Reconsidering the drive of Resolutions: Factoring in the Collective. Photo by Granlund One thing most of us can agree on is that resolutions are a pain to deal with. A resolution represents a marker for change, which can be immensely difficult when we are steeped in the rut of habit. Observe the aunty who has the resolution to move to Australia or that MLM friend who has a resolution to peak in sales and retire at 30. More often than not, our dreams and desires may not come true, nor will they result in the happiness we expect to gain. Instead, most resolutions are insufficient when contrasted to the bigger picture. Many of us do eventually experience the sense of hopelessness; in pursuing something that does not provide the fulfillment we expect. When we enter such a stage, our resolutions falter and disappear, our confessions and failures become shamefully hidden, only written in white space or in denial. In our over-expectations, and in our bets placed in the wrong basket, our dr...

TITLE Discussing the consequence of othering stemming from  Literary identities  and  Stereotypes prevalent in  the victorian fin de siecle Great Expectations, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Victorian fin de Siècle: Discussing Othering stemming from stereotypes of degeneration. INTRODUCTION Othering is a large contributor to prejudices against identified groups. When expanded, it catalyses large scale dehumanization ranging to acts of violence against others (Cherry 2020). While there are a plethora of categories under othering such as religion, ethnicity, gender, and class, the foregrounded kind of othering in the fin de Siècle draws from what Victorians call 'degenerative traits'. This essay aims to unpack how Victorian literature echoes its society’s perception of Morel’s degeneration theory (1857) and its biological characteristics, whilst exploring its justifications within frameworks of the Victorian mindset. These ideas will mainly be drawn in context to excerpts ...

 Seeing the world through attachments. There are no true images possible to be seen—they are too unreliable, too broad, too vast to comprehend in all the variations and forms they take. I only see solace in words and their denotative meaning. This lamp on the street has a visual base with hundreds of blocks spelling "l-a-m-p" holding up its form, embellished and glued together with its descriptors—I see "r-u-s-t" interspersed throughout its entire frame, I see "b-a-s-e" where it meets the "f-l-o-o-r", which pulses between states of "p-a-v-e-m-e-n-t" and if you look closer, "t-i-l-e", with a blob of what looks like "c-h-e-w-i-n-g-g-u-m" covered in "d-r-y", and "c-r-u-s-t", for some reason.

  Module: Literary Linguistics Module Code: ENGL 2034 Module Convener: Andrine Ong Theng Theng Word count:  TITLE  Cohesion and incoherence via external deviation in Susie Asado by Gertrude Stein. INTRODUCION AND AIMS This stylistic analysis on Gertrude Stein’s poem ‘Susie Asado’ (1913) delves into its linguistically deviant textual forms while unpacking how they can be described as a trip into the domain of cohesive but incoherent literature in the linguistic sense. Subsequently, we explore how the lack of conventional coherence foregrounds the poem’s strong sonic imagery through cohesive devices such as repetition and reference. By the end of the essay, it will be shown that the cohesion of foregrounded features (cite) in Stein’s poem prompts and even forces readers to re-evaluate and repurpose their understanding regarding the denotative sense of words (Mugair et al., 2018).  BACKGROUND As Gertrude Stein was a major proponent and patron of the Modernist art moveme...
