The six texts that I have chosen for this anthology link to colonisation and show how race and power can take shape in different forms. When thinking of race and power in relation to colonialism, the obvious form it takes is the white European power of the colonisers over the non-white natives of the lands that are being colonised. ‘Christopher Columbus’s Journal Entries’ are a non-fictional account of his voyage to India in 1492. In the introduction he claims that the purpose of the voyage is to
Discipline is enforcing acceptable patterns of behaviour and teaching obedience. In an excerpt called Discipline and Punish, contemporary theorist Michael Foucault explains these two concepts. This paper will summarize the author’s main points; provide a comparison with a theorist previously lectured on in class, as well as a personal interpretation of Foucault’s arguments. As probably studied in any law or history class, punishment in medieval times consisted of executions, and torture. Simply put,
Foucault's "Discipline and Punish" and "Power and Sex" Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age- Frank Lloyd Wright Darkness is meant to conceal, light is meant to expose, and there is power intrinsically imbued in both of these. Murderers hide in the dark, waiting for their victims, and the atrocities of different countries are hidden in history and official memos and propaganda. At the same time,
Power is a concept that is at the core of issues regarding social stratification (Scott & Marshall, 2009). Therefore there have been many debates regarding what this concept of power actually means. For Gramsci, power needs to be considered legitimate by those who are subject to it, and the legitimacy of power is gained through the manipulation of social norms (Scott & Marshall, 2009). This manipulation of social norms, links to Gramsci’s notion of ideological hegemony. Gramsci uses hegemony to show
Foucault’s Power (Intro) Power, what is power? Is it a thing, something that can be controlled by a person or group? Or is it an omnipresent force with no clear distinction of what it is and what it is not? My views before being introduced to Foucault was: power is an attainable thing, but elusive. For example, it is said one has power, if one has enough money. Another example I commonly hear is that, the government (the State, the law, police) holds too much power. My final example is, in my opinion
just received 150 thousand dollars. There are many different ways of investing money. The five most common ways to invest are: Term deposits, Managed Funds, shares, property and superannuation. According to can star: A term deposit is a cash investment held at a financial institution for an agreed rate of interest over a fixed amount of time. If the investor wishes to take the money out of the account they will be charged a large fee. Another form of Investment is managed funds. According to colonial
In this essay, I will describe four different art forms. I will include painting, dance, music, and theatre. The characteristics of each discipline will be listed along with brief explanations of how each element is unique to the discipline. Oils are one of the oldest forms of art expression. The oils are used most often because of the ability of the artist to rework the piece because of a slow drying process. An artist can use defined lines or softened shades to draw attention to a
Lauren Dursky and I decided that we would implement different forms of co-teaching for different subjects. It did not seem efficient to use the same method for each subject, so we decided to vary the instruction. For math, we decided to use station teaching. This allows students to discover a true understanding of each concept through different activities. This style of co-teaching also allows each teacher to incorporate his or her own unique perspective into the classroom. This style could be challenging
Unit title: Water in different forms Focus Area & Strand: Earth Science- Water /chemistry- solid, liquid and gas- understand constancy and change Rationale: All living things need water to survive. In the early childhood year, the properties of water is one of the main focus topic for Earth Science, because it is importance for children to understand the functions and the use of water, since water is one of the life-sustaining substance that children will experience in their everyday life at very
Three forms of gender inequality are those that occur in the workplace in relation to pay, roles that are played, and in education. The textbook states that “women who work full time average only 72 percent of what men are paid” (Henslin, 2014, p. 310). While this could be related to factors such as education level or the inability of women to negotiate as well as men; outside of the actual job, those in similar positions (regardless of negotiating skills) should make a similar wage. I can understand
