Response to Casey’s Exegetical Essay

Jackson Casey’s Essay on Emile Armand’s, “Revolutionary Nudism” is structured around a passage in which Armand details three parts of revolution, affirmation, protest, and liberation. After an introduction about the importance of nudism Casey structures the essay similarly to Armand’s essay, by taking the categories of affirmation, protest, and liberation, and thoroughly explaining what Armand meant by his descriptions, and Armand’s perspective through it. Casey shows a strong understanding of the text, writing with the “technicians” approach.

Casey’s writing style in this essay can definitely be seen as the “technicians” approach to writing. There is not much deviation from the subject in Armand’s essay.

  • A Feminist Defense Of Pornography Wendy Mcelroy Analysis

    522 Words  | 2 Pages

    Wendy McElroy in “A Feminist Defense of Pornography” argues that degrading is subjective to each women and it’s up to them to define it. As much as that is true, does it mean that there shouldn’t be a standard to the word “degrading”? Take for example, pain is subjective, the same papercut can feel painful to me yet not to another person. There are even people who suffer from congenital analgesia (the inability to feel physical pain), But does this mean that it is right to inflict physical pain on those people? The law is the standard for defining physical pain and so the term “degrading” should also has its standard as it will cause harm to others.

  • An Analysis of Feminist Articles

    Kinoshita begins the article by examining critical essays by William S. Woods, Charles Huchet and Michelle Freeman. Each critic has a different interpretation on what aspects of her writing make Marie de France a feminist writer. In his article, "Femininity in the Lais of Marie de France," Woods focuses on Marie's writing style and her "evident [femininity] in every aspect of the text," (qtd. in Kinoshita 263). Woods argues Marie de France's feminine voice is apparent in her writing style and is "emphasized by repetition, exaggeration, diminutives and excessively detailed descriptions," (Kinoshita 263). Kinoshita explains Woods' stereotypical views have a lot to do with the year in which the article was written, the 1950s.

  • Siobhan Sommerville's Article: Scientific Racism And The Homosexual Body

    728 Words  | 2 Pages

    In nineteenth century, a discourse on homosexuality started to occur; meanwhile, boundaries between black and white became more and more clear. (16) It was the era when the issues that were considered as minority started to appear, and it was also the time when people were reinforcing their ideal “social norms” into the society. It was a dark age for LGBT people, African American people and female. In the article, Scientific Racism and the Homosexual Body, the author, Siobhan Sommerville, makes a strong connection between scientific racism and sexology and women’s bodies. “Although some historians of the scientific discourse on sexuality have included brief acknowledgement of nineteenth century discourses of racial difference in their work,

  • Argument as to How Objectum Sexuality is Portrayed in Vernon Lee’s My Bicycle and I

    540 Words  | 2 Pages

    Written in 1904, Lee’s My Bicycle and I is perhaps the earliest representation of objectum sexuality expressed in literature. Objectum sexuality is a relatively new concept, although it has gained some small amount of public attention with individuals of this sexuality appearing in media such as The Tyra Banks Show and Good Morning America. Objectum sexuality can be defined as the sexual attraction to nonhuman objects. These relationships are as completely valid as those with people and, as in the case of Erika Eiffel, can also end in marriage. In this work, objectum sexuality is possibly portrayed through multiple references to being a companion to her bicycle, an almost excessive amount of time spent with her bicycle, and gratuitous amounts of praise towards her bicycle. However, it can be assumed that her talk of bicycles and horses is a metaphor for relationships in general.

  • Analysis Of Let's Put Pornography Back In The Closet

    895 Words  | 2 Pages

    Let’s Put Pornography Back in the Closet” is an persuasive essay written by Susan Brown Miller stating and giving her reasons on why she thinks pornography should be removed from all the shelves in America. She goes on to state what kind of influence porn has negatively on society, and how it’s no good in our society to persuade readers that pornography should be taken off of public shelves. In her article, she does state very valid points and substantial reasons why pornography should be removed from shelves. But also, she does sound a lot like a person who is very critical of something that she believes is wrong morals wise because that’s how she was raised perhaps. Some of the methods she uses are the analogy method, quantitative method, and some emotional appeal as well. She also has some unsupported generalizations that she had made up herself. Either way, there were a few instances to where I was completely against with Miller’s arguments, but they were outweighed by the instances where I did agree with Miller. In all, this essay persuades me to support her opinion on pornography being taken out the public shelves because of the valid reasons and points that she used to support her opinion.

  • Analysis Of Kerry James Marshall's Exhibition Mastry

    1135 Words  | 3 Pages

    Think of the last time you saw a painting that featured African Americans in it. Were they the main focus? Did the painting have only African Americans or did it include white Americans too? Now think about the artist, were they an African American? The average person who knows little to nothing about art most likely does not know any African American artists or does not know many artworks that involve only black people in a non-historical context. Kerry James Marshall’s exhibition Mastry is exactly that. It is made up of multiple artworks which only show black people in both historical and non-historical contexts. This exhibition helps to counter this issue of the lack of artworks where only black people are portrayed how white people would
