Please note: Industrial-strength midterm and research paper hint follows.
We'll be blogging some more today on Joy Harjo --
Scroll down to last Thursday's post, the one that begins "Friday (weather permitting), we'll ..."
Well, weather didn't permit.
:)
But the assignment's still there. Anyway, read it. Blog it. We'll talk about it some in class. The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about how artistic expression communicates across cultures. How much of what Joy Harjo is writing about here appears to be specific to her own Native American culture? How of it is common to the wider American culture? How much do you think is universal -- in other words human nature that's common to people of all cultures? Ask yourself the three questions at the bottom of Thursday's blog (recycled for today). They're designed to help you get started thinking in terms of cultures.
Oh, and remember what we're doing here today. I'll make sure you have an opportunity later to write at more length about today's questions. Who knows? Perhaps on the midterm. Perhaps on a documented research paper. Perhaps both. Stay tuned.
