Expressing History and Society through Magic Realism Techniques Magic realism is related to but different from surrealism. Both of them use imagination, along with fairy tales, and legends to create mythological setting and plot. However, in magic realism, the imagination is based on reality. In Alejo Carpentier’s “the kingdom of this world”, characters, events, plot that author created mostly can find in Haiti’s history. Gerald Martin (1989) point out, “Magic realism is a different approach to looking at thing”.

2010 HSC Question Analyse how the central values portrayed in King Richard III are creatively reshaped in Looking for Richard The work of Pacino is able to creatively place Shakespeare’s core ideals of humanist philosophy and the corrupting influence of power within a modern context, to reveal the perennial nature of the playwright’s central values. Shakespeare’s King Richard III (1592) identifies hereditary power as a potent force when the natural order is usurped. Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard (1996) sees power within a democratic time and thus presents it as privilege, not a God-given gift, yet the two maintain a similar view of the dangers of authority without balance. Shakespeare’s time demanded a negative portrayal of Richard’s humanist ideals, where blame is placed upon the King’s lack of Christianity for his abhorrent acts. Pacino, however, contends with a time where it is increasingly becoming the norm, but still contends with a society that can be considered moral devoid in some manners, and thus the importance of spirituality and thought is evident in both.

Hughes contrasts realism vs. idealism of America, hope vs. depression and personal view of America vs. public view and through these contrasts, Hughes is able to explain how he is optimistic about the future while living in a very troubled time as well as give opinions to readers about America, good and bad. First, through the usage of juxtaposition, Hughes is able to give a description of how American ought to be vs. how it really is, showing the difference between America now and America hopefully in the future. He touches base on many wonderful patriotic pictures of America, but then contradicts them with revealing the reality of America. For example, “Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed/let it be that great strong land of love/where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme/that any man be crushed by one above” (Hughes 8-9). Hughes is describing America as this “great strong land of love,” which triggers readers’ emotions and makes them feel a desire to go to America in order to seek this love.
COMPARE and CONTRAST two critiques of ‘the American Dream’. REFER to The Great Gatsby film adaptation as well as Death of a Salesman. In each text, IDENTIFY the specific social comment made. The American Dream is strongly exemplified in Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of The Great Gatsby and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, in which it is not so much calling into question the pursuit of the American Dream, but the dream itself. The two texts provide social commentary on matters such as looking toward the future to pursue an ambition, cheating to attain what is desired, and the result of dreams becoming obsessions.
Alego Carpentier wrote Like the Night to depict western civilization and its historical relations with North and South Americas. It is rather read as an allegory than just a narrative which traces humans’ development in terms of a binary two sets (Europe vs. non Europe,) and examines the power relations between them. Particularly, the story reveals the West attitudes toward colonization and the colonized through the eyes of the narrator who is a Greek soldier taken to fight for Spain against America. This kind of allegorical stories plays a major role in determining the mode of narration, the choice of characters and their function in the story, the setting, as well as the themes. Each of these elements is done in a way to serve the the underlying message behind the story, the fact that the West is the civilizer and the non West is the uncivilized.
Complex interworking of representation of perceived reality by the painter, ideological approach of the viewer is at play, both, striving to figure out the real. The paper will try to analyze Frida Kahlo’s two paintings Self-Portrait With Thorn Necklace and Humming Bird and Henry ford hospital, The Flying Bed under this lens. The term visual might seem to a layman too simplistic to be critically analyzed but the field of visual culture expands the scope of our ways of seeing and the perceptions that govern an individual's spectatorship. It is easy to define visual as "What is visible to eyes" but new vistas are opened when as students of visual studies we set to decipher the fact that our understanding of reality is primarily if not wholly based on our pre-conceived notions, acquired ideas, collective unconsciousness (Jung), ideologies etc. I call this method of visualizing as pre-conceived because it is governed by our societal cultures, traditions, norms and beliefs.
