Week 6 Q’s
/ notes
metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to
which it is not literally applicable; a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something
else, especially something abstract
anaphora - repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby
lending them emphasis; in this case, also emphasizing differences across the neighboring
clauses by juxtaposition through repetition
resistance to grammar and style conventions - related to the content of her work, namely
articulating the fracturing and unintelligibility of Native experiences, cultures, and memories.
Harjo's resistance to English language conventions is connected to a broader commitment
among activists, writers, artists, scholars, teachers, ritualists, and communities to decolonize
language, lands, memories, cultures, the list goes on. Decolonizing means both embracing and
resisting the dominant culture, retrieving and co-creating what was lost, being honest about
surplus suffering, and deploying various strategies - art, storytelling, organizing, education,
healing - to dismantle social relationships that depend on inequitable power distribution and
exploitation.
Related to the last two, what we might call personification if we are using conventional literary
terminology, in Harjo's work we might call animism, the recognition of distinct spiritual essences
and/or sentience in objects, places, creatures, and natural phenomena. The view that all
things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even
words—are awake and alive is characteristic of many Native lifeways and cultures. This view
challenges colonizing demarcations and hierarchies of value between people and nature, for
example, or civilization and the wilderness.

a child through her encounter with _______________________.

Week 7 Quiz Soundsuits
What was the first one made out of and why did Nick Cave make it?
-
The first soundsuit was made out of twigs. He started making the soundsuits because of
gun violence and and racism in this country. The soundsuit masks the gender, race and
class of the individual behind the sount suit.
What does he mean when he says he became an artist with a conscience?
-
That incident was so profound in terms of how it made me feel. I felt that I needed to do
something, as a Black male living in this country. That’s when I knew that there was a
shift in my purpose. [The beating was a sign] for me to take responsibility. From that
moment, I became an artist with a conscience. I am an artist with a civic responsibility. I
[am invigorated] by dealing with these really hard issues around race and gun violence.
There’s an urgency I feel, as an artist, as an African American man, as a citizen of the
United States, and as a resident of Chicago. The Rodney King beating put me in the
position to be the voice of the innocent. Lives matter, not just Black lives. All lives matter.

https://www.worldhistory.org/Four_Noble_Truths/
The Four Noble Truths are:
Life is suffering
The cause of suffering is craving
The end of suffering comes with an end to craving
There is a path which leads one away from craving and suffering
The four truths are called “noble” from the original arya meaning the same but also “worthy of
respect” and suggesting “worth heeding”. The path alluded to in the fourth of the truths is The
Eightfold Path which serves as a guide to live one's life without the kind of attachment that
guarantees suffering:
Right View
Right Intention
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Mindfulness
Right Concentration
Truth 1
The first truth is known as
duhkha,
meaning "suffering". Life is suffering and will remain so as
long as one refuses to recognize its true nature. People understood that they suffered, of
course, but believed this was an unavoidable aspect of living. Buddha explained that it was not
but arose from the skandhas (Sanskrit for "heaps" or "aggregates") which he identified as "the
five aggregates of attachment" and further as "the five aggregates of suffering". These are:
Rūpa – form, material impression
Vedanā – sensations produced by form, one’s feelings
Samjñā – perceptions derived from form
Sańkhāra – psychological activity in response to form
Vijñāna – one’s consciousness shaped by psychological activity
Truth 2
The second truth is
samudaya,
meaning
"origination"
, and addresses the cause of suffering.
The cause of suffering is the craving for permanence in an impermanent world. Believing one is
a permanent entity, one constructs a false world of illusion which, because it is not real, cannot
satisfy and leads to continual pain and disappointment. Buddha defines this craving as a
passionate desire for things one cannot have
Truth 3
The third truth is
nirodha meaning "cessation"
. In order to stop craving, one must understand
what one is actually craving and recognize that the illusion of permanence cannot satisfy one’s
needs. The end of suffering comes with an end to craving when one realizes that what one is
craving is true reality, not illusions of reality. Buddha encourages an abrupt stop to the craving
behavior along the lines of abandoning a bad habit:
Truth 4
The fourth truth is
marga, meaning "the path",
by which Buddha means his "middle way" in
navigating life. He begins by simply stating that there is a path which leads one away from
craving and suffering and then explains what that path is:
