beccaelizabethHave finished reading the book about A Doll's House.
Can see why it is on the reading list in bold.
Lots of big thinking.
I want to go back and copy out a bunch of bits.
Or possibly buy me a copy so I can highlight.
I already have a half a dozen books I haven't read that I still need to read. Buying one I have read seems... well, expensive. *sigh*
But my copy of the play now has notes all over it, in pretty much every colour I have except silver and white.
The last chapter was about the impact of the play. Apparently it pissed off a lot of people, so they went and wrote their own versions and changed the ending and stuff.
Yup, fanfic been in textbooks for a while now.
Was thinking, that bit in Interview with a Vampire where she's all "You dress me like a doll", would that be a reference? Probably. But with layers of literal.
I feel a bit like my brain ate too much too fast.
Bits of thought are kind of sloshing around trying to get room to happen in.
Learned a bunch of words. Well, sort of learned. Proxemics and kinesetics and mimicry and suchlike. Words for how/where people stand, how they move, what their face is doing.
Words are useful.
There's a thing though with other words I know already - mimesis and diegesis are showing and telling, right? But if it is about sound then diegetic sound is sound that is heard by the characters too and non-diegetic sound is sound only the audience hears. What up with that?
*pokes wiki*
According to Gerald Prince in A Dictionary of Narratology, diegesis is "(1) The (fictional) world in which the situations and events narrated occur; (2) Telling, recounting, as opposed to showing, enacting."
Right then... diegesis is telling so the world it is telling is the diegesis?
So diegetic sounds are sounds in the world.
*still vaguely puzzled*
How come they can invent so many words and yet still have words with bunches of different meanings? Why not nice tidy words?
*sulk*
Anyways, progress is being made.
I'll probably watch some TV now. Supernatural, I've got a couple of episodes of that DLed. Or Stargate, where I haven't DLed any from the current season due to a half season backlog.
It isn't that I stopped liking it, just I seem to have stopped watching TV.
... Okay, that's only half true. More true would be 'I watch Torchwood about half a dozen times a week so that kind of eats five slots that might otherwise have different shows in them'. Also 'I watch Robin Hood and that eats a slot', which makes me realise I really just need to watch DVDs at that time instead.
LJ keeps giving me weird error messages when I try and post stuff. But that puts me on the page where I can change my icon, so there's a lot more visual variety lately.
