Barnett Newman Video Essay
Переглядів 6121 годину тому
This is a video essay that I made as an example for my AP English Language students, who are required to analyze visuals on their exam for college credit. #BarnettNewman is my favorite artist, so I chose him. Plus, I didn't think he would appeal to any of my students, so I wasn't stealing someone they would want to study. #Newman #abstractexpressionism

    You did not like the book because he challenges the false narrative you have been fed. No respectable historian refers to the period as "Dark Ages," which is the clearest evidence that you are stuck in the false narrative. You also want to diminish the point that slavery was practiced by ALL nations, as was war and imperialism. He quotes many, many eminent historians and sociologists, so you can't complain that his data and ideas are fringe. You criticize his data without counter data and misunderstand his points. He never says Christianity is better. He gives credit to Christianity as one of several factors (others include disruption of Empires, Roman and Carolingen; influence of Germanic region). His main point is that democracy, capitalism, ending slavery, science all happened at a particular time, in a particular place and those blessings and hallmarks of modernity evolved, not by brilliant Enlightenmwnt thinkers, but was a natural progression from the previous 1000 years, not "dark," but rich in technological, philosophical, and economic innovation.

    The movie has nothing on the book. It tells a completely different story, a simplified one, having completely stripped off all the heavy themes and elements of the book.

Like the relationship between the protagonist and her husband you mentioned - the books deal with introvertism, refusal to be changed by other people, realisation of errors that could've been amended but now it's too late, and her final quest to find out what happened to her likely dead (or rather, not-alive-as-we-know-it) husband. The film is just Hollywood love drama tropes with a cliche cliffhanger ending.

      @@JoeyP946but then there would be no difference between you and my lampshade: you both lack belief in God. My lampshade isn’t taking part in online discussions on the topic, or reading books on the subject. I’d be highly suspicious that it has more than a ‘lack of belief,’ if it was commenting on atheist reading material. You won’t find “lack of belief” argued in any serious discussion on the topic because both sides understand it is merely an empty semantic gesture. Ricky Gervais might trot that line out, but no philosophers on the subject would do so. Now, if I asked my lampshade to affirm or deny the proposition, “the Christian God exists,” it wouldn’t be able to respond, because it lacks the ability to think and form opinions on topics. You, however, can say, ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ or ‘I don’t know.’ If you say yes, you are a theist, if you say no, you are an atheist. If you say, I don’t know, you are an agnostic. Richard Dawkins says, “There is almost certainly no God.” He didn’t say, “my lack of belief explains there is no God.” Atheists are waaaay more active in this debate to simply ‘lack belief.’

The allmighty flying invisible spaghetti monster is an often used example What do motivations and actions of people who say they are an atheist have to do with the definition of the word atheist? Pick up a dictionary and read what it says. Atheist debaters often say their positions, Hitchens said he was an Anti theist and a humanist. Each atheist has their own 20 descriptions for the things that they believe and accept, which is completely separate from the fact that they lack a belief in God. My thoughts on the big bang have nothing to do with me not believing the bible. My thoughts on evolution have nothing to do with not believing the bible. My thoughts on morals or free will or objective truth have nothing to do with not believing. Some atheists debate their position from a biological point of view, some are astronomers, or physicists, or historians, each with their own reasons and perspective on why they don't believe in God.

    Einstein was NOT an atheist; this is canard regularly spread by atheists. In fact, and on the contrary, he absolutely loathed being associated with them. Read 'Einstein on Religion' by his friend Max Jammer wherein the great man reveals himself as a deist. Other notable figures from the history of science who were also NOT of the Dawkins cohort: Newton (yes, really ), Darwin (ditto), Max Planck, and Erwin Schrodinger, Fred Hoyle, and Freeman Dyson, who described himself as a "non-denominational Christian". Indeed there are many notable figures in science who are avowed people of faith, not least Francis Collins and John Lennox.

When I googled it I found this: 'Grandin advocates for eugenics of whom she calls “low functioning” autistic people: “In an ideal world the scientist should find a method to prevent the most severe forms of autism but allow the milder forms to survive.”' Yikes!

    I've read an early review copy of this book from NetGalley (a review website) and it's really amazing how the author doesn't give up facing bullying, being misunderstood, criticized by teachers, or even her own mother not coping with her daughter's diagnosis. She's so positive and persistent despite all odds.

    her book was already on my tbr list, but seeing this makes me wanna move it to the top now haha. im autistic and paige layle is one of the best autistic creators out there! i dont know if you take recommendations, but i would like to name drop chloe hayden's book "different, not less" which is also a great read about this topic. and in case you're interested in understanding trans experiences, since you mentioned wanting to understand all your students better, i wanna say jamie raines has a fantastic book called "the t in lgbt". happy reading :D

      He has adrenal gland issues, and we think he's autistic. He shows all the signs. He's the sweetest boy.

    I am reading it now. When you said that you were listening to an audiobook, I immediately thought “ I can’t imagine how that would go with the narrative jumps”. But yes, I agree it is excellent Atwood. What did you think of “Cats Eye”? I enjoyed that one too.

      Cat's Eye was my introduction to Margaret Atwood. I read it in college and absolutely loved it.

    Read this about ten years ago. Great book, but like you said, its a little deep towards the end. If I was to ever read it again I'm sure Id pick up on more of the information

    Great book. He basically confirmed what I had figured out during my life. God did not create us, but we created God. It is in a way a depressive thought because you realise that we have had so much misery as a result of religion and totally unnecessary.

    The delusion is there is no GOD! God is real, God is active, and God is more relevant then in any other day! Small and large atomic attraction, where does the energy come from to hold your atoms together? Where does the information come from that is encoded in your cells? What instructs a ribosome to put together strings of RNA to make DNA? The Lord God is coming again soon! This time will be about paying the price of denial! Are you ready? Are you born again in Christ Jesus? I urge you to repent and be saved by the ONLY SOURCE OF LOVE, and POWER, Yeshua Adonai Ha-mashiach! Jesus Christ the Lord!

    It’s definitely a wonderful book! I’d say it’s the first book that gets you thinking. I’d recommend reading “Why We Believe In Gods” it’s a great book that goes in the evolutionary reasons for belief.
