prompt: Philip McMichael (2017: 40) characterizes the three decades following the second world war, which saw a historic wave of decolonization, as an era “marked by a sense of almost boundless idealism, as governments and people from the First and Third Worlds joined together in a coordinated effort to stimulate economic growth; bring social improvements through education, public health, family planning, and transport and communication systems to urban and rural populations, and promote political citizenship in new nations.”  How would you assess the “boundless idealism” of the Development project in the post-1945 era? How do efforts to foster development in Egypt and South Korea support your assessment?  Consider the following to develop and organize your essay. i) What were the main features of the post-1945 Development project? What made the period between the 1940s and 1970s an optimistic period for peoples and governments in formerly colonized regions? What difficulties and constraints did they face in overcoming the legacies of the colonial division of labor? ii) Compare and contrast “Development Projects” in Egypt and South Korea What kinds of “Development Projects” were implemented in each country and what kinds of social and economic transformation did each bring about?  

Literary CriticismNew Criticism was a school of literary criticism that emerged in the mid-twentieth century. It rejected the traditional critical view that literature should be studied in the context of the author’s life, views, and purpose. Instead, New Critics such as John Crowe Ransom and William K. Wimsatt stated that a work of literature must be appreciated for its own sake, independent of its author’s life or purpose and the reader’s biases and emotional response.Ransom's publication of his book The New Criticism in 1941 marked the start of this literary school of thought.In this task, you’ll analyze a poem using three different approaches: biographical, New Criticism, and emotional. Later, you will critique your own analysis.You can use the following resources to complete this activity:how Elizabeth Barrett Browning's life story influenced interpretations of Sonnets from the Portuguese for many yearsa short biography of Elizabeth Barrett BrowningYou can refer to this analysis of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” as a sample to guide your response. The analysis demonstrates the kind of information you can include for each of the three analyses, although it applies to a very different kind of text than the Barret Browning poem you will analyze.Part ARead Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s famous Sonnet 43.Sonnet 43by Elizabeth Barret BrowningHow do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of Being and ideal Grace.I love thee to the level of everyday’sMost quiet need, by sun and candlelight.I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.I love thee with the passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,I shall but love thee better after death.Write an analysis of the poem with a special emphasis on its historical background and Elizabeth Browning’s life story (a historical or biographical approach).Part BWrite an analysis of the poem from the New Criticism perspective, closely examining the form and content of the text itself without any reference to the historical or biographical context or to your personal response to the poem.Part CWrite about your own personal reaction (emotional response) to the poem. Try to explain how you approached the poem and how your opinion could shape or change its meaning.Part DIn this part of the activity, you will evaluate your three critiques of the poem. You will first need to recall what you learned about intentional and affective fallacies in this unit. W. K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley coined both terms. The term intentional fallacy refers to the idea that an author’s purpose or intention in writing a work of literature has no importance in appreciating or critiquing that work. The term affective fallacyrefers to the idea that how a work affects a reader or what emotions it arouses in the reader have no importance in appreciating or critiquing that work. Read this Knowledge Article to learn more about New Criticism and the affective and intentional fallacies.Evaluate your response to part A. Explain the disadvantages of emphasizing background information, such as historical context when critiquing a poem. Be sure to include examples from your analyses.Part ENow evaluate your response to Part B. List any advantages or disadvantages in using the New Critical approach when evaluating a poem, including examples from your analyses.Part FFinally, evaluate your analysis of Part C. What are the advantages and disadvantages of emphasizing personal bias and emotion when critiquing a poem? Include examples of your analysis when possible.
