“11.17.19″

So normally I do a journal the next day after each class. But this time we’ve actually had another class and I still haven’t journaled. So disclaimer, this journal is going to be even more off topic than usual.

I guess I just don’t have a lot of thoughts about Alexander the Great. Which is ridiculous, because isn’t he someone you should have a lot of thoughts about?

Also I’ve been behind on the readings. Is this bad to admit in a journal I submit for grading? Oh, totally. But I’m just exhausted. I don’t know why. My course load isn’t easy per se but it’s not the most hectic. I’m just exhausted and want to see my family.

This Novemeber I’ve been doing NaNoWriMo, where the aim is to write a 50,000 word novel. There’s a lot of detractors who argue why this is stupid, I don’t care. I’m doing it and I’m about 30,000 words in, right on pace, and having a grand ol’ time. I’ve participated about ~5 times in the past (maybe more) and this is the farthest I’ve ever gotten.

Now, to go with this, there’s a forum where people can post. And on that forum, I came across this post (https://forums.nanowrimo.org/t/1-million-words-v-1-brain-tumor/123861) which is about a man who has a brain tumor (he’s named Ollie) that over time will “take away [his] ability to speak – and to write – then ultimately kills [him].” His goal is to write 100,000 words (which he already hit) instead of 50,000 this month and write 12 books, totaling a million words, in 12 months.

1,000,000,000

I’ve written 30,000 this month, for a total of 120,000 in 2019.

I’m not saying this to compare, like “oh he’s so much more prolific than I am.” I don’t even know what the point of this post is despite how clear it seemed. I’ve just been thinking about that. How desperately that this person is writing before they permanently lose a part of them self and they’re on a deadline ticking away.

Honestly, when I tried to think of the Alexander the Great of “our” age, this was all I could think of. I don’t think a conqueror will ever be seen in such a positive light again, so there must be another translation. I don’t even want to spin it into something inspiring because this doesn’t inspire me. A million words. And that’ll be it.

Although studying theory might seem to be an effort separate from practice (e.g., professional activities), good theories emerge from assessing practice. Accordingly, theories can possess some usefulness in prescribing positive actions for leaders and organizations.

Art, Culture, and Society discussion #3

Personally, I believe that accessibility is entirely necessary for artwork to be successful or relevant. Quite a lot of artwork reflects on our society, our reality, and uses the experience of the “common man” for reference. In my opinion, the minute an artist references mass culture or mass experience in their artwork but refuses to make their work at least visually accessible to the public, their work becomes exploitative. Once a piece is exploitative, any emotional reaction it is trying to invoke in its viewers goes stale.

At first, print media was an excellent way to massively increase the accessibility of art. Throughout history, even back to the invention and introduction of printing press, cataloged printing was used to get information out to people. In terms of art, distribution of weekly art magazines, articles in the arts and leisure section of daily newspapers, and press kits helped get the word out about current shows and happenings in the art world internationally. In terms of famous, historic artworks, books and archives were distributed to individuals at bookstores and the general public in libraries. I, personally, have only seen some of the world’s most famous painting by viewing them in books so I know how impactful print distribution can be for art.

However, print might not be the absolute most accessible option anymore. Holding subscriptions for many different circulations can become pricy and certain pieces of art can only be found in specified books, which can be quite a lot to purchase just for the occasional, casual viewing. More and more, people are becoming interested in researching and referencing their art online, either through blogs or just surfing google images or online pages of print newspapers. There is real benefit in this—with this method there are a million different ways to cheaply and consistently be kept up with the goings on of the art world. Truly anybody can access different archives of work or editorial pieces.

This convenience, however, comes at a real price to the artists. Often, the grandeur of a piece of art gets totally lost online. People become lazy about maintaining the dignity and impact of an art piece, dwarfing large and expansive installations but looking at them on a small mobile screen. The casualness of online media often results in people skimming over important artist statements or sometimes even artist names. On social media platforms that usually rely on concise content, sometimes images of art will go hugely viral without the artist even having their name attached to their work. IT becomes almost impossible for a artist to gain recognition and notoriety when their work is circulating without any credit to them attached. So while the work becomes more accessible, it also lacks some respect for the artist’s integrity.

Congratulations! You’re a professor that has just been hired by a university to teach a course on Harry Potter, and you have free reign on the material you want to teach. Since everything is up to you, how would you teach your material? Would you require the books to be used as textbooks? What would you title the course? Is the class’s content general knowledge and information? Or is it something more specific: does it focus on analysis, symbolism, or make connections to religion? How would you keep the material fresh and interesting for the students enrolled? Other than lessons of the wizarding world, what real life applications could come from your course? And what would your final exam consist of?

Way back when I started Uni, I was a film major (and when I transfer I plan to try and keep it as a minor), so I think I'd take the approach of comparing the books to the films. The books would be mandatory reading, as well as some books on cinematography and readings about the different directors.

The reason I'd want to compare it is the films is that they differ greatly. There are many aspects I really wish were in the films that just didn't make it. Comparing them, there are certainly scenes I would have liked that just wouldn't have been able to make the cut because they were lengthy and didn't add too much to the basis of the story that the directors wanted to tell. There was also some issues with starting the movies before the series was even done, which now isn't an issue.

Another thing comparing them and analyzing does is that you can pick out what people find are the most valuable aspects of the books, and that differs from what was portrayed in film. The romances were played up a lot, and there are many problems with hacking at characters while perfecting others. Who the directors were can play into this a great deal, which would also be something to go into further. How the different directors styles and emphasized motifs and content change.

The different mediums also are very notable. With the books, assuming you haven't been influenced by the movies, you picture everything yourself taking things from your own life to shape and contextualize the books. The movies you are getting someone else's view into this world that can differ very much. Cinematography certainly got more impressive as the films went, going beyond just world building.

A benefit of the films is that there are scenes added that help with the flow of the books. We are largely following Harry, occasionally going to other characters if they are really relevant. In the films, you can add scenes with the Ministry and Hermione leaving her family that help explain and emote scenes that were only mentioned in passing if at all in the books. However, and I'm using my parents for reference, this didn't do too much in helping with the continuity of the films in terms of making the story make sense when you had not read the books. While people who have read the books can make the connecting easily and without really thinking too much on it, people who have not can just get lost in the movies and not follow the importance of interactions or the context. Films are generally supposed to present the material in another medium so more people can access the same content, but there are issues with it when so much of relevant story is cut.

With it being a comparison of the mediums, there'd also be the question of if turning them into movies was the best route. I'm a firm believer that book adaptations should be tv shows rather than movies. There is just so much content being left out (and even in books adapted to tv shows there is still so much left out), but you have the ability to bring the focus to more characters and subplots or even just the main plot. Depending on how long the season is, it could be a 12 hours production for one books like how Game of Thrones tends to be done, or nearly 18 hours if it were made into a 24 episode, 42 minute season. This gives you the flexibility and ability to hash out characters much better. Like, Marauders and Founders, and Order of the Phoenix Eras could all have at least on episode each, Marauders especially having a few here and there as they come up a lot.

discussion 3!

I would title my course Harry Potter in the Muggle World. While I would use the seven books as textbooks for the class, I would do my best to avoid turning it into a literature class. Instead, I would have lessons remain focused on practical applications, primarily the lessons that can be learned from the series. These would include, but are not limited to, the loyalty of the trio, the determination of Hermione (and a Ravenclaw) and the kindness of a Hufflepuff.

On the first day of the course, students would take a quiz that would sort them into their House for the term. While overall grades would be determined by the work of the individual student, Houses would serve as a team environment in which students could earn extra credit. After sorting, students would receive a syllabus that would outline the different topics covered in the class. Extra credit could be earned by finding other life lessons within the series (and providing textual examples) not already listed in the course outline.

Because of the nature of the lessons, the course would be more discussion-based than lecture-based. House Points (extra credit) would be awarded for participation during class time. Participation would include linking lessons to characters outside of what is expected, discussing practical applications for the traits studied, and the overall ability of the student to relate the Wizarding world to the Muggle world in a seamless way.

The final exam would consist of a portfolio of sorts. Students would be expected to create a portfolio demonstrating ways in which they (or others around them) demonstrated the lessons taught throughout the course. The overall purpose of this would be to show students how much the Wizarding world and the Muggle world truly overlap.
