Corregidora

Comparison to Lolita

In Lolita it is dressed up. The flowery language. From the attacker’s perspective.

Corregidora – All dialog, almost no description. Short and punctuated. Fast paced. Repetition of “I still wanna fuck you.” Preformative language.

The comparison between dialog and description. Dialog seems to be more honest, but in fact its through her memory, so it might be her speaking for him.

Roll of Euphemisms. Very prevalent in Lolita, but still present in Corregidora. Even Mutt does it: “I want to get in your ally.”

One sided conversation is a dialogic equivalent of rape.

Often times when she speaks it isn’t in quotes, but rather her telling us she said it.

What gives language its vulgarity? the word choice or the persistence? Parallel structure of “Pussy” and “Prosperous”

Tadpole and Mut are parallel characters. Alot of men start off nice, but end up bad. Mother suiter. Trope

While Ursa and Kat, say all sorts of vulgar words, homosexuality is a taboo subject.

As I Lay Dying Part 4

Writing:

Essay revolves around an argument (ie. Thesis). Before it, you stick in a hook. Don’t be too broad (only Hawking talks about the beginning of Time). Not a personal opinion. Making a case (legal).

Don’t do the whole book, just a part of it. Just pick one thing and stick to it.

Each paragraph should support your thesis. Each paragraph should also sum up into a supporting point.

Becareful with abstract pronouns. “This concept is important to…” Its completely unnecessary. We know its important.

Go through and just cross out every: is, was, to be.

Back to As I Lay Dying

Scene with the 3 black men:

Sorting out the social heirarchy: Town, Country, Blackmen

As I lay Dying Part 3

Everyone is prideful.

Anse: religious justifications. Considered lazy. Commitment to Addie. Hast. Allegory to Job (suffered the most). Apparently you can call him selfish, but you shouldn’t write about it (I don’t know how much I buy this, basically I see him as being repressed by Addie and now that she’s gone…).

Cash: percise. Thinks in power point. Records exact distance of fall.  Answers Darls thoughts (and vice versa).

Dewey Dell: She spends alot of time suspecting people. She thinks Darl knows, she suspect other people too. Refuses to bury her mom before time. Starts to go crazy. Evident by mixing of italics. On outside she seems to be observant and in control, but we see its chaos.

Darl: Prescient. Gets Verdemen.  Is he rewriting scenes as they happen?  Spends alot of time watching Jewel. What is the importance of the time he spends on the water?  They might lose the mom, so why does he care what it looks like?  He thinks this is the edge of the world.

Tull: gets the creeps with anything she can’t explain

As I lay Dying part 2

The Bundrends

Anse (dad) -> lazy, doesn’t want to sweat (Genesis 3 -> sweat is punishment for sin)

Addie (mom) -> dead
Sons:

• Cash -> broke his leg falling off the church roof
• Darl -> Nerd, slow (concern to other people)
• Jewel -> “not care-kin” (doesn’t care as much as everyone else)
• Dewey Dell (girl) -> Knocked up
• Vardamen -> Mom’s dead

Live in country on a hill (not town people).

Other Characters

• Cora + Vernon Tull
• Dr. Peabody -> fat
• Kate
• Eula -> thing for Darl
• Lafe -> Dewey Dell’s Baby daddy

Epistemology -> study of how we know what we know. Sound and Furry -> One story told again and again.

Darl wants the $3.

Cora thinks Jewel is Addie’s fav, and that he isn’t returning her affection. Maybe Darl and Addie have the closer relationship. She’s got these different opinions of Darl and Jewel from the others. She says Darl didn’t talk before leaving. Dewy Dell says Darl did (but is it non verbal communication which Dewy Dell talks about). Cora also questions if Addie is going to heaven. She has this sort of arrogance (more pious). “If other people have views of honestly (dishonest), thats ok, I’ll leave that to god.” Cora is very gossipy. Cora doubts everyone, except Darl (who in actuality is the wise fool).

Jewel thinks people are Buzzards: waiting for her to die. Cash is making a coffin, Dewy Dell is blowing too much air for her to breath. Imagines him and Addie rolling rocks down on the others (essp. Teeth).

Question of Credibility->Epistemology

Questions of Gender

Cultural and Economic Divide -> Town.

As I lay Dying Part 1

Essay due 4/16, rough draft due 4/9 (Attached: Essay Assignment)

WW1->1930s: Modernism

Cinema: The Fall of the House of Usher

• Dream imagery
• Artistic
• Psychological
• Emphasis on effects over plot

Writers: Hemingway, Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot, (Conrad), Woolf, (Chopin), F. M. Ford, Yeats, Auden, Joyce, Stein

• Psychological Struggle
• Psychoanalysis (Freud style)
• Questioning the world around
• critique of “reality” (response to ww1)
• Dialects, how to represent how people talk instead of what they’re saying (immigration)
• Idioms

The purple flower

• Questioning society (why do we keep working of working isn’t getting us anywhere) -> WW1
• Folktale/fable/allegory

Above and below the skin of civilization.  Things below mimic that which is above.  Some times people fall through.  Think of it is like conscious and subconscious of society.  Blow is dirty, bones.  Ontop is the hill (usses trying to get up to the purple flower).  Still primitive near the bottom.

Frames of Reference

Previously:  v=v’+V, r=r’+R, etc

Medium for light waves? “eather”

Interferometer: E1+E2=Etot, Intensity = |Etot|^2

Vearth=30km/s

c=3×10^8m/s

B=V/C = 10^-4

t1=2(l1/c)*(1/(1-B^2))

t2=2(l2/c)*(1/root(1-B^2))

Assuming ether at rest

(t1-t2)@theta=0 – (t1-t2)@theta=90  = B^2*(l1+l2)/c

Michaelson kept getting B=0

Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction: dx = dx/gama

gama=1/root(1-B^2)

Einstein-> 1. No such thing as absolute motion, no preferred coordinate system… its all relative

if the ether is at rest there is a preferred system.

2. All inertial observers see the same value for ‘c’

light plays by its own rules: not v=v’+V

Lorentz-Xform

r=ct and r’=ct’ then r!=r’+R

[x';y';z';ct']=L*[x;y;z;ct] where (r^2-c^2*t^2)=(r’^2-c^2*t’^2)

this is fullfilled by:

x’=gama(x-ct*v/t)

y’=y

z’=z

ct’=gama(ct-xv/c)

transform matrix [gama, 0, 0, -gamaB; 0, 1, 0, 0; 0, 0, 1, 0; -gamaB, 0, 0, gama]

Time dilation

t2-t1= gama ((t2-t1)-(x2-x1)*v/c^2))… taken from ct’=gama(ct-xv/c) -> t’=gama(t-xv/c^2)

if X2=X1

dt’=gamadt  iff |B|<1

dt’ > dt

In the same way you can do Time dilation you can also do length contraction.

Childhood Disorders

Prevalence of childhood disorders

1. Alot of Stressors
2. Highly resilient
3. One stable competant healthy adult is enough for resilience
4. Alot develope who don’t have stressors
5. Temperament -> worse temperament leads to worse environment
6. Developmental psychopathology
   1. Need to be considered within development of children
   2. Echolalia -> repeating words, normal, not a symptom

ADHD

1. Its annoying so it gets more attention (squeeky wheel)
2. Socialization/Normal development (delayed response)
3. 6 or more for 6 months
   1. Inattention -> trouble with details, or playing a game, inattentive symptoms, trouble organizing activies, loses things, easily distracted
   2. Hyperactivity -> figiting, scwerming, trouble with leasure activities, excessive talking
   3. Impulsivity -> blurting out answers, interrupting, trouble waiting your turn
4. In two or more settings
5. Three subtypes
   1. Combined -> areas go together (most common)
   2. Predominant Inattentive
   3. Predominately H-Im
6. Poor peer relationships
7. Popularity
   1. Media (actual prevelance 1-7%)
   2. Cross cultural, but US gives out the most (with other countries on the rise)
   3. Gender differences (3:1, boys)
   4. Girls tend to have inattentive subtype
   5. Comorbidity
   6. Inaddtentive more tolerated in Girls, but impulsivity tolerated less
   7. Male brains develope slower
8. Prognosis
   1. Tend to grow out of
   2. Tend to lead to antisocial, substance abuse, marital problems, legal problems, traffic tickets
9. Causal Factors
   1. Brain damage? probably not (people with tend not to have damage, and people damaged tend not to have adhd)
   2. Can’t just look at the brain and figure it out
   3. However, tend to have differences in frontal lobe, basel ganglia and corpus column
   4. Immaturity Hypothesis -> Immaturity of the brain
      1. Adult adhd is contraversial
   5. Prenatal -> oxigen to brain, mothers who drink, smoke or do drugs
   6. Diet? Probably not
   7. Genetics (tend to run in families)
   8. Also common in families with big disruption -> move, divorce, death in family, etc
10. Treatment
    1. 70-80% respond well to stimulants (don’t help with academics), but gains short term
    2. Alot of kids on drugs don’t meet symptoms
    3. Most drugs given out by family doctors, not psychiatrists

Conduct Disorder

1. Bully?
2. Chronic lack of concern for rights of others
3. Diagnostic criteria (3 or more)
   1. Aggression to people and animals (serious aggression, tying animals legs together), including mugging and rape
   2. Distruction of property
   3. Deceitfulness of theft (con games)
   4. Serious violation of rules (like runing away)
4. Generally start early
5. Prognosis
   1. If it starts young -> not so good
   2. If in adolecence -> tend to grow out of it
   3. Tends to lead to antisocial and borderline

ODD

1. Less sevear than CD
2.  You don’t do what people tell you todo
3. Criteria
   1. 6 months of negative, hostile, defiant behavior
4. Early Childhood -> in infancy
5. Comorbid with adhd and CD
6. Higher in boys (3:1), is this really the case? underdiagnosed in girls (mean girls the movie)

Plate techtonics

Plate techtonics -> equivelent of Survival of Fittest in Biology

3 major Boundry Types

1. Ridge
2. Divergent margin
   1. Formation of new oceanic crust by sea floor spreading
   2. Ocean crust -> denser, more mafic, basalt
   3. Extensional Regime, normal faults, shallow seismicity
   4. High Heat flow, decompression melting
   5. Intrusive igneous -> gabbro and basalt (essp. pillow basalts)
   6. Highly fractured rocks -> alot of water goes through -> causes differences in carbon weathering
   7. Tends to fault in three geometric paterns (third often failing to spread)
   8. Tends to also have reafs at shelf slope break
   9. Starts by bowing up, then breaking, finally filling with lakes then ocean
   10. Oceanic crust is much thinner than continental crust
3. Convergent Margin
   1. Recycling of old, cool oceanic crust (subduction)
   2. Older = Colder = less boyant
   3. Reverse or thrust faulting
   4. Deep seismicity
   5. Increaed Temp = Partial melting of mafic crust = felsic magma
   6. Compression leads to deformation, metamorphism and mountain building
   7. Water, accumulated in pourse ocean basin
   8. Water brought down into asthenosphere = decreasing melting point = more rising magma = mountain building
   9. Also, happens in Continent Continent collision (India subducting under Eurasia) -> causes deformation = himalias
   10. Also, happens in Ocean Ocean collision -> causes island arc = japan
   11. When passive margin collides, subduction reverses causing forlorn basin (like western interior basin in N. America)
4. Transform margins
   1. No new crust forms
   2. Shear regime -> strike-slip faults, shallow seimicity
   3. San. Andres
5. Hot spots are fixed points, thus things like Hawaiian islands, show direction and rate of plate movement
6. Magnetic liniations -> lavas on land dated, and reversal history -> reversal history matched to magnetic liniations, giving us time frames

Driving Forces

1. Mantal Convection (differences in heat)
2. Ridge push or slab pull? -> slab pull is thermal model, push is topographic model
3. Subducted material goes down to the core mantel boundry
4. Icehouses and Greenhouses, match up with rates of volcanism
5. The Wilson Cycle (200my cycle), length of ocean basins determains CO2 levels

Implications

Review

Rogers

1. Real self vs Ideal-self
2. Conditions of worth, seperate the two
3. The incongruence causes anxiaty

Pain Disorder vs Somatization (Somatization has certian requirements)

Schizophrenia-> second work on negative side effects

Delusions are beliefs, hallucination are sensory experiences

Hypocondriasis -> you believe you’re suffering from
PHA -> Sympathetic nervous system arousal -> fight or flight all the time
People with low negative affect are ok

If you have high negative affect and…

high positive -> tend to be fine unless you have PHA

Low positive -> depression, also anxiety in PHA

Fear of Fear -> classical conditioning of body sensation with panic attacks (you fear things that happen durring panic attacks)

Stroop study: colored words (pause on bad words) GAD, chronically attuned to thread (works even if flashed too fast to read

GAD -> tend to think the worring is good, leads to hyper vigilance

Expressed emotion -> hostility, criticism, predicts onset of schizophrenia, lower in non-industrialized (schizo happens less)
Balimia -> electrolyte inballance, treat by helping with Coping with emotions (inability to cope leads to binging and purging)

Theories of OCD -> disfunction in acting on impulses, normally acting causes impulse to go away, but OCD has disregulations (its only temporarily reduced)
Negative symptoms are the real problem with schizophrenia, not delusions/hallucinations

Treatment for DID -> either ignore and treat comorbid, or integrate

Schitzoaffective disorder -> trashcan disorder, low reliability

Common treatment for Conversion disorder -> its caused by a stressor, so remove that

Somatic Hallucination -> seeing your fingers falling off

Tardie Disconesia -> Parkensens like side effect of first gen schizophrenia drugs

Marijauna -> increases risk for schitzophrenia, only before 15, (Twice as likely)

Adaptive fear is in proportion to threat, and disapates when threat is gone -> maladaptive is out of proportion and lasts longer
Non-purging balimia -> binge and then starve yourself, or exercise

cytoarchitecture  -> interruption of migration of neurons (by virus or toxin)

Psychosis con’t

Schizophrenia

1. Diagnosis
   1. Atleast two of the following: Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized behavior, negative symptoms
   2. Impairment in functioning
   3. Atleast six months of symptoms, but acute symptoms for atleast one month
2. Additional Diagnositic issues
   1. Prodromal phase (before): Eccentric, bizzar, but not schizophrenic
   2. Residual symptoms (after): odd, eccentricity, none of the acute symptoms
3. Schizophreniform -> more than one month, less than six
4. Brief psychotic disorder -> more than a day, less than a month
5. Schizoaffective disorder -> schizophrenia and a mood disorder (take your pick)
   1. Meet criteria for mood disorder
   2. Psychotic symptoms in absence of mood symptoms
6. Prognosis -> not great (repeat hospitalizations), after 5-6 years symptoms decrease
7. Role of genes
   1. Diathesis stress model
   2. Communication deviance -> vague, uninterpratable, fragmented
   3. Expressed emotion
8. Statistics
   1. With one parent: 13%
   2. 63% with have no relatives who have had
9. Dopamine Hypothesis
   1. Initial Clues
      1. Thorazine -> reduces dop, reduce acute symptoms
      2. Amphetamines -> increase dop, cause symptoms
      3. Increasing dopamine for parkinson’s -> can cause pyschosis
   2. Explanation of link
      1. Dopamine seems to regulate your ability to pay attention
      2. too much causes Aberrent salience
   3. Where does it come from?
      1. Over production
      2. too little reuptake
      3. not enough deactivation
      4. increased sensitivity
   4. Did spinal tap to find evidence for excess dopamine, which there wasn’t
   5. Back to sensitivity -> presence of D2 receptor (110% more than non-schizophrenic patients)
      1. Could be due to medication use though…
   6. BRAIN SCANS
      1. No evidence for increased sensitivity
   7. Glutamate
      1. PCP blocks Glutamate receptors and causes psychosis, connection?
      2. ketamine -> same thing, but no psychosis in kids, only adults
      3. Reduced functioning of NDMA receptors? (which are sensitive to glutamate)
      4. Reduced functioning also causes Brain Damage (possibly explaining negative symptoms)
   8. Link?
      1. Dopamine inhibits the release of Glutamate (which is why increase causes psychotic symptoms, but schizophrenics don’t have extra dopamine
10. History
    1. 1st generation neuroleptics -> thorazine, haldal
       1. Not great
       2. Akinesia
       3. Akathesis
    2. 2nd generation -> closopene
       1. fewer side effects
       2. wider than just d2 receptors
       3. help with some negative symptoms
       4. still have fatal side effects

Somatoform and Dissociative Disorders

1. Case study: Vertigo
   1. Attacks of dizzieness -> with slight nausia
   2. Every day at 4pm
   3. Husband -> tyrant
   4. Dreaded his arrival
   5. But she’s not faking it
2. Somatoform is a real physiological symptom, with psychological origin
3. Psychosomatic: psychological factors contribute
4. Malingering: deliberate faking to avoid unpleasantness
5. Factitious: deliberately faking to get medical attention (munchausen’s)
6. Somatoform
   1. Symptoms are real
   2. How do you know?
   3. Conversion Disorder -> loss of function in part of body
      1. Testing for conversion paralysis
         1. Drop hand on face (won’t catch with other hand if paralized)
         2. Muscil atrophy (won’t atrophy with with somatoform)
         3. Pin prick (won’t move, but heart rate will increase with somatoform, but not paralysis)
         4. Blindness (eye will follow mirror)
         5. Aphonia (somatoform will cough, if they really have it they won’t, same for crying)
         6. Symptoms will often breifly disapear as you wake up
      2. Treatment
         1. Find what’s causing them stress
   4. Somatization Disorder
      1. Symptoms
         1. Pain (4 areas)
         2. 2 GastroIntestinal
         3. 1 sexual disorder (medical)
         4. 1 neurological
      2. Cultural Differences (schizophrenia is better in non-industrialized, but Somatization is worse)
         1. We’re more open about saying things like stressed out
      3. Grand parents are more likely to somatizise
         1. Less able to express emoations
      4. Family influences -> runs in families, but not genetic
         1. Parents who somatizise neglect children
         2. causes children to model their behavior as attention seeking
   5. Hypochondriasis
      1. Worrying about having a serious disease
      2. Tend to seek help immediately
      3. Dr. Shopping
      4. Tend to focus on one area of body
      5. Disfunctional beliefs about illness (thinking its more common than it is)
   6. Dissociation
      1. Active consciousness: plans, desires, voluntary
      2. Receptive consciousness: hidden observer
