ENG252Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 33: Parataxis, Canadian Literature, Japanese American Redress And Court Cases
Document Summary
I will post the slides as a trial (they are my intellectual property) on. They are aids but aren"t a substitute for attending lectures. We"ll do a close reading of the poetry over the next couple of weeks. We"ll do some group work and practice our close reading for poetry. S: there"s a lot of alliteration and double meanings. It"s incredibly smooth but it also looks like prose. T: it blurs the boundary between prose and poetry. T: it emphasizes concrete elements on the page (structure of lines and punctuation or lack thereof) and performativity as well as rhythm. You"re noticing the process based nature of the poetry we"ll encounter in the next few weeks. Post-modernism as an artistic movement is characterized by its incredulity towards meta narratives. It questions prescribed official constructions of history and the production of meaning as we"re engaging.
