Arts One is one of the oldest, yet most innovative, programs of its kind. Established in 1967, the program was ahead of its time in recognizing the value of small cohort learning and an integrated, inter-disciplinary curriculum. It offers a dynamic team of instructors from various disciplines and organized around a guiding theme and reading list. A typical Arts One reading list contains both a core of works widely regarded as literary classics, and critical or alternative texts from a range of genres, some which challenge the authority of the so-called “great books” and some that might be regarded as classics in their own right.
I am not sure what her point is. The text reveals alot about Freud being forgetful and having unfinished works? Sounds ridiculous. Probably her Masters thesis or something. Good lecture otherwise. The lsd comment sounds entirely wrong.
This lady should lear something about Foucault!! She says he was always 'very left'!! Wrong!!! After his very brief flirt with the Communist Party (something almost ALL french intelectuals did at that time) he became a fierce anti-communist and anti-marxist. He considered himself as being right-wing and a gaulist until the events of May 68 when he 'mutated' into a maoist for some time. By the time he died he had shifted again, this time into pro-capitalist liberalism!!
very based! the left shouldn't be monopolized by Marxists, Communists, Stalinists and Maoists, who have been good for nothing but repress our liberties!
It's important to note that Foucault lived and taught in Tunisia for a brief period of time before 1968. He supported the revolutionary activities of some students and even went to prison in place of a student who was arrested while protesting. This should be set against the protests of 1968, yes, but also the October massacre of several Algerians protesting French presence in Algeria (which Foucault and many other French intellectuals did not acknowledge).
I am from India In my view, without Sigmund Freud, no subject and dimension can be properly explained.Sigmund Freud is the best intellectual and genius ever born
Thank you for the upload! Give a like if you too googled Foucault with hair during the lecture 😂 for one I would have to disagree about Foucault's science of sex, i mean scientific studies initially were very much inclined against sex, not promoting it. For the latter part, the scientific gaze worked as a shield for any personal involvement or 'confession', which hid the desires of the researcher. It is only the third party interpretation of empirical results that led to the promotion of sex in the modern world. Yet, it couldn't do away with the dogma that was outside the bounds of empirical analysis. Look at the sad defeat of Pro Sex feminism in te 1980s for example, just after the so called 'sexual revolution', which had failed before.
Ooooh I wish I could view you teaching a Yeats course! Loved your TS Eliot. I bet you might enjoy the new book by David Graeber, the Dawn of Everything. Glad to know of you.
I think an important nuance at 24:08 is that our will to knowledge is not so much a want for knowledge because sexuality is important for us, but the willing into existence of ''knowledge'' out of sheer will for power. We produce ''knowledge'' about it in order to obtain power over it. That knowledge is not the actual truth.
Hello, the link to the Prezi is no longer working. Is it possible to share again? I am teaching Apocalypse Now as an adaptation of Heart of Darkness to my senior students in high school and would appreciate a link to the Prezi if at all possible. Thank you!
But why sexuality is hidden? Why aren't we just like other species? Why everything has to be complicated by us? The problem of awareness, I think, added more complicated issues to us, since we are aware of our inner self and not having any access to it. We all the time ACTING, HIDING AND ACTING . maybe civilization itself caused this problem too.
This is the type of question that I think most people should have just figured out by growing up. Civilization does "cause these problems" because you can only maintain civilization if sex is handled in a certain way. Only monogamous cultures can be maintained. There have been cultures that tried to other things and they grew weak and were easily defeated. So all sexual values are about maintaining monogamy. If you want to be a slut you have to do it unseen where it will not weaken higher values.
Well, fair enough 👏, ending his life that way. Maybe he had disgusted with life and the suffering it brings to an individuals. All what we have known is suffering, suffering with birth and suffering with death and a lots of suffering while we are a life. And still people want to assume that there is life after death and still want to life it. I think they should read the epic of Gilgamesh and how he gave a brilliant answer to whoever wants to leave forever.
