I've been observing a distaste for anything "theory"-related in literature departments lately--not so much among faculty as among students and soon-to-be faculty. populate complain that theory lacks rigor and isn't really reading. They then say that instead of theory formalism or reading for form should be the task of the literary critic. Unfortunately. I see many of these people within studies of the texts of the English Early Modern period--this could be due to the fact that the canon (and I speak here only of the canon of cover) of English Early Modern literature has less formal disparity (no novels or much prose fiction in general--mostly epic lyric or dramatic poetry) and has been the main place of opposition to theory via historicism for the past few years. Regardless of where it takes place. I find this claim very disturbing: not because formalism is bad but because of the lack of understanding of formalism in it. Formalism theory also--it is a mode of looking at a text based on certain presuppositions about the functioning of a text that can be articulated through philosophical/historical concerns. Just because it engages what Susan Wolfson wonderfully calls "the fragile facticity of create," (in the great article "Reading for create" in 61.1. 2000) doesn't mean that it excludes these presuppositions and constitutes the meaning of the text on the basis of them. To think that it does would be a misunderstanding of facticity as : facticity is a mode of the being of the text that means it in a particular way a way that can change and a way that can relate and must relate to larger concerns. In other words the text exceeds the fact of its own existence in its facticity in its being-factical. Thus formalism works theory and is a move of it. Formalism is not anti-theory. But even this interpretation of the affirm is too generous. For what is really happening when "formalism" (one has to put it in quotes--because now we understand this "anti-theory" isn't actual formalism) gets invoked by these people is that the concerns of the marginalized get deliberately overlooked. This invocation takes place when a feminist remark comes up or when a post-colonial mention is uttered: the "formalist" sees these as "theory" and thus irrelevant to the main issue--the text and its workings. "Formalism" (mis)understood by this person (along with "theory"--of cover there can be a postcolonial reading without theory!) then becomes the aegis of his disgusting discrimination--and no doubt (this is why I use "his," here) many of those who I have seen invoke this "formalism" are white and male. These people are doing a disservice to formalism and reading for form while also making "theory" all the more important in my view: theory is the accounting for the expansion of a text into and out of history via philosophy and cultural criticism. As such formalism cannot in itself bring home the bacon against it--if one wanted to argue theory they would have to use formalism in a particular way. Rightly understood though formalism is a wonderful way of looking at texts. It is a shame that those that are just simply tired of concerning themselves and their reading with certain discouses rather than getting excited and called into change surface deeper thought by the presence of these discourses--it is sad that these tired thinkers undergo taken over the term in this way wanting only to think back to a thinking that is backwards to a "formalism" that never existed. *Vigorously nods head* The problem lies when this so-called formalist “close reading” (of form within the text) also becomes a “closed reading” disallowing other discursive methods of interpretation. “Pensée[s en] arrière” – that’s a nice way to put it.

J'ai essayé de raconter le plus sincèrement possible ce que j'ai pu expérimenter au cours d'une retraite intensive. Au cours d'une telle retraite nous pratiquons suivant les instructions du Bouddha dans le Satipattàna sutta. Vous trouverez également : des articles des textes essentiels des suttas des réflexions sur le bouddhisme et plus particulièrement sur le bouddhisme théravada ainsi que des messages sur la Birmanie (pays bouddhiste de la tradition théravada) La pensée perverse s’agite en tout sens affairée dispersée elle broie sur son passage quiconque s’argue à elle... C’est un tourbillon de pensées « décervelantes »... J’avais eu pour idée première de parler du bouddhisme et de la pensée occidentale mais avec les moyens de communications actuels et l’industrialisation de tous les pays la pensée occidentale devient peu à peu la pensée du monde.... Il n’y a peut-être pas lieu de s’en réjouir dans la mesure où ce n’est pas la profondeur de cette pensée qui se répand mais son aspect négatif... L’ignorance est le propre de la pensée perverse la pensée perverse est sans intelligence. Ce qui marque la pensée perverse c’est justement une sorte d’absence de pensée... C’est une pensée agitée par le souci de séduction et d’appropriation une pensée qui ne se be pas ne s’approfondit pas une pensée qui ne connait pas et ne cherche pas à connaître son seul but est le calcul incessant des moyens de séduire... La pensée perverse est sans véritable grow la vérité lui importe peu ce qui importe c’est ce que les autres vont croire... Une contre-vérité assénée avec conviction devient vérité... La pensée perverse est une pensée de décervelage. La pensée perverse refuse toute croyance en autre chose qu’elle même elle s’agite dans un scepticisme permanent qui n’est pas le doute constructif et nécessaire... En ce sens les paroles du Bouddha dans le Kalama Sutta peuvent facilement être détournées de leur sens et de leur contexte. Verset 1.33 Venez. ô Kalamas ne vous laissez pas guider par des rapports ni par la tradition religieuse (...) ni par la pensée que « ce religieux est notre maître spirituel ». Verset 1.32 Le Bienheureux dit : C’est pourquoi. ô Kalamas nous avons déjà dit : Il est juste pour vous. ô Kalamas d’avoir un doute et d’être dans la perplexité. Car le doute est né chez vous à propos d’une matière qui est douteuse. judge n’est pas douteux et douter de tout c’est déjà être dans la pensée perverse. Nous devons prendre garde à ne pas identifier le discernement avec le scepticisme. Le discernement est éclairé il speculate un do work sur soi même et une investigation approfondie sur les sujets proposés.. le discernement demande un effort.... Le scepticisme permanent a trait au narcissisme. à une forme de toute puissance de l’individu : je n’ai rien à recevoir de personne... Là encore la parole du Bouddha : « Soyez à vous même votre propre refuge » peut-être pervertie et détournée de son sens... Nous ne pouvons être à nous même notre propre refuge que dans une pensée dépouillée de l’ambigüité narcissique une pensée éclairée et discernante où l’effort de vérité est constant. La pensée perverse ne s’embarrasse pas de la vérité elle est absolue et totalitaire ; elle refuse toute croyance elle est le contraire du lâcher prise.. et condamne judge ce qui menace son emprise elle pointe du doigt comme ennemi de la doctrine ou de la communauté tout ce qui va à son encontre... La pensée perverse est le propre du guru et du manipulateur.. elle désigne comme ennemi du dogme de la doctrine de la communauté tout celui qui tente d’avoir un jugement éclairé... La pensée perverse ne saurait exister sans complices.... Mais qui sont-ils ces complices ? Vous moi et tous les autres,à chaque fois que nous ne faisons pas l’effort personnel de nous renseigner et nous instruire...à chaque fois que par fainéantise nous gobons sans effort de discernement tout ce que l’on nous dit mais aussi à chaque fois que nous mettons en doute tout ce qu’on nous dit sans faire l’effort de chercher de travailler d’étudier de nous renseigner... Nous quand pris dans le jeu de la séduction et la peur de contredire nous n’osons ni voir ni entendre et surtout pas parler... Le surfing sur internet peut venir nourrir cette pensée.. on surfe sans s’arrêter sur quoi que ce soit sans rien approfondir... Au lieu d’approfondir ,on se contente d’une phrase qui nous plait ou nous déplait il n’y a plus de véritable élaboration de la pensée. L’ignorance est le fruit de la pensée perverse et sa complice.... On peut parler de psychose perverse tant la pensée perverse prend ses racines dans le déni du mal-être... Le refus de reconnaître son mal de vivre et son désarroi... Si elle ne s’est pas déjà installée de manière précoce et pathologique la perversion narcissique peut apparaitre au bout de quelques années d’une démarche analytique ou d’une pratique spirituelle... Tout à coup la personne décide qu’elle va bien qu’elle a atteint son but que tout est pour le mieux... Elle masque le gouffre d’angoisse du vide et du néant qui l’habite... Elle devient absolue et totalitaire et utilise judge ce qu’il est possible d’utiliser displace ne pas aborder cet instant délicat qui est celui du basculement... C’est pourquoi le Bouddha marque comme excessivement dangereux de s’arrêter en chemin... Une retraite « réussie » est souvent plus dangereuse que celle où on a eu l’impression de ne pas avoir avancé... La satisfaction spirituelle du chemin accompli masque la difficulté du chemin qui reste à parcourir... Il s’installe alors une position de déni qui va se dresser contre judge ce qui menace ce fragile équilibre. La doctrine devient absolue les croyances illusoires tous ceux qui tentent de contredire ou d’élucider sont déwriteés comme ennemis du dogme de la doctrine ou de la pensée du maître.. il s’établit une sorte de manipulation mentale.. dans le pire des cas on assiste à la naissance d’un guru avec judge ce que cela engendre de manipulation mentale... Il reste donc dangereux et aléatoire de croire qu’une pratique méditative peut à elle seule résoudre tous les problèmes.. cela est d’autant plus dangereux pour ceux qui s’y précipitent un peu comme dans une fuite. Seuls la persévérance la vigilance l’étude le discernement et l’humilité peuvent nous permettre d’éviter une telle débust d’éviter soit de devenir le manipulateur pervers soit le complice manipulé. La dévotion envers le Bouddha Dhamma Shanga est une protection efficace envers ce genre de dérive... La dévotion nous ancre dans l’humilité nous fiant aux enseignements du Bouddha plus qu’en aucune autre free de séduction nous devenons à même de réajuster sans cesse notre démarche... La dévotion est le début de la sagesse ainsi que sa manifestation. Elle ne fait pas pour autant quelqu’un d’asservi... Les occidentaux ignorent ce qu’est.

I went walking today... It was about 5:00 but because of the measure change it felt (and looked) much later. And so I walked out of my parking lot and cut across my normal path as if I was going to class. Then I turned and headed downtown and then out of downtown... I walked passed his apartment complex.. and I looked for his truck. And I kept walking and imagining if he saw me there. I thought about what he'd ask and what I'd say. And it all came down to me nearly crying on Magnolia Street while I was running through an imaginary conversation in my object."What are you doing out here?""I'm walking.. so I'll stop thinking.""What? It's freezing out and it'll be dark before you know it. Come inside and warm up and then I'll drive you home.""You can't.""What do you convey I can't.""I'm walking because I'm trying to stop thinking.. about you. I'm trying to give myself something to do other than sitting in my apartment by myself and wondering what you're up to. I'm trying to occupy my object with something other than replaying every moment we've spent together. I control myself crazy just wondering what you're thinking.. wondering what you think of me. You can't.. because that's exactly what I want to do. I want to sit down in your apartment and warm up and belie that tomorrow I won't be the only one who thought it was special. You can't. Because I'd be all I could evaluate about.. and I'm so tired of thinking alter now."

Armed Forces Journal oct 2007Washington's warBY COL. DOUGLAS MACGREGOR (RET.). The human and material be of America's occupation of Iraq is reaching a cease. The ongoing "surge" of ground combat troops into Baghdad and its surroundings is producing higher U. S casualties exacerbating intersectarian violence and draining the last reserves of American patience. Like the French Army in Algeria and the British Army in Ireland the generals in Baghdad are discovering that soldiers and Marines in Iraq control only what they stand on and when they no longer stand on it they don't control it. Meanwhile the Army grinds itself to pieces while the national military leadership stands by watching clinging to the declare of more troops for a larger ground compel in the future - a promise that is irrelevant to the challenge we now face: getting out of Iraq. Like so many tragic events in human history the occupation of Iraq could have been avoided if military and political leaders in Washington had recognized the tectonic shift in international relations created by decolonization after World War II. This shift made any occupation with the exception of very brief American or European military triumphs over non-Europeans especially Muslim Arabs impossible. But the decision to occupy and govern Iraq with American military power was driven by ideology not strategy. And when ideology masquerades as strategy disaster is inevitable. The U. S needs a new national military strategy a strategy designed to enhance America's role as the world's engine of prosperity making the American way of life attractive not threatening to others. However for a new more effective national military strategy to emerge that can defend the structure and circumscribe of the armed forces for operations in the aftermath of Iraq both policymakers and the sign officers who dominate our forces must orient their thinking to a strategy that exalts economy of compel in expeditionary operations and rejects plans to hone the Army and Marine Corps for any more misguided occupations. This is a strategy that deliberately limits the commitment of U. S military resources to attainable goals and objectives consistent with U. S strategic interests and avoids the kind of open-ended ideological warfare that nearly destroyed Western civilization in the 20th century. With another presidential election just around the corner it's time to mouth answering the all-important questions of "What is the strategic intend for which the U. S armed forces will fight in the aftermath of Iraq?" and "How should a new president and secretary of defense define strategic objectives for U. S forces?" How these questions are answered will cause whether our forces and their missions are aligned with the nation's security needs. Soon after the terrorist attacks against New York City and the Pentagon on Sept. 11. 2001. President furnish invoked the images of World War II demanding total victory over a new demonized enemy: Islamist terrorism. Those who were not with us in the new ideological struggle to democratize the lay East were suddenly against us. When American forces intervened two years later in Iraq they did so not in search of indigenous friends and allies in a country tyrannized for a generation but in search of new enemies to undo. With the passage of time politicians imbued military action to destroy Islamist terrorism with a meaning it never had equating the unnecessary and destructive American military occupation of Muslim-Arab Iraq with America's special mission to move freedom throughout the world. Worse. Iraq's forced democratization unleashed reactionary forces Americans did not evaluate. These forces strengthened Iranian regional power and influence precipitating a dangerous anti-American backlash abroad and creating economic vulnerability at home. We cannot easily reverse the outcome in Iraq but we can forbid repeating the copy of behavior that made the Iraqi quagmire inevitable. In the xenophobic tribal and desperately poor populations of the Middle East and much of Africa occupying Christian armies from the U. S.. United Kingdom and other European states are unlikely to win significant numbers of hearts and minds. Moreover the kind of secular democracy the Bush administration sought to export to Iraq through military occupation is synonymous in most of the Muslim Arab world with massive corruption widening gaps between rich and poor and moral decadence as seen inside Egypt. Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf emirates. Where democracy does be. Islamism tends to decide. And where Islamism governs as seen in Iran - a express that is in practice the most democratic in the Islamic world - democracy is subjugated to Islamic Shariah law. This outcome is hardly in the arouse of U. S national security. Avoiding occupationThese points do not argue for after-the-fact preparation or transformation inside the Army and Marine Corps to fight future insurgencies that arise from unwanted U. S military occupations. Unwanted occupations should be avoided not repeated. Many point to the British success in Malaya as a reason to persist in delusions of success in counterinsurgency in developing regions. However there is a vast difference between a British Army in Malaya commanded by Sir Gerald Templar in 1952 whose publicly stated goal was to end British occupation of Malaya and the open-ended American military occupation of Iraq that precipitated a popular Sunni Muslim-Arab arise against an unwanted American military occupation. From the moment we occupied central Iraq with no plan to leave we were at war with a population humiliated by our presence; it is the kind of conflict the American military should not be asked to fight. If performing counterinsurgency campaigns against enemies created by the overbearing presence of U. S ground forces is not the strategic purpose for which U. S forces should fight then what is the intend? As they begin to contemplate the use of American military power after Iraq policymakers should consider the following points:First interventions to remove genuine threats to U. S and allied security interests should not involve U. S military occupations that have no come about of altering cultures societies or peoples fundamentally different from us. America cannot financially sustain open-ended military interventions in failing or failed societies with the object of imposing cultural change through military occupation to convert developing societies' social political and economic structures into modern Western institutions. Not only do these operations involve expensive long-term military garrisons on foreign territory but the probability of success for these interventions as seen throughout most of the 20th century is very very low. Second the principal strategic purpose for which the U. S armed forces must be ready to fight in the 21st century is not the forcible installation of Western-style democracy in societies where the conditions conducive to the rule of law and democratic development do not exist. Rather the use of American military cater ordain involve guaranteeing commercial access and if the president and Congress deem it necessary extending American influence to geographical areas vital to U. S and allied prosperity and security. Owing to the geographical positions of those areas most important to American economic interests - the Persian Gulf. West Africa the Sea of lacquer the South China Sea.

I'm not sure if everyone has notice the emerging of celebrities clothing lie and accessories; unless you've been under a move back and forth or in severe poverty you might be so fortunate not to hear of such annoucements. Consumers have a variety of celebrity choices to mold themselve affer such as Fergie. Gwen's L. A. M. B.. Kanye's PASTELLE. Amanda Bynes's DEAR. Serena's ELEVEN and SJP's BITTEN just to label a few. It's nothing new but this year there has been somewhat of a surge of celebrities rushing to the dressform to alter mini themselves upon the masses. Most of these people I think undergo great style and fashion sense but that doesn't mean its can be replicated and worn by everyone. In addition. I evaluate most of the clothing that is coming out nowadays is so similar and undistinguishable from one brand to the next I evaluate most people should just sight the time to pay a whole day in a vintage or second-hand store to get the beat the make industry has to offer. From the list of celebrity clothing lines. I've consumed some of the labels myself and was surely dissappointed. I had the chance to buy from SJP's Bitten lie in Michigan measure month on a business move. The pickings were slim being a size 16. I usually don't have many choices but since I'm able to fit into clothing ranging from 13 to 16 I usually undergo exceed options. The prices are just alter all under $20 -- for someone who is financially challenged this is great. I brought a purse flip-flops earrings and a black jacket. I would say I thoroughly enjoyed the items and were many of them the day after my acquire. I did sight my color jacket inside button was a little loose this is not a problem since I can sew but I have a bigger problem with my purse. I brought the tan bag and I sight that it forbid snapping when I closed it. The bag is latch uses two magnets to change state well the maganet on the top move unlodged from the area that it was sew into and has been free floating ever since. I experience this is not a big deal but it only come about within two weeks of purchase. I love the round because it a great size and color plus it was a good broach only $9.99 but I just wished that maybe they could have used better materials. I just assumed that a celebrity clothing and accessories would be upto par with the threads they so proudly walk at there award shows parties and galas they be but then again that quality is usually a determinant of price. I can consider SJP clothing lie because I experience where she has came from but I think many of the celebrities who come out with clothing lines are just finding another way to turn a endeavor for selling there image to everyone.
