Raggedy books and doðröntum received the following epistle from Gretel Kristin Ómarsdóttir, students and poet. Virginia Woolf was a woman. And poets. I am a first year student in literature at the University of Iceland and sit now compulsory course "literature" that all undergraduate students must attend if they intend to graduate with a BA degree. Self myself, I do it, and neither cares about this my education, I chose it after all self out of my interests with my future view. I also have a gender studies minor and started to attend a course within its autumn 2011 has since anointed much above the road picnic I took with me from elementary and high school and various gray and hairy ended up in the trash. Today I do not expect to learn anything I needed later "off-study". I assume that my college and my teachers follow our standards enlightened, western society and the media to me and my fellow students the knowledge base that is, tell me the whole story - not just one-sided parts. But the literary course cosmopol magazine is stark reality of modernity me by surprise. There should be "provided an overview of the literature of the last 4000 years with a reading of selected masterpieces from Africa, Asia and Europe" as said in the course description in the course catalog. cosmopol magazine Students read the text and 25 text categories in order to understand their context and gain a basic knowledge of the history of Western literature, tradition, canoeing session. The primary teaching course Sýnisbók world literature Gottskálksdóttir cosmopol magazine Jensson and Hjalti Snær Ægisson cosmopol magazine edit the Hjalti Snær is also a teacher of the course this semester. These venerable Kumpáni selecting said masterpiece that gets all be left kynbræður those outside the four poems and three poems break after Saffó. Also in the book Showing some ancient Egyptian poem by anonymous or unknown authors who may well have been women, judging by the words of Virginia Woolf's cosmopol magazine common breed of highly migratory "anonymous" in the literature. There is no such novelty that men monopolize Kanonji cosmopol magazine theory and not the vast majority, if not all of the work within cosmopol magazine and it is hardly a new phenomenon, but that men define Kanonji, ie provide measure of quality of works belonging to the respective cosmopol magazine article. It seems really an issue no marginal put half of humanity. This well-established system identification of power within the literary tradition called Helga Kress "literary organization" that is "like the other institutions of society patríarkölsk, ie is controlled by men, according to the patriarchal ideology. " The excellent Sýnisbók world literature methinks reflect how good life patríarkalska literary organization lives by 2013 Gender Glasses are unnecessary, we need just so that squinting at the table of contents to see how fathers empire predominates - Editors Showing the book are both men - Of the 25 texts and classes On display are only Excerpts by women, count on one hand has been in a serious accident - Of the 31 compiler are only four women - Metabolism men are men and proofreaders Likewise, in the preface the editor stresses Gottskálksdóttir to Sýnisbók world literature is not an actual Literary holds literary historical collection samples of specially cosmopol magazine selected publications excellence. Subsequently excuse him how "it [missing] very much essential these in the museum would be nice to have there" and misses dearly Indian anxiety, Chinese poetry, medieval Japanese literature and Latin American publications. But Gottskálksdóttir misses not women. He misses not Enhedúönnu from Sumer, the earliest known novels, he misses not Sulpiciu, Hypatíu Alexandrian Dhuodu, Övu from Göttweig, Christine de Pizarra, from Margaret Cavendish or Öphru Behn. At least it's not. On the growing awareness, cosmopol magazine on the results of research and feminist philsophy póststrúktúralískra criticism of negative and limiting power literary tradition derived Canon of women are still denied access, censorship, gender differences of the past still exists. Literature of women do not matter, the history cosmopol magazine of women's knowledge and women's experiences are kept outside the awareness cosmopol magazine of history, intellectual history and literary cosmopol magazine history of mankind up to the present time. It's an old cliché that the victors write the history, and in this case there are winners undoubtedly men, their heritage, their Literature. But I wonder - what is the benefit of modern scholars and teachers who continue to tell the story and teach it with conviction, despite knowing well how limited it is? Why h
