Port Elizabeth

Yesterday I finally arrived in Port Elizabeth, settled in a postgraduate apartment of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.  This morning the sun rose very early. It was bright. Sky was clear. It was peaceful. I spent the morning reading a book Black and Blue. It is a very interesting critic essay.  All the thoughts are connected via images, still or moving. The author meanders one to another image and another thought seamlessly. It is impressive, her vast knowledge and insight.

In the afternoon I walked to the shopping mall in Summerstrand Village. On the way I saw a mongoose.  It didn't stand but run.  It was cute. Then, I continued to walk to the Boardwalk, an entertainment place with a casino, fountains, shops and restaurants. I had a can juice. Since I bought it in a restaurant, it was expensive. I thought it would be squeezed, but in a can. I walked on a pier. It was quite windy. I didn't reach the end. I walked back to the shopping mall to do grocery shopping. Then, I walked back to my apartment. I forgot her name. The woman who became a senior lecturer walked to my place with two African students. Lauri, who lives in the apartment #2, came, too. We introduced ourselves to the others, exchanging phone numbers. They all seemed to be friendly.

Bassist Stanley Clarke

Trio! Stanley Clarke, Bass Béla Fleck, Banjo Jean-Luc Ponty, Violin ...at Chicago Symphony Center A week ago, I told my friend that it was not easy for me to appreciate the bass itself because the tone tends to be very low and never predominant. But today, I need to change what I said. Most of all I haven't seen a more wonderful picture of a man with a bass than tonight. The big instrument always seemed to suspend the player in an awkward position. But Mr. Clarke dominates the instrument and plays with it. The gigantic instrument sometimes becomes a drum with trembling strings or sometimes becomes a guitar which seems to be passed onto a Spanish flamenco music player. All the time he looks much more passionate than any flamenco dancer. I am deeply impressed that one can explode such dynamic sound and rhythm from the bass. Mr. Ponty also presents violin sound which I never heard before. It seems that he doesn't care making beatiful melody and he likes to go beyond the tone withi

The Girl with the Golden Parasol

Image
Written by Uday Prakash in Hindi / translated by Jason Grunebaum This book, with a cover image which reminds me of van Gogh, came to my hand after the bilingual reading presented by the author and the translator at the University of Chicago yesterday. The author defines this novel as a love story. He is quite modest. Rahul, in the middle of storms of corruptions and the casteism, falls in love with a girl with a golden yellow parasol and changes his major to Hindi literature to get closer to her. The moment when he feels the love so intensely is described like this: the golden yellow parasol turns into a butterfly and a butterfly sitting on the tip of the parasol the parasol itself. Then, 'now the butterfly, casting a spell over the whole world, had brought Rahul's sense of his own existence under its wing.'--How beautiful graphically! While reading this novel, my mind wandered around three countries: India, the U.S. and Korea. In the spell of globalization and the casteis

The Sociology of Education in Canada

Wotherspoon, Terry. (2004). 2nd Ed. Don Mills, ON: Oxford University Press. Sociology, which was first used by the French writer Compte in the nineteenth century to read the rapidly changing society after the Industrial revolution, is foremost a study of society and is divided into diverse fields which are determined by the perspective each study takes. Three major perspectives are structural functionalism--focusing on the orderly social structure, like a living organism, thus fundamentally aiming to stablize the structure by identifying and removing harmful elements in the social structure--interpretative analysis--emphasizing a micro level human interactions and social symbols on the basis that the world is socially constructed and the reality exists only through the member's relationship with other members, language, knowledge, etc--and critical sociology--as seen in Marxism and feminism, analyzes fundamental structural inequality of the society and aims to subvert the underlyin
