Intro: Modernism and Art Attention! 2021-10-05 | #modernism #booktubeModernism and artBeginning in the late nineteenth century a movement began to sweep the globe that brought radical change to every aspect of life. The industrialized world was on the rise after witnessing the tragedies of World War I, and artistic movements began to change culture in ways that are still seen today. People were re-examining their values and finding traditional concepts of the Enlightenment were no longer applicable. A desire for a new way of creating and expressing the individual’s place in the world emerged and abstract art from literature to music became the norm.

The Philosophical Threads of Authorship | AWC 2024 Attention! 2024-06-30 | This thought-provoking seminar explores the intricate relationship between current philosophical trends and the art of writing, offering a unique perspective on how awareness of these trends can empower authors to gain more control over their creative expression. Mirroring Reality Through Words: Examine the correlation between philosophical trends and the reflection of reality in literature. Understand how being attuned to these trends enables authors to mirror and interpret the world around them through their work. Benefits of Conscious Writing: Investigate the transformative benefits of conscious writing, where authors, readers, and intersubjective communication converge. Learn how being cognizant of these elements enhances the development of ideas and creates a more relatable experience for the reader. Beyond Fiction: Redefining Reality in Writing: Challenge the notion of writing fiction and explore the impossibility of truly writing fiction in the conventional sense. Discover how awareness of this paradigm shift puts authors in control of the reality that influences their work, transcending traditional boundaries. Leave empowered with a profound understanding of philosophy's role in your writing, and take control of your narratives, armed with insights that illuminate the hidden threads shaping your words!

Edgar Allan Poe, Kierkegaard, and Anxiety Attention! 2021-11-02 | #Poe #BookTube Edgar Allan Poe, Kierkegaard, and AnxietyIn this video, we discuss characters found in a few short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, and what they tell us about Kierkegaard’s concept of anxiety. The primary focus is on the story The Imp of the Perverse—a story by Poe that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. We discuss the psychology in characters such as the unnamed narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart, and Narrative of A. Gordon Pym. Many of Edgar Allan Poe’s characters seem to reflect a particular side of what Kierkegaard called anxiety, often translated to dread.

Opening Lines of The Stranger by Albert Camus Attention! 2021-08-31 | Opening Lines of The Stranger by Albert CamusMaman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know. Although, it has been said that these opening lines are impossible to translate into English, this begins the short novel “The Stranger” by Albert Camus. Here, we will take a look at the antihero Meursault, and how he is portrayed in the work. Though often accused of many things in which Camus had spoken out against, he is nonetheless a complex character that is well established within the opening lines of The Stranger (often translated to The Outsider).

The Door by Magda Szabo/Character Analysis Attention! 2021-07-10 | #Booktube #booktalk #thedoorThe Door by Magda SzaboMagda Szabo’s The Door was first published in 1987. The novel explores the relationship between two women, a housekeeper, Emerence, and an author, Magda. The novel continues throughout contributing mythological characteristics to the character of Emerence, building her up as something that resembles more folklore than it does truth. This short character analysis provides one example of how myth works to drive a story forward.Channel mentioned and the video on The Door by Magda Szabo:Everyone who Reads it Mus Converse:youtube.com/watch?v=XzuzOFP1IpcFollow me here: Instagram: instagram.com/paeveoTwitter: twitter.com/Pae_Veo
What is an Author? Author-Function (Foucault) Attention! 2021-06-26 | #litcrit #literarytheory What is an Author? In 1969, French philosopher Michel Foucault delivered a lecture titled, “What is an Author?” This lecture can be taken as a response to the notion of the death of the author, made famous by Roland Barthes. Foucault states his idea of the author as a timeless irreducible category, one in which he calls, the Author-function. In this video, I discuss what he describes as the Author-function, and what it is Foucault saw as filling the empty void that the death of the author left. The four characteristic traits of the author-function:1) the author function is linked to the juridical and institutional system that encompasses, determines, and articulates the universe of discourses; 2) it does not affect all discourses in the same way at all times and in all types of civilizations.3) it is not defined by the spontaneous attribution of a discourse to its producer, but rather by a series of specific and complex operations.4) it does not refer purely and simply to a real individual, since it can give rise simultaneously to several selves, to several subjects—positions that can be occupied by different classes of individuals” Follow me here!

Death of the Author Analysis Attention! 2021-06-19 | #litcrit #deathoftheauthor #booktubeThe short essay, The Death of the Author by Roland Barthes, was published in 1967. This essay offered new insight on the relationship between the author and reader. Barthes states that the death of the Author must be for the birth of the reader. The purpose and meaning of a text is not something that is placed in the text by the author and left for the reader to “decode,” but the meaning of a text is something that begins and ends with the reader. Here, we discus this, along with other key concepts found in the essay.

Literary Criticism/Deconstruction Attention! 2021-06-12 | #litcrit #literarytheoryLiterary Criticism/Deconstruction In today’s video, we discuss deconstruction as a form of literary criticism. Deconstruction began in the 1960s, largely due to the work of Jacques Derrida and his published works, “Of Grammatology” and “Writing and Difference.” Though Derrida would spend his career defining deconstruction, it would become a turning point in the world of literary criticism. Though it has been largely misunderstood, this video attempts to clear up some of the misconceptions, as well as give a brief understanding of how deconstruction works as a form of criticism.

Literary Criticism/structuralism vs deconstruction Attention! 2021-05-29 | #litcrit #literarytheory Structuralism vs. Deconstruction Deconstruction derived primarily from the work of Jacques Derrida in the 1960s. Within the context of structuralism, Derrida interrogated Western philosophy, and challenged its institutions. Deconstruction looks at the relationship between text and language and examines the structuralist movements that had been hugely influential in logistics and the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. Here, we take a quick look at both structuralism and deconstruction side by side, and clear some misconceptions while defining terms along the way!
Literary Criticism/Part Three (start of structuralism) Attention! 2021-05-22 | #litcritIn today’s video on literary criticism and theory, we will be taking a look at what started the structuralist movement. We will take a look at psychologists such as Wilhelm Wundt, and hist student Edward B. Titchener, as well as the father of modern linguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure. Defining many of the terms, we will show how structuralism began and how it became a theory on language to a literary theory.

Literary Criticism/Part Two Attention! 2021-05-08 | #booktube #litcritIn the first video we went over three approaches to literary criticism: formalist, psychological/psychoanalytic, and mythological/archetypal. Today we will take a quick look at historical criticism, and see how these approaches that we have gone over can be applied to a specific work. Literary criticism is the way in which works of literature are analyzed using specific approaches developed by literary theorists. These approaches can lend a better understanding to an author's intended purpose of a work.

Kilgore Trout an Introduction Attention! 2021-03-23 | #Vonnegut #sciencefiction #booktubeAlthough there is not much known about the science fiction author, Kilgore Trout, what is known is only speculative. Despite writing over 117 novels and 2000 short stories, if Trout was known at all to critics, it was strictly for his terrible writing. However, many of the ideas found in Trout’s stories are just as relevant today as they were whenever he wrote them. He died in 2001. Or 1981. Maybe 2007. But it could have been 1985.
