Reflexivity: "How did the author come to write this text…Is there adequate self-awareness and self-exposure for the reader to make judgments about the point-of-view?"
This work is probably strongest on the issue of reflexivity because the author makes clear that she was embedded in the controversy, though she also offers and outsiders perspective, the experiences of the work were lived experiences. Her introduction material makes clear that she had both a journalistic and personal interest in the development of the human rights condition within the culture of Columbia. This could have created a challenge to objectivity but her scholarly skill obviously well contains the desire to be overly personal or sentimental, a problem that can be seen in some ethnographic works.
Impact: "Does this affect me? Emotionally? Intellectually?" Does it move me?
The work did impact me, emotionally and intellectually as it adequately demonstrated atrocities, though like I said previously it would be nice to have more primary source works embedded in the work, to pull away from the academics of the piece and demonstrate its more emotional details. Overall it demonstrated an excellent introduction to how human rights activism evolved and why it is so important to come to consensus on definitions and standards with regard to this highly charged issue. It also demonstrated the fact that transparency of intent and action was one of the essential problems in Colombia and that this seriously effected the development of the movements and the culture. Some of these issues are serious examples of the type of foreshadowing that is evident in fiction.
Expresses a Reality: "Does it seem 'true' -- a credible account of a cultural, social, individual, or communal sense of the 'real'?
There is no question that this work expresses a reality, though it may be slanted toward the "reality" not of the culture but of the culture of the human rights movement. The credibility of the work is also unquestionable as...
Modernism: Depth Analysis European Art Works 1860-1935 Modernism, in its widest meaning, is considered to be modern belief, eccentric, or practice. To add a little more, the word gives a description of the modernist movement occurring in the arts, its set of cultural propensities and related cultural actions, initially rising from wide-scale and extensive differences to Western civilization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Baker 2005). In specific the
..render up myself...Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night...And for the day confined to fast in fires, / Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature/Are burnt and purged away." (I.5). At first, Hamlet believes the ghost is from Purgatory because of the vividness of these images. Then Hamlet constructs a test for the ghost as he worries: "the devil hath power/to assume a pleasing shape;
William Carey -- Father of Modern Missions William Carey Britain Moravians India Modern Missions William Carey, a Baptist preacher, is considered to be the Father of Modern Mission. Carey believed absolutely that the Word of God was to be taken to all nations, devoted his own life to this endeavor, and challenged other believers to engage in this sacred work. In terms of sheer numbers of converts, Carey's accomplishments would be considered small, particularly when measured
Dance Peters The Pop Music Choreography of Michael Peters Few forms of dancing are more present in our popular culture than that associated with popular music. While the forms of tap, ballet and ballroom all occupy an obvious place in our academic understanding of dance, these are for the large part only seen in specialized contexts such as theatres and formal events. This contrasts the style of dance and choreography that accompanies
Nevertheless, Cartier-Bresson chose to stay true to his format and take the picture in black and white which helps in the translation of what is seen and not seen, in this writer's opinion. The rag pickers are standing in a sea of fabric, most likely discarded by manufacturer's shipping from an impoverished to an industrialized country. The very people who make the fabrics from the natural resources of their
