There’s actually a debate going on in China regarding the issue that British museum allow some visitors touching/holding ancient Chinese Ming dynasty jade artworks. The discussion is between the one believing this would be a precious opportunity to feel actual ancient pieces, and one believing ancient objects should be not be touched at all.
As museums of art evolved into conduits for civic education
Civic education on arts is not always a great thing, which reminds me of what had happened to Van Gogh’s work recently.

Lanakila, which means “to be victorious
from my perspective, Baker's new name and its meaning show his ambition on supporting indigenous cultures.
Black women have written little about black female spectatorship, about our moviegoing practices.
this reminds me of another work of Asian feminism from another class I'm taking. Women literary is comparatively less on the market and this genre came by Asian or African ethnicities are even lesser.
We laughed at television shows like Our G angandAm os ’n ’Andy, at these white representations of blackness, but we alsolooked at them critically.
I believe racial difference can sometimes be blurred by majority social norms and brings actual victims' ambiguous thoughts on their environment and their right.
But he does disputePlato’s idea that art is useless
I believe they had different opinion on art based on different thinking: one must be rational and another would be emotional.
the value of art

The mystery of the world isthe visible
since we have different opinion on one visible object, thus the actual interpretation would be unknown somehow.
power of mind over mind’
influencing residents' mind as the potential and efficient way to control the region is applied by most places now.
imposeupon them the methods he thinks best;
The absolute method indicates the rational thinking of rule makers, who only pursued the most efficient way. This reminds me of the topic of rule-making should involved humanity or not.
if they aremadmen there is no risk of their committing violence upon oneanother;

Each family will have made its own provisions;but, for bread and wine, small wooden canals are set up be-tween the street and the interior of the houses, thus allowingeach person to receive his ration without communicating withthe supplier and other residents; meat, fish and herbs will behoisted up into the houses with pulleys and baskets. If it is ab-solutely necessary to leave the house, it will be done in turn,avoiding any meeting.
This scene really resonates to what most families has been through during covid. Though the story happened in the centuries ago, method of dealing contagious disease can be somehow similar to what has done now. Strong sense of surviving was eager in the scene.
noindividual can ever be
This reminds me of many artists trying to express their continuous feeling by adding 24/7 to resonate with the audience, but this length would be impossible. We people tend to say "perfect" or "complete" yet unachievable words often times.
It also resonates indirectly but powerfully as an injunction, aswhat some theorists call an "order-word.
The week has been added on a new name and is divided to ease people's life. It can be meaningful to bring convenience, yet meaningless as it still passes as it always would do that seemingly assigning either parts of the whole would be used up eventually.
