Our next class was held on 21st of April 2015, madam Rozina had make a quick view on Concordancer . Before she started a new lesson, she was also reminded the students about the weekly reflections that we need to complete as soon as possible. The day for presentation to take place was too near and all the reflections must be completed during the time given. So basically the nature of the computational stylistics that we have learnt during the last class was to highlight the style of the text and and to deliver the message to people. We can also engage this stylistic study by looking into non-literary text. For example, by referring to the theory of transcendentalism which emphasizes on Self-Reliance written by Emerson, we have to look at all of his works that governed by him. Sometimes the computational stylistics was functioned as something to convey meaning such a foregrounding of poems from various poets that the students need to understand literary.
Under this topic also we were looking at
the biggest corpus and bringing computer technology into analysis. Let say we
do ask ourselves on what can we do based on the theories that has been exposed
in our subjects that we have taken within our period of study.
Questions:
Based
on the analysis that you have done in Literature class, did you make a
conclusion on that particular author?
a) We had made an analysis on the writer called DH Lawrence. Most of his works
are associated with pornography themes. His works later had been supported by
other authors of literature and they often regarded his findings as freedom of
speech.
How
do you think that what you have done in literature class be beneficial to us
today?
a) Yes. This is because the lecturer will somehow relates and includes the
Islamic Perspectives in their lecture to enhance their comprehension so that
they will not go astray from the right path.
b) At the same time, the lecturer also responsible for Islamicizing the content
of the lesson during the class so that the students will grasp the gist of the
learning.
c) In addition to that, we can deliberately expressed our thoughts, feelings
and viewpoints through literature context rather than we do the irrelevant
things.
d) It can be not beneficial if we tend to be influenced from the bad parts of
literature. For example, the DH Lawrence’s works that we have explained just now.
So we cannot totally rely on his materials because it contained a lot of
pornography elements in it. Therefore, we as a students of English Literature
and Linguistics we would not benefit from these kind of literature even though
we had been exposed to it for all this while.
How can you bring grounded
all those findings and knowledge for the need of the society?
a) We can produce our own Islamic Literature and indirectly our
generation will benefit from it rather than they rely on Western’s work.
b) For example, Literary criticism, The lecturer showed the picture of two
different authors for instance, Shakespeare and Usman Awang. Students could
recognized the first picture which was the picture of Shakespeare. However, they
could not recognize the picture of Usman Awang.
On 24th of April 2015, we had been briefing on the
lists of the groups that will present their blogs first. The rubrics of how the
marks will be given were meticulously explained by madam Rozina on that day.
Meanwhile, she also highlighted to us that for CMC, we must give the gist of it
and every groups must be focus on the power points presentations. All the
groupings’ blog have been checked by madam Rozina and she reminded us to post
our philosophy about 400 to 500 words in the blogs. The group that will go first
on Tuesday nextweek was Ashraf’s group. Finally, we got to add one more major
reflection on our blogspot.
