The Other and the Veil

THE OTHER:

This is a handout on the concept of the Other from the philosopher Emmanual Levinas:

Other-Levinas-Scanlan-ENG2000-sp2015

 

 

THE VEIL:

1. A handout that I designed to spark discussion for Persepolis:

Globo-Veil-Young-Scanlan-2015

2. Five images that are as interesting as they are confusing:

5Veil-Pics-Eng2000-2013

3. A fairly good Wikipedia entry on the veil:

4.  An academic book with a collection of essay on the veil: The Veil: Women Writers on Its History, Lore, and Politics, edited by Jennifer Heath

 

JOURNAL 5:

300 words typed: Answer these two prompts:

1. After reading Levinas’s The Other handout, briefly describe Marji’s experience of the Other in Austria.

2. Compare Young’s quotations on the veil with Marji’s argument on page 297.

Best,

Sean
