Whitnney Dihmes – Introduction
Hello, my name is Whitnney Dihmes, this is my first semester as a transfer student at Baruch. I graduated from Borough of Manhattan Community College with an A.A. in Business Administration and I’m aiming to pursue the International Business Bachelor’s at Baruch.
I couldn’t pick just one book as my favorite because, well, I am a reader and every book works its magic on you, however, by far, The Anne Frank Diary and The Perks of Being a Wallflower have been my top books. These books are totally different from each other, one is fiction and the other one is based in a real story, but each has something that calls the reader to keep going until you finish it.
I enjoy watching a good movie, going to museums when possible, explore New York City, try recipes when I have time to spare, and well reading as stated before.
The text has some self explanatory paragraphs, however, this paragraph got me a little off the track:
” We create the locations we study, and this recognition ought to encourage us to continue to remap the geographies of literary and cultural forms.” Also, “One claim that is often made against the changes ushered in by the transnational turn to literary studies is that it has led to a debilitating fragmentation. ”
What got me off track here is how can we could possibly remap the geographies of literary and cultural forms since nowadays, literary and cultural forms have totally expanded not only to the forms we already had established, but to more modern and detailed forms depending the country, the education and economic status and other significant factors that influence the development of these forms. Also, debilitating fragmentation of the literary studies under what meaning?
