Please note that for class on Monday, we will read an article by bell hooks rather than the essay noted on the syllabus by Doris Witt. hooks’ essay has been posted to WordPress along with Assignment 06 which is due by midnight on Sunday. On Wednesday we will return to Monique Truong’s novel, The Book of Salt.
Due Sunday, October 15th, by midnight. Word count: 300 words. Please make sure everything is in your own words. No quotes should be used. If you paraphrase from the text be sure to include the proper citation (either MLA or APA). Late assignments will be accepted for partial credit if they are submitted no later than one week after the original deadline.
Attempt to explain the relationship to “the other” that bell hooks describes in her essay, “Eating the other.” Who or what is “the Other”? Why do you think hooks characterizes the relationship to “otherness” as productive?
