It is important to recognize that...

Harold Pinter The Menacing Silences In Truth

In The Lover (1962), the iconic social differences between the married wife & the elegant whore, between the socially accepted husband & the widely denied external lover, all turn blurred. They all become the same again to mock at traditionally accepted universal truths as they subvert radically at the face of a linguistic & textual identically. Pinter's most stage-succ...

Notion That Language Nature Of Language Sign
1,597 wordsWithin many English departments around the country today, radical claims about the nature of language have entered into discussions about literary texts. Bred out of the modern critical theory of Deconstruction, these discussions question if the true "meaning" of language can ever be determined. As a mode of literary analysis, Deconstruction essentially asserts that meaning within texts is at best indeterminate and arbitrary, as the language in which they are written is said to "fail, " to be "s...

The One Best System By David Tyack
1,436 wordsThe One Best System by David Tyack Tyack claims that although a noble concept, education does not serve all the purposes it was meant to serve.
