It all started with someone touching me-I couldn't see. Thank you! :) the tiny mouseįor 5 years now I have had the strangest life - I have children and a husband, completely normal (for the most part) in a upper-middle class neighborhood. But what is this phenomenon and why do some people have it while others dont? Anyway, i really got a kick out of stumbling across this discussion. When I close my eyes and am in a relaxed state (but not sleeping and fully aware of my surroundings), I see images: faces, people, things.these images are very fluid and in a constant state of change and rechange (like oil). I see things when I close my eyes.I always have since I was a child and it never occured to me that this might not be ordinary, untill one day a couple years ago I mentioned it to somebody and that person had no idea what i was talking about. So, I'm taking your advice and not looking at the responses of others before I respond. and then is stumbled on your blog.UNREAL. I just happened to come across your blog and when I saw the title of this particular blog "When Your Eyes Are Closed.", I was shocked.because I was JUST talking with someone about this EXACT EXPERIENCE and trying to both explain it and understand what the reason for it is. This is very curious cause I have the feeling of seeing something and I can draw it, but I don't have any actual visual experience indeed. I don't know if you meant this by your question. Another different thing is memories or imagination. And of course, closer to sleep, there can be very fugitive images or little movies, like the beginning of dreams but this generally happen when I'm quite on the verge of falling asleep, so that it can be considered as a waking state. Sometimes the whole transforms into a sort a 3D black void. After a while, these 2D dots tend to become 3-dimensionnal. The fuzzy dots become generally brighter, they may be coloured and sometimes they create patterns which move repetitively (translations or circular movements). This is very different when falling asleep. It disappears soon, thus I suppose it's also a sort of retinian persistency corresponding to the fovea area. When I just close my eyes, I can see a very faint light blue tiny circle. Once retinian after-images disappear ( they look like a fuzzy negative image of the main light areas of my previous field of vision), I see a very dark background with very little fuzzy greyish light dots. While awake, the best I can describe what I see is, sort of TV statics. By "awake", I suppose you mean a completely awake state, that is not a pre-sleep/post-sleep state? What I can see eyes closed in hypnagogic/hypnopompic states greatly differs from what I see while perfectly awake.

Subjects: Cultural Studies (General) Literary Studies The overview offered by this volume promises to makes an original and thought-provoking contribution to contemporary literary, artistic and cultural criticism. This collection of essays responds to an urgent need by suggesting a framework for evaluating the notion of the project in the light of various modernist and postmodernist cultural practices, drawn mainly but not exclusively from the French-speaking domain. At a time when writers and artists are increasingly describing their practices as ‘projects’, remarkably little critical attention has been paid to the actual idea of the ‘project’. The idea of the ‘project’ crosses generic, disciplinary and cultural frontiers. October 2005 The Art of the Project Projects and Experiments in Modern French Culture Gratton, J. Subjects: History: 18th/19th Century Cultural Studies (General) Literary Studies A crucial piece of a nineteenth-century transatlantic literary tradition, this long-awaited translation and scholarly edition of the novel offers a startling revision of the frontier myth from a European perspective. Written in the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper, but offering a much darker and more violent image of the American frontier, this was the first novel produced by Friedrich Gerstäcker, who would go on to become one of Germany’s most famous and prolific authors. The Arkansas Regulators is a rousing tale of frontier adventure, first published in German in 1846, but virtually lost to English readers for well over a century.

Subjects: Anthropology (General) Literary Studies Anthropology of Religion It is all interwoven with the author’s own anthropological field research in a town in Central Nigeria. Afropolitan Horizons discusses their work alongside other novelists and commentators, as well as describing the ways in which Nigeria has appeared in foreign news reporting. Leading Nigerian writers from Chinua Achebe, Amos Tutuola and Wole Soyinka to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Teju Cole have portrayed these Nigerian issues, and have also written about some of the momentous events in Nigerian history. Nigeria is a country shaped by internal diversity and transnational connections, past and present.

But, to be honest, there are times that I prefer to read Indonesian translations just to save time! LOL. So the problem lies here: while I still want to read Indonesian translations because of the above reasons, I also don’t want to lose hold of the true meaning of a literary work, which in my opinion can be expressed better in English. It’s not that Indonesian translated classics are all bad there are a lot of books that are translated wonderfully, some even came with added “Indonesian flavour”, like Landung Simpatupang’s translation of Nineteen-Eighty Four by George Orwell. Because somehow in the process of translating and editing, the meaning of a sentence or a paragraph can change. Translated books are more accessible, affordable, and understandable to them.īut then, being the perfectionist that I am, after some years of reading classics in both Indonesian translation and English, I can’t help the feeling that I’m missing the “true flavour” of a classic when I’m reading Indonesian translated version.
As Memoirs of a murderer progresses, the spectator captured by his wish to know, some surprising and some less surprising twists are introduced. But eventually the spectator’s position begins to overlap somewhat with the enjoying position of the public the spectator being driven by the same enjoyable wish to know. The perverse pleasure that the media and the public derives from Sonezaki, as the one who went beyond the law, is very sensibly brought to the fore in the narrative and becomes even slightly disturbing for the spectator. A collective interest that, for the victims, constitutes a repeating confrontation with the impact of the trauma, but also enables them, as Sonezaki drapes himself with the image of the murderer, to orient their anger, an anger that could not be oriented for twenty-two years (Psycho-note 1). The narrative shows the perverse collective interest of the public into those people who went beyond the law to enjoy themselves. The importance of his ego is furthermore underlined by the “I” in the title of the book, the “I” as being the one who takes up the image of murderer.įor the greater part of the narrative, Memoirs of a murderer concerns the enjoyment beyond the law as well as the enjoyment the media and the public finds in the enjoyment beyond the law. The conference, a true show for his ego, ridicules the police and media and glorifies his deeds. When Sonezaki first appears on the stage, it is already apparent, that despite his vocalized reason to find retribution with his publication, the prime reason of his coming-out is enjoyment and to reap the glory for the murders he can’t be tried for. But then Toshio Sendo (Toru Nakamura) raises doubts concerning the veracity of Sonezaki’s account (Narra-note 2). Detective Makimura (Hideaki Ito), who investigated the string of strangulations as his first murder case, feels powerless. As the strangler’s last crime happened just before the changes in the criminal law took effect, he appears to have evaded punishment for his crimes. He announces to reveal the truth of the murders once and for all in his confessional book, “I am the murderer”. Seventeen years later and twenty two years after the killings happened, Masato Sonezaki (Tatsuya Fujiwara), the Tokyo strangler organizes an elaborate press conference. In the very same year, the Japanese government revises the statute of limitations, eliminating the statute of limitations for capital offences (narra-note 1). In 2010, after fifteen years of unsuccessful investigating, the case of Tokyo’s serial strangler gets closed. While the plot is virtually unchanged, can Yu Irie make this narrative as exciting as the original was? Yu Irie, known for 8000 miles (2009), Hibi Rock (2014), is no stranger to the suspense genre, as he directed the popular suspense film “Joker Game” (2015), which won the Fan Grand Prize of the Nikkan Sports Film Award. It was so successful that Robot Communications decided to make a Japanese remake, with Yu Irie as director. When Jung Byung-gil released his first mainstream feature confession of murder, he probably never expected his movie to become so popular and that it would become an award-winning movie – it won the thriller competition of the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival for instance. “As long as one doesn’t expect to find any deep psychological truths on the nature of the serial killer in the narrative or a deep character study of a murderer as such, proves to be as thrilling and satisfying as the original was.” While such apps do have a build system to create a.
