cogitative dissonance that affords him leads to his demise. The play is fueled by a central theme of revenge. This is not just any revenge, and this is revenge to avenge the death of a father. This causal effects of this Continue reading...
