  This week I read The Shrouded Woman. The article begins with the perspective of a woman after her death. The narrator himself observes different reactions of people around her after her death and recalls the memories of her life. This part is composed. This kind of perspective of keeping one's acquaintances in the corpse is exciting, watching their attitude towards their own death, recalling their characters and making comments on the whole, giving people a sense of sobriety and rationality, as we all know, only we are not involved events, we can make an objective evaluation of them. And the death of the protagonist just happened to put her in this state. Nothing can highlight the existence of consciousness itself more than consciousness after death. In the beginning, when the protagonist observes the environment with ideology, he is pulled away from reality. He becomes a bystander to himself, and when she begins to recall consciousness, It is like being re-immersed in the envir...

 This week I read Parispeasant by Louis Aragon, and here are some of my readings. The author begins with his reflections on philosophical theories' development and then returns to himself. The errors and sophistry of the philosophical development put forward by the author of the first part made it difficult for me to understand what the author was trying to express (probably because English is not a native language). And the descriptions of the weather and climate that followed turned out to be something I felt relatively better understood. The author sees that anything material is connected to emotional thinking while at the same time relying on rational insights to correct mistakes and find the way to truth. This mixed life of rationality and sensibility has a more psychedelic colour. The combination of reality and illusion makes the author's existence blurred, leaving only a thinking person who is good at thinking. Consciousness. The author tries to get out of this life but ...

When reading the "combray" part, I clearly understood the author's unique writing style and thus recorded some of my insights into the author's articles. The author takes his thoughts as the central point and combines his feelings and vague associations when he is not awake with reality. There are many memories and feelings of his life in different places in the past in the vast space. Still, when the fragments of these memories come to an end, it is found that the author's body is still fixed, a small space constructed by a bed middle. The author's range of physical activity is not extensive, but the divergence of thought is extensive. The author's recollections contain many metaphors, which vividly describe his mood in the environment at that time. When the fragments of the recollection make the author feel unhappy, the metaphors used are primarily negative, distorted and oppressive. And when pieces of memory are nostalgic, the metaphors become open, bri...

Hello everyone! My name is Li Xiang, a freshman in the arts department, planning to major in economics and minor in psychology. But to be honest, I prefer art and the prosperous emotional relationship between people. In gradually studying economics, I found that this subject slowly made me feel bored and cold, so excluding the reality factor, I will May change my professional plan in the future. Before I took the first class, I just had an elementary understanding of this course. I chose this course just because it just met the professional needs and the course introduction looked good. Still, I didn't expect the course format to read and blog constantly. It's a novel experience for me, and I will do my best to run my first blog account. After watching the first lecture video, I briefly understood the course objectives and basic course introduction. I gained the first concept worth thinking about in the course: "Romance Studies belongs nowhere." I like reading books o...
