...within the critical theoretical framework of Chris Weedon’s essay, ‘Feminism and the Principles of Post Structuralism’. At the heart of feminist post structuralism lies the theory of post structuralism itself. The theory offers a way to study the conditions of how knowledge is produced. To understand an object it is necessary to study both the object and the systems within which it is produced and lives. Post-feminist structuralism seeks to examine the production of knowledge as it impacts on gender. The pervasiveness of male discourse is a particular target for post-structuralist feminism. What I hope to achieve is an analysis of the theory in relation to the character of Catherine Barkley and her romantic relationship with the novel’s narrator and protagonist Frederick Henry. For poststructuralist theory the common factor in the analysis of social organization, social meanings, power and individual consciousness is language. Language is the place where actual and possible forms of social organization and their likely social and political consequences are defined and contested. Weedon in Storey, ed. (555) However, within Hemingway’s novels language is used to different effect, or rather the omission of it is. Hemingway’s aversion to theory is discussed in Owens-Murphy’s essay on pragmatism. She quotes Scott Donaldson as saying both Hemingway and his characters show, “a disinclination to philosophize, much”(87). Hemingway’s own theory...

...WUTHERING HEIGHTS: IDEAS AND THEMES Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym “Ellis Bell”. Charlotte presented her sister Emily as an unconscious artist who “did not know what she had done”. Unlike what Charlotte thought of her sister, some literary critics agree on the fact that it is a very carefully constructed novel. The main problem of critical response was that critics could not work out its moral standpoint. Both lovers deliberately marry other partners. As Catherine Earnshaw dies halfway through the novel, which pair of lovers is meant to carry our approval, Catherine and Heathcliff or young Catherine and Hareton? Moreover their voices reach us through a medley of others: Mr Lockwood, Nelly, Isabella, who are often ignored by readers. A parable of a natural equilibrium disturbed by an external force and eventually somehow restored. The theory that a principle of calm and storm informs the novel provided a comprehensive interpretation. The two aspects (calm and storm) are not necessarily conflicting and will ultimately lead to a state of equilibrium. The world described by the novel is pre-moral, and the drives of the main characters seem to reach beyond their death and strive for transcendence. (Early Victorian Novelists, Lord David Cecil, 1934) A restless force, represented by C and H, which continually pushes against a framework of religion, propriety, social expectations. The novel represents a clash of social classes and economic...

...SMS Text Analysis: Language, Gender and Current Practices Muhammad Shaban Rafi1 Abstract This article tests the assumption that SMS language is like a pidgin in every speech community. The article also examines the assumption that a great motor of SMS lives among females whose lexical and morpho-syntactic choices are different from males. It further speculates influence of SMS language on language of media. One hundred messages were taken randomly from 20 cell phones and perceptions of 25 males and 25 females were recorded on an ordinal scale for analysis. The text was analyzed to look into lexicology, morphology and syntactic levels of texters, and influence of SMS on language of commercials. The results show that a novice intelligible language has evolved through SMS, which is influencing language of media. A significant difference is found between male and female texters’ linguistic properties. Introduction Short Message Service (SMS) language tends to create a novice language, which has become an integral part of the multilingual world. It pursues simple sentences structure for communication. It is assumed that SMS syntactic and lexical choices by the texters are not so different from a child language. A child expresses his feelings through simple present progressive tense e.g. mom eating for ‘Mom is eating’ and Eating for ‘I am eating’. The empirical data show that SMS language over-looks orthographic and syntactic rules of a language with a great emphasis...

...Mid Term Case Study: Case 16 – Midwestern Contemporary Art Proc 5840 P T Barnum September 25, 2013 Introduction This case begins with a couple named Peter and Catherine Smith. The Smith’s began collecting art in the late 1960’s after Catherine had an unexpected recovery from cerebral vascular spasms because it was one of Catherine’s life- long dreams. By June of 1981, the Smith’s art collection had grown so much that they were contacted by the MCA and Peter was invited to be a member of the board of trustees. In order to be a member of the board, you are asked to donate $10,000.00 to the MCA. Peter was elected to be the chairman of the board by 1989. The MCA is a foundation that specializes in contemporary art and strives to be a place where the public can directly experience the work and ideas of living artists as well as understand the historical, social and cultural context of the art of our time. They blend exhibitions, performances, collections, and educational programs for visitors. They strive to attract a broad and diverse audience in order to create a sense of community through art. Peter joined the board with the intent to attract more artists and a broader audience. He planned to reach this goal by donating more money in order to build a bigger establishment for the MCA. Keith Schmidt was then hired as the MCA’s executive director at the beginning of 1989, at the same time Peter was elected as chairman of the board. Schmidt had experience as a director...

...CPA Mock Evaluation CFE, Day 1-individual certification related to Capstone 1 Case Page 1 Cap 1 Background Information Mission is the same: Arndt Industries Ltd. (AI) is committed to manufacturing innovative, quality products Under the current company structure, each company acts as its own investment centre (lots of independence to operate). All divisions (except Engineered Products) and corporate continue to be managed by family members. Some shareholders wanted to sell shares within the family. As well there was an openness to the idea of private equity or IPO. (Catherine’s comment in the Board Meeting) A formal succession plan was deemed important. The corporate office must approve all external financing (i.e. borrowing outside the operating lines of credit). Additionally, under current policy, capital investments over $1.5 million must be purchased with long-term debt rather than by using the operating line of credit and must be approved by the corporate office. The bank is willing to provide up to $50 million at an annual rate of 7.5%, to be repaid monthly over a period of 15–25 years, as long as the following conditions are met: 1. A minimum return on assets of 10% (calculated using after-tax income and total assets); 2. A maximum ratio of debt to tangible net worth of 2:1; and 3. A minimum current ratio of 1.5:1. Any long-term loans for expansion must be renegotiated every five years. Due to a long standing relationship with the bank and a history...

...Narrative A narrative is a sequence of events that a narrator tells in story form. A narrator is a storyteller of any kind, whether the authorial voice in a novel or a friend telling you about last night’s party. Point of View The point of view is the perspective that a narrative takes toward the events it describes. First-person narration: A narrative in which the narrator tells the story from his/her own point of view and refers to him/herself as “I.” The narrator may be an active participant in the story or just an observer. When the point of view represented is specifically the author’s, and not a fictional narrator’s, the story is autobiographical and may be nonfictional (see Common Literary Forms and Genres below). Third-person narration: The narrator remains outside the story and describes the characters in the story using proper names and the third-person pronouns “he,” “she,” “it,” and “they.” • Omniscient narration: The narrator knows all of the actions, feelings, and motivations of all of the characters. For example, the narrator of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina seems to know everything about all the characters and events in the story. • Limited omniscient narration: The narrator knows the actions, feelings, and motivations of only one or a handful of characters. For example, the narrator of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has full knowledge of only Alice. • Free indirect discourse: The narrator conveys a character’s inner thoughts...

... declared, in effect, that every woman in his group didn’t have the self-confidence needed to be promoted. The division head began to doubt his ears. How could it be that all the talented women in the division suffered from a lack of self-confidence? In all likelihood, they didn’t. Consider the many women who have left large corporations to start their own businesses, obviously exhibiting enough confidence to succeed on their own. Judgments about confidence can be inferred only from the way people present themselves, and much of that presentation is in the form of talk. The CEO of a major corporation told me that he often has to make decisions in five minutes about matters on which others may have worked five months. He said he uses this rule: If the person making the proposal seems confident, the CEO approves it. If not, he says no. This might seem like a reasonable approach. But my field of research, socio-linguistics, suggests otherwise. The CEO obviously thinks he knows what a confident person sounds like. But his judgment, which may be dead right for some people, may be dead wrong for others. Communication isn’t as simple as saying what you mean. How you say what you mean is crucial, and differs from one person to the next, because using language is learned social behavior: How we talk and listen are deeply influenced by cultural experience. Although we might think that our ways of...

Project characteristics Projects make up almost half of the work that most organizations do. Organizations use projects to help meet their strategic goals.
