PSYCH 9C Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Sexual Coercion, Magic Realism
HumCore - Final Lecture
Review of the year:
●Vo’s lectures focused on the top-down effect of empire on
people
●Rahimieh - Iranian state
●How do we resist?
○Resistance of those who thrive or survive within an
imperialistic system. We resist when we shape our
identity and when we are told who we are.
○Photographs and art used as a form of resistance
○Empire has a lot of power, but Marin Chambi still had
influence and resisted even as just a citizen.
○We take things for granted that are really simple,
because in this way people in power can maintain their
power, without having to justify themselves a lot.
○We need to complicate our worldview because otherwise
people in power could manipulate people very easily
●Gender Politics, how do women respond to patriarchal ideas?
○Sharing one’s own perspective can impact many others,
who could join in because they have become conscious
of the same thing happening to them.
●Balance between what would happen if there’s an immense
problem and creativity of the generation
●Logic of empire still seems to dominate the world in ways
it has not before, yet the sheer force of that has made
people much more aware.
○This generation people take on a political position of
love, in which you are accounting for another person
as they are meaningful to you, internal compassion.
This way, you can see new perspectives and that
creates a critical thinker, where you can think about
the logic of empire.
●Humanities are very important, as critical thinking is
crucial. Other things like math and science are good for
progress, but not so much critical thinking.
●Public v private expression of pessimism and optimism.
