IDENTITY AND ENERGY IN POETRY TINY HOUSE. TELL ME A SECRET.

Castro, Chance D, Jr 01 June 2015 (has links)
Tiny House. Tell Me a Secret. is a poetry manuscript that deals with establishing identity based on the relationships one is involved in, the loss of someone significant, and then coping with that loss. In the book, the speaker who grows up in the care of women becomes sensitive to their pains and questions the necessity of the overt ideas of machismo in his culture and deliberately cultivates chivalry in his romantic relationship as a result. The speaker loses his wife early in their marriage and must cope with her death while continuing to re-learn/establish the identity that she played such a large part in shaping. The poems attempt to clarify identity and heighten poetic energy in the poetic forms of free verse and prose poetry. I hope my collection embodies multiple representations of manhood as macho, tender, and everything in between. The collection attempts a complex identification with multiple types of identities. For me, the reality of identities is in their fluidity. The speakers of my poems ultimately find themselves at ease in their roles and in their understanding of others’ roles and lives beyond their own. My speakers do not yearn to just be one identity, however fully. Instead, each man can easily exist in the world as both an adult and still very much the child of his father; the lover of grand romantic gestures and still the loner of deep self-intimacy. While the collection as a whole destabilizes accepted notions of patriarchy, it also, I hope, provides a stable level at which we can understand the speaker of the entire manuscript.

Kagans modala personism - En kritik

Jändel-Holst, Billy January 2020 (has links)
Shelly Kagan argumenterar i sin bok How to count animals, more or less (2019) för att vi kan rangordna djur och människor hierarkiskt efter moralisk status. Han hävdar att vi människor har högre moralisk status än alla djur eftersom vi har mer utvecklade kognitiva kapaciteter än djur och det är just de kognitiva kapaciteterna som är relevanta för moralisk status. Men eftersom dessa kapaciteter kommer i grader hos människor, där vissa människor kan ha så låg grad av dessa kapaciteter att de hamnar på samma nivå som vissa djurs, så skulle detta kunna implicera att dessa människor har samma moraliska status som dessa djur. Kagan menar att detta är kontraintuitivt och argumenterar för att potential till att bli en person och tidigare potential till att bli en person kan höja en människas moraliska status. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida Kagans argument för denna teori om tidigare potential, som han kallar modal personism, är hållbara. Jag argumenterar för att Kagans förslag har vissa styrkor men att bristen på motivation om varför tidigare potential skulle vara relevant för en individs moraliska status gör teorin öppen för invändningar och kontraintuitiva implikationer.
