So is he saying that the meaning of pedagogy has changed over time to classroom management, instruction, etc.?

Critical Digital Pedagogy is only different from Critical Pedagogy in that more people can interact because the way we look at space is changing.

My last year in high school was horrible. In my chemistry class we had to take these self evaluations almost every day to find out how we were learning. Instead of actually learning the subject we would just take tests and quizzes at the end of the week on the subject and spend the rest of the time learning how to learn more effectively. It was horrible.

Not knowing what?

Not knowing what?

We have students in class while still in Spain:)

Critical Digital Pedagogy is only different from Critical Pedagogy in that more people can interact because the way we look at space is changing.

What if a teacher is just teaching for the test or from a plan that they did not come up with? What if they have no opinion and just follow the curriculum without adding anything of their own?

Ever seen Dead Poets' Society?*

So is he saying that the meaning of pedagogy has changed over time to classroom management, instruction, etc.?

Is he saying that Critical Pedagogy is different from pedagogy because it demands independent thought, criticism of different impediments to learning, and a discursive environment in the classroom?

How does taking a noun in an essay and replacing it with a noun seven nouns later in the dictionary prove anything? If so, what?

There is an infinite number of ways to remake something and create new meanings.

Aside from reading things backward, how would a person use deformance when reading a text?

Aside from reading things backward, how would a person use deformance when reading a text?

What is wrong with circling back to the text? If you are reading something it would make sense that any thoughts you have about the text would come back to the text.

Samuels and McGann say to read poem backwards to show it's true, "core."

If Deformed Humanities are created from the sharing of things and not building things how does reading a poem backwards accomplish either of these things, if that makes any sense.

Sounds like Derrida.

What's wrong with thinking of technology as a tool rather than an end in itself?

Why isn't the word "digital," required?

What does it mean to be a digital humanist?

So using a word processor doesn't count as digital humanities? If you are doing research and creating something on the word processor then isn't that the digital humanities? I thought it started with an individual and then the product they created through their research or work on the computer?

Why doesn't "every combination of the humanities and technology," qualify as digital humanities?

It makes sense that we would find networked expressions more with undergraduate research, isn't that where things are going anyway?

What's the difference between computing humanities and digital humanities?

Why is internet research too large for digital humanities? Isn't research part of it?

"In the last five years," when was this article written? It says 2015 at the bottom of the page.

"Self-definition, inwardness, reference to the other."

What is a "worlding of literature?"

"cultures recognize themselves through their projections of "otherness." Mirror-stage.

Wait, is it saying that it is bad for subordinated cultures to retrieve their histories because it prevents the newness and "beyond," because I would have to disagree.

Stuff starts to happen after cultural displacement and social discrimination. As soon as someone desires to be noticed they are asking to be noticed. Sounds like the mirror-stage again. As soon as someone becomes aware of something or even self aware it opens up a lot of doors.

Newness is good.

So many things going on, "displacement and disjunction," and "present and beyond our time," and "beginning and ending at boundaries of ethnocentric ideas." AAAAHHHHH!

The boundary is where something begins.

Wait how is the present and living beyond the border of our time connected to the cultural differences? Comparing now to what it could be?

Keeps saying progress but progress in what?

So, we need to be the stairwell? We need to be in that place between upper and lower in order to interact between two fixed identifications so that there is no hierarchy.

What exactly is binary logic?

Social differences are the product of a community or project that makes a person see themselves and the world around themselves differently.

What exactly is a received tradition?

If we look at the language produced from social crises we can see how communities react to differences. One important word that comes up is "disrespect."

These differences in cultures define the idea of society itself.

We should focus on moments that articulate cultural differences.

"We find ourselves in the moment of transit," Sounds like the Mirror-stage when we realize we are selves and people are others.

So Greenblatt wrote his book to incorporate nonacademics as well.

We think of theater as high art nowadays but back then it was pretty shady.

Were Shakespeare and Marlowe in love? I'm queering their relationship.

Who is Carl Rove?

Shakespeare's work was censored. Bishop's Office and Master of the Rebels. How often was Shakespeare arrested?

"Hamlet," is in everything.

So in the original "Hamlet," Hamlet is a little kid who pretends to be mentally disabled in order to live long enough to take revenge.

How could Shakespeare make up new words? Or more like why would he bother making up new words?

So Hamlet was the beginning of his tragedies? It was the turning point because of his son's death?He gets darker?

Did Shakespeare hate his wife since he didn't put her in the will?

Since when is eighteen a minor. Edgar Allan Poe married a twelve year old girl. Plus, back then they had to get married early because they died earlier. His tone was weird when he said "He was a minor, she wasn't." He makes it sound like the wife took advantage of him. Wonder what he would have sounded like if it was the other way around.

Shakespeare was successful because he was able to entertain the nobles and the average people.

Shakespeare has lasted this long because it is pleasurable.

Compares reading plays to reading music.

Wait, the pope tried to have Queen Elizabeth killed?!

I'm pretty sure our time period is not as difficult when it comes to choosing our religions because I don't think anyone around here would be beheaded if they were either Catholic or Protestant.

Greenblatt keeps saying that Shakespeare was the best at eloquence and use of language, but how?

Negative capability: Picking up personalities of individuals around.

Wouldn't the plays Shakespeare worked on with other people be the better ones? I find it hard to believe the best plays were only worked on by him.

There are people who believe Shakespeare didn't exist?

Like Freud he says we become jealous of others this helps us become more aware of ourselves.

Symbolic reduction. Necessary to keep from having infinite number of symbols or meanings?

Dreaming is part of recognizing the inner I.

Like Freud he is looking at fantasies, and sexual drive.

The cortex is the intra-organic mirror.

The mirror stage establishes a relation between the organism and its reality, or between the Innenwelt and the Umwelt.

Mimicry is an obsession with space. I would have thought it was the obsession of another organism.

Gestalt: an image of the whole.

So the Ideal-I is the ego?

So once we get past the mirror stage we become aware of biological urges (libidinal dynamism)? Or is it during the mirror stage?

The mirror stage can begin at six months and can last until eighteen months.

The aha effect or experience.

If the mirror stage doesn't involve conscious then how does the baby know the reflection is his/her self?

If Cogito means "I think, therefore I am," then the mirror stage takes place before we begin conscious thought.

Boys see babies as crap and girls see them as a gift. But he said gifts were connected to crap too so they also see babies as crap right?

How is pooping an act of defiance?

Feces, baby, penis. Is that really all there is? I'm depressed.

I really don't think babies come from the bowel. Can't help but be a little skeptical from here.

Go from wanting a penis to wanting a baby to wanting a man. Sounds kind of sexist.

Having a penis would make it so we could pee standing.

So women either want babies or a penis. I really don't think I like Freud.

How is penis envy a neurotic symptom? If someone is bi or homosexual they are neurotic? Is he saying that homosexuals are mentally ill? I don't think I like Freud.

Never heard the term, "the little one."

How are the words baby and penis interchangeable? What if it's a girl? When is he not talking about sexual fantasies?

How are sadism and anal eroticism connected? Since these two are connected this is called "pregenital organization."

1.Starts with children noticing that their parents are not as perfect as they thought they were. This makes them angry at their parents, especially the parent of the same sex, and get angry if they feel slighted.

1. They replace their family in their mind and this is called "family romance." They have fantasies of what they want their lives to be like.
2. Then they accept their parents and have no doubts that they are in fact their parents. Then things take a turn into Hamlet's world and people have sexual fantasies about their parents. I don't know why the numbers for my bullets are out of order that's just how they keep appearing.

He's describing all this from the perspective of a boy. Why? Is it because he is a male and that is what he knows?

Why would the girls' rebelling be weaker than the boys', I was pretty horrible, just saying.

And what does this mean?

What does this mean?

What if the person's fantasies lean more toward the unreal than the real or vice versa? Does either one effect how "normal," the kid turns out?

The world is divided into "normal," people and "neurotic," people. How do you know which one you are?

So the emotions children feel that are connected to certain memories help us understand how myths work? Our memories are like myths?

The "closet," applies to the individual and the culture.

She doesn't seem to have much faith in canonicity in general.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not really sure what she is arguing.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not really sure what she is arguing.

So she's saying that the whole "Don't ask don't tell," idea applies to our time period?

Says lesbian and gay writing are minority canons.

Feminism challenged the "master-canon."

So there is one master canon and a bunch of smaller canons that branch off from that? It sounds a lot like one overall truth being broken up into pieces.

Is she talking about queer theory as a new canon? If not then what new canon is she talking about?

Is she talking about queer theory as a new canon? If not then what new canon is she talking about?

What is the link between the intertext and the intersexed. How is this denaturalizing the present?

What is the canon of homophobic mastery?

What is homophobic mastery?

I've never read any of the books she is referencing so most of her comparisons are lost on me.

I've never read any of the books she is referencing so most of her comparisons are lost on me.

I've never read any of the books she is referencing so most of her comparisons are lost on me.

So Dorian Gray and Billy Budd are supposedly very different books with very different literary styles but they both can say the same thing about modern homosexual identity?**

How can you denaturalize the present? Is she creating a binary opposition between past/present, and showing how neither is correct?

So, how do you accomplish de-instituting repetition?

Repetition is power that works to enforce illusion.

Sexuality and gender is just expressive.

Drag implies that all gendering is a kind of impersonation or approximation. We are all in drag.

So you can be something and also play at that same something.

The self is the constituted effect of a discourse.

The self is the constituted effect of a discourse.

So homosexuality and heterosexuality are a binary opposition and one cannot exist without the other.

Catachrestic: to use a proper name improperly

Being out is like the Jeep. Is only out compared to some things, being out depends on what it is to be in.

To be lesbian is a signifier and it's signification is always out of one's control or is unobtainable signified.

To come out is to produce a new closet.

To come out is to produce a new closet.

To say, "I am," is to suggest totalization, but totalization doesn't exist, what's going on?

To say, "I am," is to suggest totalization, but totalization doesn't exist, what's going on?

If the "I," is the last thing to understand it's sexuality, then what are the first things?

So things can be permanently concealed by language? Coming out isn't coming out, at least to a point?

So instead of deconstruction she is using disclaiming as her tool?

What does theory have to do with politics? How is she connecting what she is arguing to politics?

What does theory have to do with politics? How is she connecting what she is arguing to politics?

I know praxis but I don't know phronesis.

What is the difference between theory and theoria?

Is she asking how queer theory works in all these areas?

Is she asking how queer theory works in all these areas?

Sounds like Derrida again, so if you install yourself into a category then you are actually also saying you are against that category as well?

Sounds like Derrida when she says if these categories that bothered her stopped causing trouble then they wouldn't be as interesting. I agree.

Sounds like Derrida when she says if these categories that bothered her stopped causing trouble then they wouldn't be as interesting. I agree.

She really doesn't like labels or signs, she calls identity categories sights of necessary trouble, and stumbling blocks.

I agree, people use identity categories either to oppress a group of people or for some other reason that seems pointless.

Love that she sets up the difference between "to be something," and "part."

The title makes me wonder how theorizing would be any different as a lesbian.

Today we don't have to worry about choosing between the two because to us choice seems trivial?

There are two interpretations of interpretation. Deciphering the truth and the other using freeplay and looking through history?

There are two interpretations of interpretation. Deciphering the truth and the other using freeplay and looking through history?

What does he mean by "brush aside all the facts at the moment he wishes to capture the specificity of a structure."?

Reference myth and there is no source of myth.

The bricoleur is someone who uses the means at hand.

Levi-Strauss opposition between nature and culture.

Keeps mentioning metaphysics, I don't know metaphysics.

Signifier, signified, paradox.

Foucault. We can never reach the signified.

Presence and consciousness.

What is totality?

The center is within the structure and outside it. I'm not even sure what the structure is.

Structure must have a center. Must organize to limit the freeplay of structure. Don't know what this means.

Focusing a lot on the words "event," and "structure."

classification according to general type.

Not huge authors. Between novelists and transdiscursive authors.

Can be the author of more than a book ie theory, tradition, discipline, and other authors build off of these.

The text always has signs referring to the author.

Author function articulates the universe of discourse (not exactly sure what that means), does not affect all discourses the same way, is not spontaneous, and does not refer to one real individual. So the author has many faces.

If we kill the author when reading texts then who is considered an author and what is considered work?

The name is important because it allows people to group together texts.

A lot of time spent on the author's name. The proper name and author's name are between description and designation.

Two notions to replace author: Idea of the work, a theory that Foucault destroys, and I don't know the second notion.

If the author is dead then we look at the marks of their absence.

Two ways of characterizing writing, critical and religious approaches.

I need to look up Faubert, Proust, and Kafka. Authors murdered by their writing.

I never thought about it before but writing has developed as a way to ward off death.

Second Theme: Writing's relationship with death. If the author is dead that takes away one of the main reasons people become authors. They want to know that they will be remembered somehow.

First Theme: "Today's writing has freed itself from the theme of expression." Is he being sarcastic?

"The writing subject constantly disappears." This is kind of like semiotics, the meaning of the sign is constantly changing but here it disappears completely. How?

Writing is now a practice, not something completed. Can't it be both?

Who is Beckett? "What does it matter who is speaking?"

First, just looking at relationship between author and text and how text points to the author

The study showed that the role of women is evolving but still expected.

Effort is rewarded with family togetherness and traditions are passed down through celebrities.

What did not change was that the magazine was still about perfection.

Men were starting to be shown more but women were still shown serving and among the decorations, like they were decorations.

Change from assumed knowledge to education. If everyone assumed women knew everything before then what was in the magazines?

First look at words, then what the image portrays in reality, the reader they had in mind. "Textural, ideational, interpersonal."

"A semiotic analysis of texts looks at how words and images combine to create meaning together." Need image to have word.

What has changed through the three decades is most women are working.

Social Semiotics: Studies how socially accepted meanings change as society evolves. But according to the intro Christmas has stayed commercial for a long time.

Three branches of semiotics: Saussurian, Piercian, and social. Social was used in the study.
