Online discussion:Cultural study and postcolonialism

Sharmeen obaid Chinoy 's Got Oscar award for her documentary " A Girl in the River " has been much celebrated at home. It is about honor killing in Pakistan.

      Sharmeen’s films are about truly heroic Pakistani women — women who have suffered appalling cruelty and oppression but who have refused to be silenced. In telling their stories to the world, they have fought back and exposed injustice. It is shows the true situation of women that how they suffering so by showing this reality it brings awareness in society. It is not the situation of women in Pakistan but overall in  the world. We don't know many places where women are suffering. people not easily accept this reality. 

We may feel that this kind of writer wants to be famous in people by publishing this kind of work. Because to get more publicity they already knows which kind of work gives more publicity .
         In the country like India people has so many problems so they might feels that he or she is talking about us. They are arguing for us by publishing their work. 

    But yet it must require to talk against the power or  to talk about the real condition of the country . And we have great example of it is Ravish Kumar ,Who always draws the picture of real issues and also of real condition of the country .

Thank you....... 

Thinking activity on Gerald Gennet's Structralism.

Gerard Genette is a French literary theorist associated in particular with the Structuralist's movement and such figures as Roland Barthes and Claude Levi Strauss, from whom he adapted the concept of bricolage. Here, I apply his five concept which he used in Narrative Discourse: An essay in method:

1) Order

2) Frequency

3) Duration

4) Voice

5) Mood

• in literary theory, structuralism is an approach to analyzing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure. for example, a literary critic applying a structuralist literary theory might say that the authors of west side story did not write anything "really" new, because their work has the same structure as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. 

it is not just advertisement of "Ariel" but in this advertisement we find very brif idea about equality of man and women.so i think structure of this advertisement is good.

              In this advertisement we can see feminism structure of our society. man and woman both are going out side to work for money but very few theme are share burden of housework. 'gender inequalities rooted' in not only our social structure but also in our mentality. i'm just saying that if man go out side for making money then wife do cooking, cleaning,laundry everything, both are making money than why they are not share all there responsibility?

Thank you....... 

Thinking Activity on Derrida and Deconstruction.

Derrida and Deconstruction............. 

Jacques Derrida was an Algerian born French philosopher best known for developing form of semiotic analysis known as deconstruction. He is one of the major figures associated with post structuralism and postmodern philosophy.

The term deconstruction has become very popular in literary criticism and theory, its precise meaning is extremely problematic. It has had an enormous influence in psychology, literary theory, culture studies linguistics feminism, sociology and anthropology.  It has influenced a wide range of theoratical approaches to literary studies like feminism and gender studies, cultural materialism, new historicism post colonial studies, Marxism, Pychologysis and so on. It involves the close reading of text has irreconcilably contradictory meanings, rather than being a unified, logical whole. 

When we try to find out different between Structuralim theory and deconstruction theory then we easily define Deconstruction concept. Structuralism theory through to understand structure of the literature and define root of meaning. While deconstruction simple means is to see one thing in different ways. Most of when we read something at that time we can understand simple meaning but when we criticize any work or to re read something at that time we can deconstruction other meaning it means deconstruction.

Thank you.......... 

Thinking Activity on Andy Goldworthy's Rivers and Tides.

 We have watched this documentary on 14th March. Which was about nature and also interesting movie. Andy Goldsworthy was working with time. 

As we all know nothing remains permanent. As it is Andy Goldsworthy working with time and nature. Goldsworthy is famous throughout the world for his work in ice, stone, leaves, wood, and he felt that he has deep connection with the earth. May be he is working seasonal changes. He made a sculpture with the help of stones. One beautiful thing is he uses the natural background music. 

Some images of his art in movie. 

He creates mountain shape with stone in the river and show what is reaction of nature carry or change. This experiment through we can say he respects process of life and death. He created lot of things sometimes he became success and sometimes he became failure to making arts but he never deficted.

Goldsworthy says that "Art for me is a form of nourishment".  He notices sculpture, "The very thing that brought it to life, will bring about its death." The documentary described about Scottish landscapes. He talks about the impact of sheep on the Scottish landscape, and made a chain of green leaves and placed them in the water. Beautiful stonewall, crosses a field, and goes under a river, and emerges to wind through the trees on the other side.

He doesn't think about success and failure. He painted pictures on wall after the long time he shows what is change in painting. Then he criticizes his photography at that time his photography scriptures in collage day.

Thank you...........
