Reflection of Toni Morrison’s Short Story

/in /by

Answer the following questions:
1.) With Twyla and Roberta we have one Afro-American character and one Caucasian-American

character, but
which character is which? And, how did you arrive at your decision? What is your evidence?
2.) Why does Twyla stay at the demonstration, carrying her sign, even when the disorder of the group has
made her own placard meaningless?
3) Why does the story continually return to references to the orchard and to Maggie? What is significant in
these continual references? What are we to make of the confusion Twyla experiences in her memories of

these things?Roberta tells Twyla one version of those events she but later she questions her memories and doubts her own story. What’s going on here?
4) How is the title of connected to the theme of the story and to question number three? “Recitatif.”

According to The American Heritage College Dictionary means “recitation” in other words “tell the story again”

Other definitions include:
The public reading aloud of something or reciting of something from memory, esp. poetry.
The listing or reporting of something.
Of, or relating to, or having the character of a recital or recitation.
Mus. – a vocal style in which a text is declaimed in the rhythm of natural speech with slight melodic

variation.

Communication and Power in Canada

/in /by

Answer all ten of the following questions, and follow the submission instructions below:
Barney identifies three criteria for his assessment of communication technology in a democratic context

in Canada, or what he calls the “Canadian Democratic Audit.” What are they, and what does each

criterion mean?
Barney suggests that “technology is irreducibly political.” What does this mean?
Barney argues that “design” is key to understanding the relationship between politics and

communications technologies. What does this mean?
Barney describes a complex relationship between ICTs and politics in Canada in that ICTs provide crucial

infrastructure for political activities, and they play an increasingly central role in our day-to-day lives.

What are the political implications of this?
Carah and Louw refer to Italian scholar Antonio Gramsci and his definition of hegemony. What is it? How

is communication significant in the formation and maintenance of hegemony?
What is a naturalized discourse? Explain the concept in detail, and offer a Canadian example; for

instance, it might be suggested that Canadians believe that our involvement in military actions outside of

Canada are focused on peacekeeping, and thus public support for military interventions is tied to a

naturalized sense that Canada’s military is used to help people rather than for territorial expansion,

defending borders and markets, killing enemies, and so on.
Carah and Louw say “identity is never accomplished.” What does this mean?
What problems are associated cultural imperialism? Would it matter, for example, if all cultural texts in

Canada were made in the US? Why or why not?
Identify and briefly describe at least five reasons why the “ideological square” exists in terms of racialized

identities.
Carah and Louw identify four ways gay and lesbian communities use communications to challenge

negative representations and identities in the media. What are they?

Specifics (Thresholds)
Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes three and four should be addressed in this presentation. Therefore, you must develop a piece of work that draws upon academic literature relevant to the development of others in professional practice, such as mentoring, leadership theory, change management and action learning sets.
Threshold Expectation (To Pass)
To pass this presentation students will engage with academic literature, including current research, demonstrating a broad understanding of professional development practices. Personal reflections will be critically analysed with reference to academic literature making connections between known and unknown areas in relation to professional development, to allow for adaptation and change. Solutions and ideas for future practice will relate to theory. Indications of work at this level are that students will not read from a script (although may refer to notes or prompts), some minor issues with coherence and fluency may exist during the presentation. Response to questions will demonstrate an understanding of the issues raised yet may lack innovation in the solutions suggested.
To Achieve Excellence
To achieve excellence in this presentation, students will engage with an extensive range of academic sources beyond the module reading list and including current research, demonstrating a detailed understanding of professional development practices. Personal reflections will be insightful and critically analysed with reference to academic literature making connections between known and unknown areas in relation to professional development, to allow for adaptation and change. Ideas for future practice will be synthesised from the analysis of theory and practice and offer innovative solutions to existing issues in professional practice. Indications of work at this level are that students will not read from a script (although may refer to notes or prompts) and will deliver a coherent, fluent and informed account. Responses to questions will be insightful and suggest innovative solutions to issues raised.
