backlash
[Music]
in our last lesson we discussed
outlining and how easy writing can be if
we practice it for this session we'll
discuss for the first time a specific
type of academic text that is the critic
paper pero hindi tayamko focus secretary
paper mismo quinde say but
company
critical approaches to writing a critic
paper but of course before we discuss
each approach let us first define what a
critic is a critic is a genre of
academic writing guyana sabina garina
it's a type of an academic text as its
name sounds a critic briefly and
critically summarizes and evaluates a
work or a concept and then it summarizes
and it evaluates ebooks to be in middle
east
can be used to carefully analyze a
variety of works alibaba and predicting
i am all creative works guyana novels
exhibits
films shows images or poetry at the
bodybuilding media buying a news reports
and feature art files before we continue
discussing
criticizing criticizing means judging or
evaluating someone or something
like an essay a critic uses a formal
academic writing style and has a clear
structure
detailed evaluation
but why do we make critics
paper the purpose of an evaluation is to
gauge the importance the usefulness or
the impact of a work in a particular
field
to know how well it is done what message
or messages does it render and even how
it can affect the field or the
discipline it belongs to now that you
understand what a critic is let us talk
about our very topic that is the
critical approaches remember there are
various ways on how you can write a
critique and these ways are what we call
approaches also for this discussion
ampakusa panel nothing approaches a for
criticizing text although puederino
mancillan gamiten for other works like
movies and other arts mus common silent
meetings about evangelism text malik
baksin abhinating critical approaches in
writing a critic it simply means the
ways on how to write a critic
is the first approach that is the
formalist criticism also known as
formalism the formalist approach claims
that all literary works contain
intrinsic properties and treats each
literary work as a distinct work of art
appreciate donating some text by
understanding the text itself pano
intrinsic properties
and story you can criticize it by
looking deeper into its elements like
the characters the setting the plot the
conflict the point of view and etc look
at this excerpt from a formalist
criticism of a rose from emily published
on victoriancrossman.wordpress.com
as you can see the critic discussed how
the author presented the characters
setting plot and point of view of the
story arose for emily
[Music]
again formalism is about the elements of
the text you criticize paramedic just
remember formalism is about the text
form now let's discuss the second
approach which i think is the easiest
that is the reader response criticism
this approach of criticism is concerned
with the reviewer's reaction as an
audience of a literary work immisubin
you do not need to study the elements or
look at who wrote the text or when it
was written online reaction was a reader
this approach claims that the reader's
role cannot be separated from the
understanding of the text ibisben a text
does not have meaning until a reader
reads it and interprets it
in this approach you can criticize a
literary work based on the message or
messages it is trying to point out in
his guide questions you can ask yourself
about how do you feel after reading the
text or what are the lessons you learned
after you read it look at this excerpt
from a reader response criticism of the
three idiots film published on
studymoves.com the critic gave emphasis
on the lessons learned from the three
idiots film
which are the pursuit of excellence
through passion
the pursuit of success the importance of
life and its beauty
and the significance of hard work as
well as the danger of living a mediocre
life
again in either response criticism your
own understanding of the text is what's
important the third approach is the
feminist criticism also known as
feminism this approach focuses on how
literature represents women as a subject
of social political psychological and
economic oppression episode
feminists approach and gamete more and
focus
and since we are looking at how the
women are in the text this approach also
tends to reveal the patriarchal aspect
of her culture
you can criticize the work by looking at
how men and women are presented you can
ask questions like are the male
characters powerful or superior in their
position while the female characters are
subordinate or inferior
or are the male characters decisive
while the female characters are not
let's look back at the story arose for
emily and understand it based on the
feminist approach
the critic explained how miss emily is
very dependent on her father's decision
that she couldn't decide on her own
happiness and she's controlled by her
father again feminism is all about the
females or women finally the last
approach we will discuss is the marxist
criticism also called smart system this
approach is concerned about the
differences among economic classes
it attempts to reveal that the ultimate
source of people's experiences is the
social economic system even
through the marxist approach
i am adding social classes
working class
actually you can easily use this
approach in many filipino teleseries
because one of the most common story
formats in the country is about the rich
and the poor kayaman you can criticize a
literary work based on how the social
economic system is presented or maybe
discuss the effects of classes
power relations and social roles let's
look back at the rules for emily and
understand how the social roles are
presented in that story the critic
explained the socio-economic ideologies
which are presented in the attitudes and
behaviors of miss emily who belongs to
the upper class and the downs people
from the lower class
again marxism is all about social crisis
the reach and the poor before we end
this session let us first recall the
four approaches we discussed remember
formalism is about the form or the
elements read the responses about your
reaction as a reader feminism is about
the females or the women and marxism is
about social process the reach the word
glass and the poor and that's it that's
our lesson for this episode thank you

this video again please subscribe to our
