2.3 Key Phrase Identification (1 key phrase may contain up to 5 words)

•  This means that:
• It aims to present a unified truth (there has to be a bottom line, a point, a take home message, an argument with a conclusion).
• becomes stationary static and unchangeable (It is a success if it becomes something that we can put down in history texts that will stay the same)
• It places itself at the center and tries to marginalize everything else in relation to it (Bible (the plants and the animals and the garden and eve, were all created for man) and evangelism (Christianity is a rare kind of religion that entails evangelism, it is necessary to go out and conquer other kinds of ideas))
• It casts everything else into the role of Other (example, what gets to count as Canon in a discipline, philosophy major)
• Other things have meaning only in relation to it (an idea and criticisms of that idea – we have never studied a section on Elshtain, but we have looked at her in relation to other sets of ideas)

• Masculine writing looks at the world in terms of binary opposites.
• Culture/ nature
• Active/ passive
• Speaking/ writing
• High/ low
  
  
• These dualistic, binary opposites map onto the BIG dualism: Man/woman
• Woman exists in man’s world, on his terms defined by the fact that she is different from him.
• If woman refuses to be defined as man’s Other then she is unthinkable, there is no place for her in language or culture, in some sense, doesn’t exist.
• Think of the omission of women’s perspectives in history for example

• You break the system by putting the unthinkable (women themselves) into words.

• Feminine writing is flexible and moving and dynamic.

• Letters -- Most of the women that have made it into the philosophy canon have done so in terms of the letters that they wrote to male philosophers ex. Princess Elizabeth, Queen Christina.
• Poems: an interpretation a point of view that has no purpose but the beauty off itself or of expressing the experiences of the artist. No claims to universal Truth, just to the truth of my Truth, just to the truth of my own experience of it.
• Marginalia: little scribbles in the margins of our books, where we talk to ourselves or the authors
• Journals
• Cookbooks – you need practical knowledge to make recipes work. They are suggestions not rules.
• Emails – new grammar and style, playful icons that express more than the words of the message. They are ephemeral, once we let them go they may get deleted or may stay on some computer where the text can degrade.
• Graffiti – Stop signs becoming “stop rape” signs
• Novels – ex Handmaids Tale was written as a found journal

• Feminine writing is a place where we can be subversive and perhaps get away with it.

Male sexuality

• “the big dick”
• the writing, like the sex, is a whose is bigger contest that is ultimately a boring game to play.
• “little pocket signifier” = penis/phallus/pen
• A signifier is a sign or a name or a word or a concept that we use to mark out the boundaries of things or thoughts in our culture.
• Male writing, like male definitions of sexuality, is rigidly controlled and defined so that it can be used to maintain the social order that already exists

Female sexuality

• The book has yet to be written about female sexuality.
• Women haven’t had the words to think it, nonetheless write it. 
• In masculine writing, women are written as the Other that is defined by the Man
• When women struggle to write themselves it is halting and creative, because we are building it as we go.  It is a creative desire.
• Consider it in terms of our sexuality
• This lets it be free and diverse and exciting.
• It is multiple and mobile and complex

• Women write in “white ink”
• It doesn’t draw boundaries, it opens possibilities
• She creates language as she goes

• The desire to write is an embodied desire,
• a desire to become a self in a body,
• a desire to give life to experiences and ideas -- ideas that change and grow because they are alive too.
• A desire to be thought and to think using what ever concepts and language that you need

• Jouissance.

Link Units: Once you've added three AdSense ad units, you should add up to three additional link units to provide complimentary, space-efficient advertisements for monetizing smaller areas on your site. Link units are just as simple to configure and insert into your site as regular ad units and take up very little real estate as well. Each link unit displays a list of topics related to your site’s content, similar to a regular ad unit. When a user clicks on one of these topics, they’re brought to a page of contextually relevant AdSense ads. As a publisher, you’re paid for any clicks on this resulting page.

Terms & Conditions

• Every participant is entitled to only one prize.
• This giveaway ends on 30 Sep 2010.
• WPWebHost reserves the right to amend or revise the terms and conditions of this promotion without prior notice.
• WPWebHost has the right to disqualify any participation which does not fulfil the requirements.

• Audio podcast (music, lectures, news broadcast)
• Enhanced podcast (synchronizing images (PowerPoint/Keynote slide presentations with audio files, only available with Macs),

A blog is a type of website that includes entries made in the same fashion as a diary or journal in reverse chronological order.

• Access. The content of blogs is typically available to ANYONE online. While this may be desirable when attempting to broadcast your message to a vast number of individuals, the information is in fact available to anyone, anywhere with an Internet connection.

• Syndication. RSS makes it possible for blog contributions to be read in a variety of different contexts, including directly within another Web page. All one needs is the URL of the RSS feed for a blog to syndicate the content of that blog to any other Web site.

• Credibility. Anyone with Internet access can setup a blog and post to it. Therefore, the credibility of content found on blogs is often questionable and is certainly nowhere near that of peer-reviewed publications.

• Longevity. The nature of computer mediated communication via the Internet is such that if at any point in the future the author wishes to delete postings, it may be extremely difficult to do so.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES

• Procrastination
• Too much pride
• No discipline
• No effort
• Many phone calls to publishers
• Certain literary elements

            “Genre is a French term derived from the Latin genus, generis, meaning "type,"

            "sort," or "kind." It designates the literary form or type into which works are

            classified according to what they have in common, either in their formal

            structures or in their treatment of subject matter, or both. The study of genres

            may be of value in three ways. On the simplest level, grouping works offers us

            an orderly way to talk about an otherwise bewildering number of literary texts.

            More importantly, if we recognize the genre of a text, we may also have a better

            idea of its intended overall structure and/or subject. Finally, a genre approach

            can deepen our sense of the value of any single text, by allowing us to view it

            comparatively, alongside many other texts of its type.”
