  • work creates human meaning/history (nature created through meaningful human labor)
  • capitalism created a class system forcing meaningless unfulfilled labor, ultimately estranging the laborer from the product, the physical activity of the labor, nature, the species itself, and fellow humans
  • living to work instead of working to live destroyed agency

    • 3 Stages: the Real, Imaginary, Symbolic
      • Real: birth-6 months, only knows purest needs
      • Imaginary: mirror stage starts b/w 6-18 months. When baby sees itself in mirror for the first time it assumes a false wholeness/autonomy (we never leave this stage)
      • Symbolic: "big Other" instead of seeing agency/value in mirror we identify selves through society when we acquire language and understanding of rules/regulations.
    • jouissance: promised pleasure of wholeness only causing pain
    • objet petit a: object of desire that can never actually be attained eventually creating anxiety/paranoia
    Freud
    • Oedipus complex: a desire for sexual involvement with the parent of the opposite sex and a sense of rivalry with the parent of the same sex; a crucial stage in the normal developmental process
    • concerned with unconscious mind, what was put there by the consciousness deemed unacceptable emerging in dreams/language/art
    • superego/ego

  • sexuality as a spectrum, not restricted to homosexual or heterosexual

The hierarchy mimics tower/staircase scenes of hierarchy that Robbins discusses, and the place on the hierarchy can be life/death. ]]> 2022-04-13 04:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/fmasas/apzrsfntwl7rpam/wish/2141888811 Gender Studies fmasas https://padlet.com/fmasas/apzrsfntwl7rpam/wish/2141921248 Haec Vir: or The Womanish Man is a 17th century pamphlet on a conversation between a women dressed like a man and a man dressed like a woman. They argue their reasons for dressing like the other and the "man-woman" defends women's rights but eventually succumbs the times patriarchal ideas. I kept thinking about Walton discussing the governess's inability to assume a male position due to the boundaries of the era. ]]> 2022-04-13 04:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fmasas/apzrsfntwl7rpam/wish/2141921248 Bridging Marxism and Gender Studies fmasas https://padlet.com/fmasas/apzrsfntwl7rpam/wish/2143048172 Write a few sentences summarizing the readings as a whole and how they could be combined to read any novel. *Feel free to add any images that might help you understand these essays or bridging them* ]]> 2022-04-13 22:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fmasas/apzrsfntwl7rpam/wish/2143048172
