...documentary medium tends to imply that the camera is neutral, passive, recording life exactly as it reveals itself in front of the lenses. This pretense is discredited somewhat by the suspicion that people behave differently under the eye of the camera than they would otherwise. No such claims are implicit in the style of Grey Gardens--both of the main characters direct their attention, words, and action toward the camera. But one doesn't get the sense that the Beales' "performances" in any way belie their inner reality. Their performances are the reality--the personas they adopt...
...reading a text is "Language Into Structure: Pickwick Papers," a piece on Dickens, the subject of his first book and the writer to whom he constantly returns. Having shown through a detailed textual analysis that the novel is about to plunge into the unrestricted use of language, an implicit claim that the novelist can represent anything he likes in language, Marcus points to the conclusion of the novel in which the misuse of language by the law puts Pickwick in prison...
...case in point, one might take Yassar Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Every month some newspaper or semi-intellectual magazine will publish an article which purports to demonstrate, by close textual analysis, and by supplying what is left out but supposedly implicit, that the PLO has decided to recognize Israel's right to exist. This method of studying international developments is not entirely without validity, and in the case of the PLO is even necessary, since it is not particularly likely that Arafat will, in the near future, issue a point-by-point peace proposal. But code deciphering...
...moral evaluation would be an abdication of a newspaper's trust and responsibility. The Crimson's advertising columns will remain open to those wishing to communicate with the Crimson readership. But The Crimson reserves the right of judgement with respect to the nature of that communication; racism, explicit or implicit, should not appear in any form in The Crimson...
...danger of academic isolation is that the experts will come to believe in and convince others of their own scientific, value-free objectivity. The Ec 10 student, wading through the graphs and curves and jargon may forget that there are any values at all implicit in the "science." The student may forget that there is no objective reason why an introductory course should spend two months studying profit maximization and two days on tax reform. Ec 10 is an elaborate sand castle, perfect in all but its tenuous sandy foundation. Too often students cross the drawbridge without taking the time...
