# I too am writing an essay on feminist criticism (whilst procrasturbating heavily)
but htis one is on THe Bloody Chamber by Angela carter/ Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I friggin hate Jane Austen.

It always just boils down to a simple game of "Spot The Patriarchy"

# Damn straight...
I've nothing against feminist criticism per se, only with the fact that it's ALL we're EVER fecking taught about at uni! It's nice to have some other elements of the lefty-liberal-academic-agenda (which I'm all for as it happens) shoved down our throats from time to time...

Not learned about gays in ages, f'rinstance. Rant over.

(or ethnoes for that matter)

# this is my first real contact with the subject,
I was given a list of passages from the bible and a list of critical techniques and asked to apply one to the other. Its proving fairly interesting but I'm thinking I'd have been better off doing psychoanalytical instead
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Thu 14 May 2009, 1:10, archived)
# Go for it
Did a module on "Cinema & Psychoanalysis" last term and that kicked a whole bag of ass. I love psychoanalytic theory as it allows total free reign for full on, no holds barred bullshitting (something I consider myself to be somewhat adept at).

Shoehorn a bit of Lacan's Mirror Stage in there if you can- always a good laugh! Something about how when they ate the apple it created both jubilation but at the same time alienation and violence towards the self...God I love that shit...

# I had a similar moment earlier
when I found a quote saying "as Adam from adamah, so isha from ish" a lovely phrase looking at hebrew etymology "as man from earth, so woman from man" a charming turn of phrase initially recognises the shared essence of all three (i.e. one came from the other) that after the biting of the apple serves to distance them (one is seperate from the other)

# That looks a lot like linguistics to me...
what subject do you do?

And yeah there's a shit-load of feminist stuff to be teased out of that whole earth, then man, then (last and least) woman.

# philosophy and biblical studies
i'm thinking of adding a section that talks about how Creation (a feminine task) is hijacked by men and associated with their masculine god too

# Don't forget your Jungian archetypes...
the mothership in 'Close Encounters' is a doozie...

# Tee hee
I applied Freud's theory of wish fulfilment as found in "Creative Writers and Daydreaming" (a cracking piece of work, Freud was a far better literary critic than he was a physician) to "The Devil Wears Prada". That was the most fun I think I've ever had with academia, although watching that film 3 times was a pretty trying experience.
Partly because Freud himself says that theories of psychoanalysis apply most comfortably to "less pretentious fiction" (better known to you and I as mindless crap)

Don't know much/anything about Jung sadly...

# Trash culture meets academia is always a good one.
Jung was pretty out there. I like his idea of 'racial memory' -
an inherited set of ideas of the world deposited in the collective unconscious.
When you're drifting off to sleep and jerk awake suddenly?
That's a response inherited from your monkey forebears,
who had to keep gripping on to the branch or fall.

If you're a Jungian it is, anyway.

# makes sense
from an evolutionary perspective. I buy it.
In the same way that we all have a swallow reflex/anything reflex.
Don't see how that's racial memory though, so much as the chemical/genetic make-up of our brains that has been left after mother nature has performed her great act of topiary that cuts away all those daft apes incapable of staying awake whilst sitting on high branches...

# going to bed now anyways
big love and good night!

trash culture is good for SOMETHING it seems.
Shall have to apply some of these psychoanalytic theories to Hollyoaks (the very worst of the worst)

"Embryons desséchés" was one of my favourite suites to play
but the Gnossiennes are easier to remember
