language
used

language
is
received
.

Feminist
critics

Jane
Augustine
introduces
herself
; her
specialties
and her
interests
,
including
modern
French
Feminist
Criticism
.
Talks
briefly
about
Freud
and the
social/philosophical/psychological
implications
of
viewing
women
as
lacking
something
.
3:40
Fundamental
form
we
first
encounter
in
our
experience
is
the
form
of
body
,
whether
it
is
female
or
male
.
Root
of
thinking
and
socialization
process
is
based
on
our
bodies
and from that a
whole
collection
of
social
ideas
form
.
Freud’s
idea
that
having
a
penis
makes
one
privileged
.
We
are
born
in
highly
genderized
situation
which
is
controlling
people
in
profound
ways
.
6:20
Places
us in a
skewed
language
situation
.
Male
privilege
in
relation
to
language
. There
is
a
sense
that what
women
say
or
do
is
not
quite
as
important
.
8:48

Cixous
and
Luce
Irigaray

Imbalance

literary
world

13:50
The
touchy
subject
of
women’s
sexuality
.
Men
are also
told
what they
may
or
may
not
do
in
regards
to
emotion
and
introspection
. These
expectations
interfere
with
actual
experience
.
15:40
Augustine

introduce
class

different
ways
to
break
down
the
gender
barriers
in
relation

“Form
follows
function,”
a
statement
from the
architect
Frank
Lloyd
Wright

Form
=
words
.
Function
=
content/thought
.
Relationship
to
writing
.
20:35
The
starting
point
is
the
form
of
our
body
.
People
often
confuse
the
form
for the
content
, the
symbol
for the
reality
.
Three
separate
realms
of
experience
:
body/speech/mind
.
23:35
Talks
about
French
poet
Francis
Ponge
and his
poem
“The
Carnation.”
He
is
concerned
about
the
physicality
of
‘things.’
Correlation
to
Trungpa’s
quote
“Things
are
symbolic
of
themselves.”
33:31
Poetry
is
not
different
from
science
according
to
Ponge
. In
order
to
find
new
forms
you
need
to
look
in
new
places
,
particularly
places
you
think
are
unpoetic
.
37:28
One
of the
functions
of
poetry
:
it
takes
you
out
of
yourself
,
places
ego
behind
you
.

“The
Carnation.”
Discusses
the
offhand
,
understated
tone
of this
writing
.
49:00
Student
asks
a
questions
,
“If
objects
and
words
are
separate
isn’t
it
futile
to
try
to
language
the
objective
world?”
Augustine
responds
,
bringing
in
more
Buddhist
philosophy
.
Ties
in to
preconceptions
about
gender
roles
.
