[|RIP READING CHALLENGE for OCTOBER 2013]

Jacques Derrida, father of deconstructionism, deconstructs Americans in 3 minutes. OUCH media type="custom" key="24022200" [|Is this real deconstruction?] **//Is there a particular type of humor that all AP students enjoy? Well, there is certainly a brand that causes an AP teacher to cry because she is laughing so hard. Enjoy://** ==[|Biblioklept’s Dictionary of Literary Terms] ==

 AFFECTIVE FALLACY Avoid reading with emotions. Ignore any feelings you feel during reading—that’s not the point of literature. BYRONIC HERO Super-cool cool guy. CANON All the literature that’s fit to print. Declare it dead or meaningless or obsolete every few years. Revise as necessary. DIARY The private thoughts of an author, never intended for publication. Publish and disseminate widely after death. ENLIGHTENMENT A brief, optimistic mistake. FRANKENSTEIN Always point out that Frankenstein is the doctor’s name, not the monster’s. Argue that Percy Shelley’s edits were intrusive. GOTHIC NOVEL Wears black; smokes cloves. HAIKU A form of poetry grade school children are forced to write. Count the syllables. INKHORN TERM Linguistic aureation proliferated to adnichilate reader apperception. JOUISSANCE A nebulous, sticky French pun. KITSCH The sad process by which the consumerist trash capitalism necessitates colonizes an aesthetic perspective via defensive irony. LIMERICK The acme of excellence in poetry. Nantucket is a popular setting. MEMOIR A genre of literature often mistaken for truth by its audience. NOVELLA A novelist’s chance at perfection. ORWELLIAN A useful adjective. Misuse freely—especially if you only dimly recall the two or three things you ever read by George Orwell. PHALLOGOCENTRISM In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was Phallus. QUARTO Bring up in any discussion of Shakespeare; watch the students’ eyes glaze over. ROMAN A CLEF A genre of literature often mistaken for fiction by its audience. SOCRATIC IRONY The tedious, drawn out process of questioning that Plato submits his characters to in order to get to his thesis. THEME A misunderstanding of the text in which all its words are distilled into a single cliché, guaranteeing that the text will not have to be reread. UNCANNY Pair with valley or X-Men. VARIORUM An annotated edition of a text with scholarly commentary intended to ruin any possible enjoyment on the reader’s part. WELTANSCHAUUNG A German word that students should use in term papers instead of “viewpoint” or “perspective.” XANADU Poorly received 1980 musical film about roller skating. Also the setting of a Coleridge poem. YA Abbreviation for “Young Adult,” a genre of books that people of all ages read and which serve as the basis for Hollywood film franchises. ZARATHUSTRA Dude who spake.   **[]**
