[big al]

what essay questions have you got!!!!....

what r we suppose to examine when we do cloudstreet are we supose to look at the different meanings...what meanings are there HELP!!!!!

 

[gnrlies]

Thats the same question i have

Someone please answer us!

 

[TastesGoodBut]

one we got for an assessment:

something about whether a leavisite reading was valid for interpreting the text studied

basically you had to decide for or against, and back it up with other readings and stuff

in the end my answer was that other readings should be undertaken but a leavisite is still useful in understand the authors intent etc....

I'm also in the same boat. Where can we find a study supplement for cloudstreet? I'm having a bit of trouble with it....

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

they r all quite shit 2 b honest, none of them looks at critical theories only levisite, tho they r handy wif quotes. imo its better 4 u 2 apply different critical theories and develop ur own readings wif supporting evidence and keeping txtual integrity

 

[inasero]

it is arguable the extent to which one can maintain textual integrity in the application of a reading...for as Marx mentioned in his famed manifasto...Ideologies are subject to socio-economic forces and to think otherwise would be deceiving ourselves with a 'false consciousness'...

anyhows what you'll generally find is that the various study guides out there do not give readings from particular perpectives so I recommend you search around for academic criticisms....one example is 'the God quest in Australia' which applies a religious reading...

ooh i know what textual integrity is now...

the unity of a text; its coherent use of form and language to produce an integrated whole in terms of meaning and value

well thats what the board of studies thing says anyhow....

text as a whole
a resistant or new criticism deconstructs textual integrity
dominance focus on the text as a whole and what the text represents to a reader.
E.g. To a mexican--> life in australia
To an australian-->bookmark in history
to a feminist->representative of the female figure in post colonial literature
to an aboriginal-> aboriginal death and the apparent reconiliation of the dead in the end scene
to an alien->civilisation
to a nerd->gold
