Yeah of course. I didn't even say 'the image presented', I just referred to it abstractly. The pomo picture was a guy in a mirror, so I talked about how pomo distorts convention much like a funhouse mirror. No direct reference is needed, as long as it's clear that your essay sprang out the of...

Did you guys write about challenges to the NATURE of representation or just challenges to various representations of ideologies?!

I give it 6. The essay was fantastic (pomo), I'd give that 10/10, but the creative brings it down....I thought the quote was terrible to try to relate to pomo, and I wasn't at all planning to do a story, so I ended up writing 8 pages of stuff that didn't have many pomo techniques at all and just...

Well I kinda got sucked in to the whole pomo thing and as a result...I don't think there is any truth. Truth is relative. I just went through systematically and identified one or two conventions or givens in each of my texts which were challenged by pomo (eg gender and history in orlando, time...

Oh my god you put a lot in there! Mine were... 'Sexing the Cherry' by Jeanette Winterson 'Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo' (all male dance troupe) 'Metafiction as Counterfeit Money' by Derrida I also threw in a few random references to Foucault and Simpsons and stuff....nothing in...

I didn't talk about the pic in detail because I thought it would sound too self conscious and it wasn't the main point of the question...I basically talked about the way pomo's attempts to redefine conventional representations of issues such as time, gender, language etc can be likened to a...

8 creative, 11 essay. I needed more time!

I'm sad....no more postmodernism. That was the best thing I have ever studied.

Absolutely. I went 15 minutes overtime on the essay and then had only 45 minutes to panic about the creative and try to think of something...I was still writing when they said oens down.

The quote for postmodernism was really difficult I thought...

I thought this was a pretty awesome essay...the picture threw me a bit at first but I thought the essay itself was great...a disguised question pretty much open to anything, I thought it was nice and broad but specific enough not to be too overwhelming. How much did eveyone write? I did 11 pages.

I wrote about going on a guided tour of a factory producing values. Jacques Derrida showed me through various experiment rooms where nuclear families (with the average of 2.5 children) watched episodes of the simpsons, world vision ads and infomercials. Derrida talked about the quote we were...

Of course they can.

It was last year. It was a fantastic paper, which could either be a good thing (ie they've finally worked out how to construct decent pomo questions that have no sign of legged ideas or running composers) or a bad thing (ie the moment has passed and they'll cook up something really nasty for us...

What do you mean by swapping creative ideas? As in what are we going to write? If that's what you're asking then it doesn't make much sense since no one will get good marks if we all have the same story. Or did you mean something else?

It all comes down to the reason you're doing the exam. I'm not trying to do well in order to get into uni - there are so many ways to get in these days that your UAI isn't the be all and end all. I want to do really well simply because I've worked hard for the last 2 years and I have...

We have our formal on the 12th, some poor people have French ext that day and are going to be so stressed out trying to get there in time.

Wednesday the 10th...art. Yay I get to finish with a bludge exam! Plus I have a 5 day break before it. But still, next week is a week I dread more than anything I have dreaded in my life.

Oh you're mean. :)

I got estimated 95-100...want 95, but while that seemed realistic BEFORE I started exams...I am now desperately clinging to the hope that extension will give me one last thread of hope. I stuffed up advanced so badly, and Modern, Ancient and Extension hist all loom dangerously next week. I'm...
