Summary Characterisation Techniques
telling names Dolores Haze (Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov) Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) Benvolio (Romeo and Juliet)
identity • constructed • performed • relational • mediated by gender, class, race, ability etc. • essentialist and non-essentialist perspectives
essentialism -some essence in that person that is natural and given eg.: gender is sth of your essence (it is given) eg. when people say that Boy’s don’t cry because their men and it’s not in their nature, etc (essentialist perspective) -looking how a culture creates notions of gender
'Race', Racism and representation (non-essentialist perspective) -one human race -non-essentialist perspective: ‘race’ as a cultural and historical category ≠ fixed or natural -“a way of making difference signify between people of a variety of skin tones [...] Difference exists whether it is made to signify or not. But how it is made to signify is always a result of politics and power, rather than a question of biology. ” (e.g. We all have different ear sizes or types of nails, however how they are made to (not) signify/mea9n something is significant. (for us it doesn't mean) if it means sth, it is in relation with power
Articulation Cultural texts do not mean by themselves. They have to be articulated (made to mean in contexts). double meaning of articulation: 1.) to utter, to speak 2.) a truck/lorry, that has some kind of linkage that can be broken
example of articulation with pictures
