Moving pictures
1. [3 points] In their chapter “Moving pictures,” Bennett and Royle argue that Wordsworth’s “‘spots of time’ can be related to moving pictures in at least three ways.” Using at least ONE specific example from this chapter ONLY, clearly and precisely explain what Wordsworth’s “spots of time” refer to AND explain at least ONE way in which they relate to “moving pictures.”
2. [4 points] Using at least TWO specific examples from Nealon’s and Giroux’s eighth chapter ONLY (“Space / Time”), clearly and precisely explain how BOTH “space and time are deeply social as opposed to natural phenomena.”
3. [3 points] In their essay on “Laughter,” Bennett and Royle “provide an account of some of the ways in which laughter has been theorized.” Using at least ONE specific example from this essay ONLY, clearly and precisely define (as comprehensively as possible) at least TWO of the following theories or terms related to laughter: “superiority theory,” “nothing theory (or “no theory”),” “paronomasia,” or “litote.”
