ellauri067.html on line 428: Freud´s didactic strategy in his Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality was to construct a bridge between the "perversions" and "normal" sexuality. Clinically exploring "a richly diversified collection of erotic endowments and inclinations: hermaphroditism, pedophilia, sodomy, fetishism, exhibitionism, sadism, masochism, coprophilia, necrophilia" among them, Freud concluded that "all humans are innately perverse". He found the roots of such perversions in infantile sexuality—in the child´s "polymorphously perverse" inclinations ... the "aptitude" for such perversity is innate.
ellauri095.html on line 512: The Wreck of the Deutschland became the occasion for Hopkins’s incarnation as a poet in his own right. He broke with the Keatsian wordpainting style with which he began, replacing his initial prolixity, stasis, and lack of construction with a concise, dramatic unity. He rejected his original attraction to Keats’s sensual aestheticism for a clearly moral, indeed a didactic, rhetoric. He saw nature not only as a pleasant spectacle as Keats had; he also confronted its seemingly infinite destructiveness as few before or after him have done. In this shipwreck he perceived the possibility of a theodicy, a vindication of God’s justice which would counter the growing sense of the disappearance of God among the Victorians. For Hopkins, therefore, seeing more clearly than ever before the proselytic possibilities of art, his rector’s suggestion that someone write a poem about the wreck became the theological sanction he needed to begin reconciling his religious and poetic vocations.

ellauri161.html on line 622: I have to applaud Adam McKay for using the platform that he has to address the single most pressing issue that we face as a species, but I can’t help but be deeply frustrated that the way he has chosen to do so fails on so many levels, both dramatically and didactically.
ellauri214.html on line 326: Seijan harmaa ohut kovakantinen kappale Turgenevin tuonnimistä pienoisromaania sopii kuin valettu mun Salmiselta hankittuihin kesähousuihin ja Tokmannilta eilen ostettuun siistiin vanhusmaiseen paitapuseroon. Ne ovat yhtä haalean harmaita kuin oli Ivan Turgenev, iso ja leveäharteinen mutta timidi länkkärimielinen agnostikko joka eli ja kuoli eturauhassyöpään 64-vuotiaana lännessä. Se oli köyhtynyttä tataariaatelia isän puolelta, varakas kielitaitoinen ja hyvätapainen, mistä sitä halvexivat moukkamaisemmat slavofiilit virkaveljet Tolstoi ja Fedja-setä. Dosto oli henkilönä kusipää eikä Tolstoi juuri parempi. Tchekhov oli luikero ja Turgenjev turha mies. Leskov oli ikävä (despotic, vindictive, quick-tempered and prone to didacticism) ja Gogol hullu. Turgenev pysyi poikamiehenä vaikka ilmeisesti menetti poikuutensa maaorjaneitosille. Ivan oli tylyttävän äidin poika, rentustava isä oli läheisempi vaikka jäi etäisemmäxi, kuten tavallaan sanotaan tässäkin novellettassa. Äiti oli isää vakavaraisempi kuten kirjassa. Joku Uncle Tom luki Ivanille pienenä Heraskovin Rossiadia.
ellauri221.html on line 157: An important characteristic of the Dunno trilogy is its heavily didactic nature. Nosov describes this as an effort to teach "honesty, bravery, camaraderie, willpower, and persistence" and discourage "jealousy, cowardice, mendacity, arrogance, and effrontery." Strong political undertones are also present. In addition to general egalitarianism and feminism, communist tendencies dominate the works. The first book takes the reader into a typical Soviet-like town, the second into a communist utopia, and the third into a capitalistic satire. Nosov's captivating and humorous literary style has made his ideologies accessible to children and adults alike.
ellauri360.html on line 490: A common illustration is found among Africans who discovered that the great patriarchs were polygamists and cattle sodomists and wondered why the missionaries were so adamant about monogamy and the missionary position. There is something for everybody in the Bible. The West typically reads the didactic and missionary letters of Paul as a key to reading the remainder of the Bible. Africans like Leviticus and squeaky indians go for proverbs. It is frequently noted that, for Pentecostals, the New Testament, with its tongue speaking, healings, demonic encounters, and spiritual warfare, is not strange but the blueprint for how the Christian life is to be lived.
ellauri392.html on line 730: They have represented the indicators of their bad destiny, their sacrifice for the better world by the solitude and alienation of Jewish individuals in America, turning back to the historical facts (since the Second World War) as the cause for the atrocity towards Jews and their suffering then and now. The writers put the Jews on the pedestal of a sublime nation and at the same time made them victims of modern society. The Jewish writers took a chance in American literature which had a didactic effect, using another common argument, not easily compatible with the theory of superior American morals but certainly applicable. [Ни сам не разумем ову тачку.] The writers would claim they had a duty to portray how people actually think and behave. But the writers also had a duty to implant moral lessons.
