Personal Narrative: My Identity In Hamilton

Autoethnography means a way for me to provide meaning of my experiences at a in-depth level and “opportunities to cast a critical eye on aspects of own practice” (Lambrek, 2005, p. 230). As I looked into the research paper which used autoethnography as method people expressed that it offered them a way to expand their knowledge, to achieve reflective insights that would not have happened through other methods of research. During (2009) L. Alwin stated that autoethnography enabled him to “get at another

exploration and play (Bauman 1992; Rorty 1989). I do not attempt to deconstruct (Linstead 1995; Cooper 1989; Derrida 1978), but merely to explore the possiblilty of a radical new reading of Michael E Porter. Is Porter postmodern? The project originated in my need to ‘make sense’ of the strategic management literature, and specifically the place of Michael E Porter within it. The question, what is strategic management?, often leads to the work of Porter.

about them and gave them shoes in the winter etc and repeatedly outright said so. Ms Hamlin also probably had a preconceived notion about how this ex-slave would act because she repeatedly verified her name against one very similar one (Hamlin not Hamilton), showing she had already known a good deal about her. Conversely, Mrs Hamlin gives a different interview about slavery to a one Augustus Laudson. Here, she does not hold anything back and allows all of her opinions to flourish in the open. Instead

Dielle Ghislaine Ochotorena American Studies 1/2 Destructiveness of Obedience Alot of people like to believe that the world is generally all good or all evil; however, in reality they are the yin and yang of the human condition, and they are the labels we put on things that either appeal to us or don’t. The biblical story of Lucifer, who before he was banished from Heaven, was God’s favorite angel. Lucifer in the story, defied God which was the ultimate disobedience to authority in everyone’s

Introduction Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Services (STARS) at its location in East Meadow, New York, is addressing the problem of spinal cord injuries. These injuries are not as well known as one may think. Warren, Hamilton, and Roden-Foreman state that the “incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is estimated to occur in the United States at a rate of 40 cases per million” (pp. 303, 2013). This is a low incidence, especially in a country of approximately one-third of a billion of people

what you want to hear.” Interviewers’ questions, though unconsciously, “constantly communicated with their subjects the kind of evidence they want, the length of answers and even the manner in which answers ought to be offered” (Davidson 181). The personal relationships also created an interesting dynamic during an interview. Interviewees often knew interviewers personally and said, “I don’t want to tell you nothin’ but what to please you” (Davidson 183). The author again points out that the manner

capabilities, social standing to many more. Regardless of the reasons for boxing people into a specific category, the dominant signifiers seem to greatly influence the trajectory of one’s identifiable categories. When humans are forming their self-identity they tend to place themselves in a box that society has deemed as

Charlie Pride did it in 1971. Darius Rucker did it in 2009. That’s it. Two black men, spanning thirty-eight years, are the only black artists to win a Country Music Association Award. With country music rooted in bluegrass and rhythm and blues, why aren’t there more black country music stars? When considering the roots of country music, and how closely related country is to blues, bluegrass and honky tonk music, an examination of what happened to all the black musicians seems warranted, no? This

The Death of the ‘Authorlessness Theory’? Let’s face it. Can one fully buy into Roland Barthes’ claim that “The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author”? (172). Even if “it is language which speaks, not the author” (168), an author is responsible for the creation of a unique sequence of words in a novel, a poem or an article. The canvas on which freeplaying signifiers paint themselves seems so vast to Barthes that “the writer can only imitate a gesture

However, the driving force of Oedipus' fact-finding mission is an attempt to end the plague which racks his city. He does not realize the personal consequences his hunt will have for him, and his "loyalty to the truth" (23) is based on his ignorance of it. In fact, if we examine the events leading up to Oedipus' revelation, the incidental nature of his "quest for identity" becomes apparent. First, he summons Tiresias to name the killer, whom Oedipus does not at the time believe to be himself. Then a messenger
