i love my job. i am very lucky to be doing my job. it is a privilege to be pursuing your dream career. but last night i spent four hours grading essays where my students argued that edgar allan poe's attraction to the fictional character annabel lee is proof that he was a child predator. i cannot explain to you the psychic damage and profound concern i suffer when i am forced to grade.

Feel the need to justify my comparison of George Eliot and Donna Tartt but Danny Lavery just tweeted it out, as it were ("The best part about Middlemarch’s Dorothea Brooke is how much she wants to be a boy undergraduate and for her husband to be college")

"From a very early age the child becomes part of a pattern he never fully understands and is powerless to change. It is a pattern that is made up of rituals - of form periods, morning assemblies, lessons that follow each other in quick succession for no apparent reason, bells rung by other people that govern his changes of activity, milk, school dinners, homework. His life is part of a scheme that has been devised by people he does not know, and into which he is expected to fit without question.

And it is here that we come to the real content of our educational structure. At school, the child is taught by experience that it is normal for other people to organize his life. He will be told in Civics or History that he lives in a democracy, which means that people govern themselves. But he will know as an experienced fact that he must expect to be governed by other people who know better than he does."

- Albert Hunt, The Tyranny of Subjects, in Education for Democracy (2nd ed., 1972)

today i was arguing with a student what constitutes writing, as that can range from glyphs to script to characters, and asked if a shape or color could be writing? she says, well no of course not. in most visual cultures, those are decorations, not communication. then i asked, if i showed you, a young american woman, a red octagon, is that communication? and she finally GOT it. that is semiotics!!

[dragonomatopoeia]

full disclosure i may also be having a Personal moment here as someone who left teaching for a number of reasons. one of those reasons being that my supervisors continually hammered in that We Have To Teach And Grade on Proper Grammar without paying any attention to the actual content, organization, or intelligibility of the students' arguments. like oh it doesn't matter if their arguments are well-founded or whether they make sense as long as they follow conventional grammatical rules. who cares if it's good writing! who cares if they expressed a well-reasoned argument! all we should care about is grammar!

You have described well how much Van Helsing and Mina's relationship has progressed.

From Van Helsing wanting to keep Mina in the dark for her own supposed safety and harming her this way, to suggesting them both go together to the most dangerous lair, and now literally carrying her too, towards their mutual goal. Like Sam with Frodo.

I do have to clarify that I have never watched the Lord of The Rings, and I have one of the books (that I have never read), but I know the impact of Sam and Frodo on tumblr dot com, and I do like to see parallels across literary genres so yes to all of this.

It's almost weird to not see any literary analysis done with this progression since Mina and Van Helsing are such pulling forces in the group, and in the themes of the book. On top of both of them having a confidant (Jonathan and Jack) that they trust with their life, and dedicate their last possible words as they walk towards Dracula's castle.

In English translations of the early nineteenth-century writings of German idealist G. W. F. Hegel, Aufhebung is sometimes translated as “positive supersession,” and intriguingly, this rather stiff bit of jargon unites the ideas of lifting up, destroying, preserving, and radically transforming, all at once. These four components can be illustrated with reference to slavery, the earliest example of a radical cause calling itself “abolitionist” in history. The successful global fight for the abolition of slavery meant that the noble ideal of humanism, trumpeted in the French Revolution, was simultaneously lifted up (vindicated), destroyed (exposed as white), preserved (made tenable for the future) and transformed beyond recognition (forced to incorporate those it had originally excluded). Slavery was overturned in law and eventually more or less done away with in practice. What we must understand, however, is that our very capacity to understand these events was generated by them. In the “before” times, the ideals that governed slave-trading societies really were human rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The world manifested those ideas as they existed then, until, at the end of an enslaved person’s rifle, the self-styled inventors of “freedom” in these societies learned at last what real freedom (a more real freedom, for the time being) looked like. Humanism: negated, remade, born, buried, prolonged. By winning the struggle against slavers, abolition gave the lie to those societies, and supplied those brave ideals with their first-ever shot at becoming more than words.
