Thinking Activity : Cultural studies unit 1

Hello Friends!


In our study we have learned about culture and cultural studies. This blog is an educational work of thanksgiving for the activity on Cultural and Cultural Unit 1. The work is given by Dil. Dilip Barad, head of the English department. So let's see.



  Question : What is 1 culture?


  Culture is the way of life, behavior, beliefs, values ​​and symbols of a group of people, and they are generally accepted without thinking about them, and they go through communication and imitation from one page to the next. Culture is a symbolic conversation.

  Culture means that it was something coming from the past that was thought out and made perfect. Today's culture is about today's time. Everyday thinking, sound life is important.


  Question : What is 2 cultural studies?

  Cultural studies, interdisciplinary field related to the role of social institutions in cultural shape.

  As Patrick Brantliger points out, cultural studies are not a coherent, cohesive movement with a fixed agenda, but a loose coherent set of trends, issues, and questions. Marxism, Post-Structuralism and Postmodernism, Feminism, Gender Studies, Ethnography, Religion, Sociology, Gender and Ethnic Studies, Film Theory, Urban Studies, Public Policy, Popular Culture Studies, and Postcolonial Studies: Elements that focus on social and cultural forces. Which either creates a community or causes division and climax.


Question : Four goals of cultural studies.

  Cultural studies is an interdisciplinary field of academic study that draws from other disciplines such as history, ethnography .National and political science. The goal of cultural studies is to analyze and understand how cultures are constructed and how they evolve over time.


First, cultural studies transcend the limits of a particular discipline, such as literary criticism or history.

Second, cultural studies are politically engaged.

Third, cultural studies reject the division of "high" and "low" or elite and popular culture.

Fourth, cultural studies analyze not only cultural work, but also the means of production.

Q: How is the understanding of 'power' at the center of cultural education?

  Cultural studies reads power with critical understanding, it makes students, scholars, politically incorrect. Being in the majority, C.S. It is also difficult to survive in the wheels of academia.

Numbers

How power exercised?

Indian Poetics: Prof. Vinod Joshi's expert lectures

Iindian Poetics Prof. Vinod Joshi's expert lectures

             introduction about: Vinod Joshi

Gujarati language poet, writer and literary critic, Vinod Joshi is famous for his poetry "Sairandhri" written in Sterlia. His long poem, 'Shikhandi' is based on the character of Shikhandi in the Mahabharata.

  He has been nominated for many awards such as:



      (1) Jayant Pathak Puraskar ( 1985 )

     (2) Critic's Award ( 1986 )

     (3) Kavishwar  Dalpatram Award ( 2013 )

     (4) Sahitya Gaurav Puraskar ( 2015 )

     (5) Narsinh Mehta Award ( 2018 )

     (6) Kalapi Award ( 2018 )

We have a workshop on Indian poetic subject by Dr.Vinod Joshi Sir in the Department of English, Maharaja KrishnakumariSinhji Bhavnagar University..

At the start of the lecture he began the lecture "What is Criticism?" When it was a common question, a very simple committee of criticism and Indian mimansa was presented.


 ભરતમુનિ = રસ સંપ્રદાય

આનંદવધૅન = ધ્વનિ સંપ્રદાય

કુંતક = વક્રોક્તિ સંપ્રદાય

વામન = રીતિ સંપ્રદાય

ભામહ = અલંકાર સંપ્રદાય

ક્ષેમેંદ્ર = ઔચિત્ય સંપ્રદાય

Indian ideology emphasizes the process, while Western Criticism emphasizes the outcome.Indian mythology is very famous for its elegance in describing its process. Sound is natural, while language is artificial.
                 


" विभानुभावव्यभिचारी संयोगात रसनिष्पत्ति । "


વિભાવ

વ્યભિચારી ભાવ

અનુભવ

સંયોગ


1. વિભાવ :-

જેના આધારે રસ નિષ્પન્ન થાય તે.
વિભાવના મુખ્ય બે પ્રકાર છે :

1. આલંબન ભાવ
ઉદાહરણ :- શકુંતલા, દુષ્યંત,

2. ઉદીપન ભાવ
ઉદાહરણ : લતામંડપ , વાતાવરણ.


2. અનુભાવ :-

પ્રતિક્રિયા તે અનુભાવ.

ઉદાહરણ.

દુષ્યન્ત ને જોઇને શકુંતલાનું લજ્જાઈ જવું.


3. સંચારી ભાવ :-

અસ્થાયી ભાવ.


4. સંયોગ  :-

ઉપરના ત્રણેય ભાવ જયારે ભેગા થાય ત્યારે સંયોગ થયો એમ કહેવાય. આ ચારેેેય ભાવ ભેેગા થઈને રસ નિષ્પન્ન કરે છે.

The next day, Sir vinod Joshi discussed the nine permanent prices after explaining how the language is produced by a little emotion, sensation, and thought before explaining the rhetoric of Bhamah. These are the nine fixed prices:

રતિ = શૃંગાર રસ

શોક = કરુણ રસ

ઉત્સાહ =વીર રસ

ક્રોધ =રૌદ્ર રસ

હાસ= હાસ્ય રસ

ભય= ભયાનક રસ

જુગુપ્સા = બિભત્સ રસ

વિસ્મય = અદ્ભુત રસ

શમ /નિરવદ = શાંત રસ

"That is what Rasa for us."

In addition, Bharat muni gave four rhetoric explaining the rhetoric :-

ભટ્ટ લોલ્લટ

શ્રી શંકુક

ભટ્ટ નાયક

અભિનવગુપ્ત

અને તેઓએ આપેલા અલંકાર વિશેના મતોની ચર્ચા કરી હતી.

1. Bhatt Lollat: -

This theory he gives is called "creationism." According to him, there is no interest. Interest has to be generated.


  2. Mr. Shankuk: -

Mr. Shankuk Bhatt does not agree with Lollat's vote. Mr. Shankuk says that one has to guess at what exactly it is not of interest. We are expected to guess what happens. The representation is estimated in four ways:
         


 (1)  યથાર્થ પ્રતિતિ / સમયર્થ પ્રતિતિ

 (2)  મિથ્યા પ્રતિતિ

(3) સંશય પ્રતિતિ

(4)  સાદ્રશ્ય પ્રતિતિ


3. Bhatt Nayak: -

The opinion of Bhatt Nayak is called generalization or Bhuttoism. Bhatt Nayak says that the issue is not only of the audience but also of the audience and the interest is felt when they both reach the same level in the price and experience.

4. Abhinavagupta: -

According to Abhinavagupta's view, the play is of interest. Enlightenment is realized. Thus, the next day, the nine ropes mentioned above and four ornithologists and their opinions were discussed.

આ દિવસે શ્રી વિનોદ જોશીએ આનંદવધૅનના ધ્વનિશાસ્ત્રની ચર્ચા કરી હતી. આ પહેલા તેમણે કલા વિશે ખુબ જ ઉપયોગી માહિતી આપી હતી અને કહ્યું હતું કે ભર્તૃહરિના મત મુજબ,

"કલા વગરનો માણસ શિંગડા અને પૂંછડા વિનાનો પશું છે "

In addition, he specifically stated that no language is ever destroyed, but it grows.
Then he discussed the main three syllables. The three passwords are as follows:

 (1).  અભિધા
Abhidha means the direct meaning of any sentence.

 (2). લક્ષણા
Attention means not the direct meaning of any sentence but the close meaning.

 (3). વ્યંજના
The meaning of the consonant is quite different from what is said.

In this lecture of the day, Sir vinod Joshi explained by example the many types of poems in the three types of sound. He discussed in detail the three main types of sound. These three types are:

 (1). વસ્તુ ધ્વનિ
(2). અલંકાર ધ્વનિ
(3). રસ ધ્વનિ


આ દિવસે શ્રી વિનોદ જોશી સરે ભામહના અલંકારશાસ્ત્રની ચર્ચા કરી હતી.


Ornaments are not natural but applied.


ભામહ એ અલંકારવાદી વિવેચક ગણાય છે.

બોલવું એની સાથે વ્યકતિમતતા જોડાયેલી છે.


" तददोषो  शब्दार्थौ  सगुणं  अलंकृत  पुनःवाद: ।"

અલંકાર યથાસ્થાને વપરાયેલો હોવો જોઈએ.

અલંકાર ઓતપ્રોત હોવો જોઈએ, અડોઅડ નહીં.


આમ, વિનોદ જોશી સરે ભાલણ અને પ્રેમાનંદના નળાખયાનના ઉદાહરણ દ્વારા  અલંકારશાસ્ત્રની સમજૂતી આપી હતી.

Thus, all the above information is about our entire seven-day discussion on Indian poetry by Dr. Po Vinod Joshi Sir. We had a great seven days. This memory will always remain in my heart. I am very grateful to Dr. Vinod Joshi Sir and Dr. Dilip Bard Sir for organizing this knowledge and wonderful session

Thinking Activities : Digital Humanities :

Thinking Activities : Digital Humanities :

  Hello readers!

  Here is my blog on digital humanities. Digital humanity is a part of our syllabus. This task given by Professor Dilip Bard Sir in English department of bhavnagar university.

 Question :  Define Digital Humanity?

In its original digital humanity, for many years, one has resembled the usual methodological view of investing or researching, arguing, competing, and collaborating with a particular set of texts.

  Digital Humanities, also known as Humanities Computing, is a field of study, research, teaching and discovery that deals with the intersection of computing and the humanities disciplines. It is methodical by nature and is interdisciplinary in scope. These include investigation, analysis, synthesis and presentation of information in electronic form. It studies how these media affect the disciplines they use, and how these disciplines contribute to our knowledge of computing.

  Question : What is doing in the English department?

  Matthew G. Write three of the six reasons given in the article by Kirschbaum. after numerical input, text is the most traitable data type to be manipulated by a computer. Images, audio Dio and vice versa, there is a long tradition of text-based data processing that was also within some of the capabilities of the early computer system and has been given research for decades at the heart of stylistics, linguistics and author attribution studies. Belongs to the English department. Of course, there is a long connection between computers and compositions, and the richer they are in their lineage.


  There is an openness to the cultural studies of English departments, where computer and other objects of digital content culture have become the focus of objects analysis. I'm thinking of a Stewart Hall reader here and an example of others around the Sony Man Command who are hipster ipad old.

  Question : Do you think there is a need for literature study / research?

  Yes, we think digital humanity is needed in the teaching research of literature. Digital humanity is very important for studying literature and literature research. Digital tools are very useful for the study of literature. The digital platform is completely based on a variety of tools and languages. While research is also very important in the language.

  Question : As it helps in the study of English language literature, can it help in the study / research of local language literature (i.e. Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu etc.)?

  Yes. Digital humanity helps to study / research literature written in the vernacular. There are many languages ​​on the digital platform that are used by digital tools. It can help write other languages ​​or it will help translate one language into another.

Thinking Activities John Keats

Keats: Finding out approaches to Death in Literature

Hello readers!


Here is my blog on Thinking Activity on John Keats: Finding out approaches to Death in Literature given by Dr. Heenaba Zala, Department of English.


In our curriculum we have a romantic literature paper in which a unit about John Keats and we learned about his poetry. His poem about death. Therefore, our work is about how death is usually done by other authors in the literature. First we talk about John Keats and his poem about death, and how we usually deal with death by other writers. Task given by Professor D amaina Heena ma'm Zala of the English Department.


  When we hear the word "death" we fear that something is wrong with us and our loved one. People do not want to hear and talk about death. Death is the reality cycle of our lives. We know why one day death brings more fear to us than death. People are scared to death. We are scared about the death of the one we love. Death came at a time in our lives. Why we do not accept the reality of life. People do not want to talk about death. But we can see that in literature, writers have a tendency toward death. In various forms of literature we can see that many authors use the theme of death. Death is the most beloved and favorite subject for the author. Death is the law of nature. We cannot disturb it; if we try to do so, it leads to our destruction.


  Not only is the literary description of death busy with the tragic scene of death or personal loss, but the concept of death can be understood as the site of many speculations and fantasies, and as a metaphor for many social issues. Literature can also discuss death through metaphors and characterization. Literature can provide us with ways to approach death and imagination from different perspectives. Some literary genres (illusions) have been deliberately written as reactions to the loss of a favorite thing or person, and can serve as a consolation for those who suffer from literature. Death exists in the literature on several levels: it is part of stories, fantasies, metaphors, and character traits: it reaches beyond its own sphere of literature and discusses social issues and emotions related to death that the reader recognizes.

John Keats :

John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795 to Thomas Keats and his wife, Frances Jennings. There is little evidence of his exact birthplace. Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st. He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez. Another son was lost in infancy. His father first worked as a hostler at the stables attached to the Swan and Hoop Inn, an establishment he later managed, and where the growing family lived for some years. Keats believed that he was born at the inn, a birthplace of humble origins, but there is no evidence to support his belief.

Licking devotion to beauty and poetry is even more noteworthy considering its inferior origin. John Keats was a famous poet.

  John Keats has four odes, on a Grecian noun, a Nightingale, two autumn and psyche. These poems are like a festive invitation. De Do to a Nightingale can find four things: a love of sensual beauty, a touch of pessimism, a completely pagan concept of nature and strong individualism.

"The Death of the Ball  Turret Gunner" :

The action of this poem is very direct. A soldier goes into battle at the bombardment of a Bomber-2 bomber. He's killed. The poem is written in the voice of a dead pilot.

"The Death of the Turret Gunner" is a five-volume poem by Randall Jarl, published in 1945. It is the death of a gunman in a spy bomber in the American bomber aircraft of World War II. Jarrell was the perfect person to write a final war poem. He was not just some poet who decided to write about the brutality of war from the outside. That was the real deal. He was not a ball tower gunner, but he was not a tower operator working with the bomber crew.

Shakespeare's King Lear :

Tragedy usually represents a meaningful and dramatic physical death that prolongs the scene of death, as based on the classical, tragic tragedy in Shakespeare's King Lear, and the play often ends with the tragic hero's premature death. Development of some kings of self-belief. The meaningful existence of the hero in the tragedy is paradoxically created by his death. Literature offers insights into death, death, and morality in many ways.

  We have no reliable information about death as an experience, and it emphasizes the nature of death as a secret and mysterious event. Death is the bitter truth of human life. Usually people are scared to death. But death is one of the authors' most interesting and favorite topics in literature.
