M. Foucault‚ "What is an Author?" Michel Foucault (1926 1984) dealt with many aspects of social philosophy during his career‚ but it is his philosophy surrounding the role and dominance of the author in modern literature that this essay aims to deal with. From the 19th century onwards‚ Foucault notices that through social and political frameworks‚ the presence of an author vastly dominates the content and categorisation of any publication of that author. He also throws into question the idea

Introduction: The study of the ballistic pendulum began with Benjamin Robins in the early 1700 ’s. Robins was an English mathematician and writer on ballistics‚ and used this testing apparatus for the evaluation of the strength of gunpowder and the measurement of air resistance (Calvert‚ 2006). At the time of the American Revolution a loyalist named Benjamin Thompson also utilized and expanded the use to the ballistic pendulum. He further evaluated the efficiency of gunpowder. He fired from

Q1. Outline the historical development of the models of the universe from the time of Aristotle to the time of Newton. Aristotle: Geocentric model of the universe involved a series of 56 concentric spheres to which celestial objects were attached. The Earth was not in motion as the stars showed no measureable parallax. Each planet‚ the Sun‚ and the Moon were in their own sphere and the stars were positioned on a larger sphere surrounding all the others. Ptolemy: Geocentric model of the universe

Summer 2012 will be no exception. First‚ I want you to

One of the continuing motifs that Foucault develops consistently is the idea that power is an action that imprints‚ and ultimately has the ability to alter perception through persuasion and authority—the idea of subjugation. The idea of subjugation is that while this is a natural construct in accordance with human behavior‚ it has now been taken over by what is termed as subjugators‚ or more specifically‚ institutions of higher authority. The problem with this is how the subjugators have taken

is to study the period of the pendulum with different masses. Secondly to also study the relationship in the different lengths of the string and how it affects the period. Thirdly to find the different (time) periods in the changes in the arc size. Theory If the pendulum is set ‚ the force of the motion is used to swing back and forth . where the t period is the time the pendulum takes to complete a cycle of oscillation. As t-1/f the complete distance of the pendulum and its mass is finished ‚ the

CENTRIPETAL FORCE ON A PENDULUM OBJECTIVE To measure centripetal force exerted on a pendulum using the force sensor bob and in so doing compare this value determined by force calculations based on the height of the pendulum. THEORY Newton’s laws of motion are the basis for this experiment. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of momentum of a body is dependent on

1. In a paragraph of roughly 100 words‚ summarize Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes’s central arguments in “What is an Author?” and “The Death of the Author.” Your goal is to capture the overarching argument‚ the big picture. Often‚ you will recognize the central argument when the rhetoric becomes abstract‚ more explanatory‚ conceptual‚ or theoretical in tone. ⎯ Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes’s main argument center on the figure of the author and attempt to deconstruct the vision of the author

.:First experiment:. .Problem: How will the length of a pendulum affect the amount of swings per minute? .Hypothesis: I believe that the length of the pendulum will affect the amount of swings per minute because when the string is shorter in length‚ there would be less friction between the string and the atmosphere‚ causing the string to go faster. .Materials: * String ( should be 70-90 cm long) * Metal washers * Stopwatch * Metric ruler * Stand * Extra washers (You will
