In the case of Antonio v. Shylock, Shylock shall be spared of all punishment, for he is innocent of putting one’s life in danger and retracting from taking a pound of his acquaintance’s flesh. Shylock shall remain practicing Judaism and keep all of his goods for there is lots of concrete evidence backing up his case. As Lawyer 2A presented, Portia, disguised as Doctor Bellario, is actually from Belmont rather than Venice, which makes her an alien to the case at hand. Lawyer 1A shows us that in

hundreds of eighteen-wheelers, increasing drivers awareness and causing disarray for drivers who are trying to see the road in front of them.      Perry’s answer is to shift the traffic away from metropolitan areas. If truck drivers can bypass San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas, the time to their destination would probably save them an entire day in travel. Freight rail services could veer away from San Antonio’s railroad yard, an institution bustling with activity in the wee hours of the morning. Also

Stuart Hall has posited that the concepts of individual dream states can be brought on a macroscopic scale to media text. In particular, "nightmares" of individuals, can be related to the semiological analysis of a given media text in relation to dominant ideology and culture in general. His main points in this are twofold, first is to point out that the more horrible and "nightmarish" a media scenario (i.e. story) is, the more difficult it is to de-construct the ideological markers that serve

Rethinking Gramsci's Political Philosophy ABSTRACT: This paper is a clarification and partial justification of a novel approach to the interpretation of Gramsci. My approach aims to avoid reductionism, intellectualism, and one-sidedness, as well as the traditional practice of conflating his political thought with his active political life. I focus on the political theory of the Prison Notebooks and compare it with that of Gaetano Mosca. I regard Mosca as a classic exponent of democratic elitism

1900s, a variety of countries were electing fascist rulers (Douglas). Italy and the Soviet Union yielded to the rule of Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin, respectively, despite Karl Marx’s promise of revolution (Douglas). Italian anthropologist, Antonio Gramsci, develops his own theories in an attempt to rationalize why communism is not happening and why the revolution never occurred. It is critical to acknowledge that Gramsci’s work was written under punitive circumstance, since he was imprisoned

Taylor Covington PID: 720409631 Comm 140 Paper #2 Bryanne Young Beyoncé as a Mediated Symbol Beyoncé. She’s one of the world’s most beloved pop stars, idolized and respected by millions of women and men around the world. What is it that makes Beyoncé Knowles “Queen B” among the young people of today’s society? To state it simply, it is her role as a mediated symbol. She is an idol of women empowerment and beauty. Beyoncé, as a powerful and renowned black woman, alters the pre-existing hegemonic ideology

What is hegemonic masculinity? What are the merits and shortcomings of this concept? In Connell’s original conception, hegemonic masculinity can be understood as ‘the pattern of practice that allowed men’s dominance over women’ (1987). Hegemonic masculinity is the exclusive masculinity of which only a few exhibit. The majority of men in fact experience complicit masculinity, allowing them to dominate in the patriarchal system in which it created. Connell (1987) believed it was this that created

the ritual ceremony, “chanting” in the Buddhism culture, displaying how the religion is used for concealing relations of power within this definite culture. Through this examination, I will use the theories of Karl Marx (religion as ideology) and Antonio Gramsci (hegemony being concept of power), to support the display of how the power distributes religion. By relating to the definition of power, I argue that, for the members of this community, ‘power’ is about ease and security- no inequality.

John Ambrosio (2013), reflecting on the history of the library profession, invokes Antonio Gramsci, who said that a critical understanding of the self also requires the development of an ethical stance, a set of values, principles, and virtues to guide one’s moral conduct (Ambrosio, 2013, p. 328). Lacking such ethics or praxis, librarians are vulnerable to the dominant political ideology. “The way to overcome paralysis is the consciousness of what one really is and knowing oneself.
