One of the first moments of comedy

Abstract: In this short essay my goal is to venture into the role of story-telling and narratives in anthropological discipline and give one take on how it is possible to understand the given role. By drawing on Tim Ingold`s understanding of the processes of getting to know phenomena existing in the world around us I shortly discuss the idea of fieldwork as a cognitive journey defined by reflexivity. When doing fieldwork the anthropologist inevitably joins the stories shared with her with personal
It is now 2018 and yet women are still looked upon as less than a "man". Why is it that women are still being discriminated simply because they are women? Stereotypes still exist; that women are much weaker than men, that female's sole purposes are to nurse their children and clean the house, that females are incapable of finding new discoveries and brilliant ideas. In Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein written in 1818, the roles of women are not seen as significant or important and are most often
Analysis Save as many as you ruin Sometimes our life can be unkind, with all its difficult choices and we are going to make mistakes for the rest of our lives. Some mistakes that we cannot forget. Some that we are going to regret. But at some point in our life, we will get a chance to make up for our past. That chance, is a chance given to Gerard, the main character, in Simon Van Booy’s short story Save as many as you ruin. The story focuses on Gerard’s’ life, and takes a look on his mind. How
Just as last weeks reading centered around the narrative and the counter narrative around a particular event, namely 9/11, this week's reading deals with the issue of narrative as it is applied to the history of an entire country and the formation of national identities around these narratives. In places where political governance is stable and has a degree of legitimacy due to continuity and popular support, a national identity is more widely accepted. In a case like Hungary's in the novel, where

Successful narratives move audiences.With character, plot, and theme meaningfully complimenting each other, viewers can find themselves a greater understanding of their world. Inception’s narrative structure is a very complicated one. As we go further into the dream worlds, dreams within dreams, we start losing sight of where exactly we are in the story. The actual act of inception, making Fisher believe in a planted idea, is the whole theme of the film, really. The narrative guides us along, telling
This story reminds me a movie called “The Hunger Games”.Those two familiar scenes all described a weird fact—The luckiest man is also the most unfortunate man. To be honest,I already knew the ending of this story while villagers talking about some places have already given up lotteries.I was not surprised that it won’t be a funny story,but after I read the ending,I still felt sad.My brain was totally blank within a few minutes,breath became heavy and I opened my mouth without one word.I want to
The narrator, who defensively claims he’s sane throughout the story, impulsively kills and stuffs a man under his floorboards. Not surprisingly, as an unstable killer, he tries to justify his actions to a seemingly unsympathetic audience, at least I’m not convinced.
