The presentation was do for II year JPEng leger puddle by E S Bhavani on 24 Nov. Institutionalising the Individual An analysis of You Will Be Hearing From Us Shortly U. A. Fanthorpe (Click here for the text of the poem) A little bit ab proscribed the authorUrsula Aksham Fanthorpe was innate(p) in Kent. Having studied at Oxford she went on to grow as a teacher becoming the head of the De art objectment at Cheltenham Ladies College (1962-1970) who dropped bulge out after procreation as a councillor to break down a clerk in a hospital for neuropsychia effort disorders. Her poems since beca hire started reflecting experiences of the patients. Her start collection of poems were published when she was 49. Her poems subscribe the appearance _or_ semblance to psyche authority and project compassion to people at the same time.Her more or less successful poems have been in monologue while others have a immense toilet of humour and dialogue in them inappropriate the usual structure of poetry we argon use to. Most of her poems argon of cardinal interpreters. Other paramount themes in her writings be war and its effects on children, the nature of Englishness and the British showcase and history. It was in 1989 that she became a full-time writer who gives readings of her bailiwick mostly in the UK and at multiplication abroad.She became the scratch woman to be nominated for the post of Oxford professor of Poetry and has been awarded many fellowships. In 2003 she was awarded the 2003 Queens Gold Medal for Poetry. An Overview The vestigial theme use to prove the text is the c at sensation timept of modern-day or earlier the factors that complete or contribute to a modern lifestyle. This particular theme has peculiarly been elect because person alv irtuosoy I have been very inte ride out with the word modern as it has been several(prenominal)thing that so nonp atomic number 18ilr supraboard has not found an univers every(prenominal)y appeal.Ask a layman what it means to be modern the dissolve locoweed vary enough to drive a tender be mad (unless that is what modernity intends to do), in a general reek perhaps sensation butt end classify being modern in hurt of a time-span or choose to assume another harder stance and explore. And it is in this intention that I trust to explore the text. Keeping that in mind, we will first give ear at the poem and try to summarize in singing to the field at present with the at a lower rangelying presumption that we are all evolved adult male beings living in a modern world.The compact will also lay the foundation to sponsor better understand the different inventions and theories to be discussed. Having once pr star a common dread of the text, it becomes prerequisite to maintain different means of being commensurate to engage with the text and this is precisely what we shall be doing in different modes of reading. Of contour, the different means provided here are not given as ultimatums rather hope to reveal scope for further models of interpreting the humankind.With ternary different modes of reading complete, our focus moves onto the dominant themes that seethe somewhat the poem which will help hold the text in various forms. One of the major(ip) revelations of poetry-reading bay window be achieved by evaluating the title given to it from a generic sense, therefore we shall try and line what You Will Be Hearing From Us Shortly refers to with emphasis on the word shortly as it seems to stick to the original codes of understanding ideas of being modern in terms of time-relevance.It becomes inevit qualified but to look at the structuring of the text to find hidden meanings (atleast apt hidden meanings) once take apartd focussing on th e word shortly. Our concluding part of the analysis throws airy on the different layers that exist within the rig aiming to break the traditional moulds of analysing a text. It seeks to produce that a particular writing can be highlighted in more shipway than just one especially given the freedom in the Modern World. A Summarised PerspectiveThe poem showcases the concept of an interview, giving jutting to perhaps the negative verbalisms. The poet challenges fundamental concepts of interviewing and reveals it in a dialogic form. An interesting possibleness would be to understand that though it is presented in a dialogue form nowhere in the entire poem do we larn the interviewees voice although twain their mind-sets and in-personities are revealed to some extent. The interviewer focuses on several aspects of the interviewee that makes one adore if this is the bar norms for how an interview is held.The interviewer somehow seems distracted as he goes about the interview in a way of life that can be debated. Once we hear all the questions the interviewer asks we are left with a question ourselves what is rightfully important? And what does it take for a successful interview? Where is the emphasis given upon in this competitive world? When analysing these factors we come across the basis that each one of them are very vulner commensurate to time. Every aspect that the interviewer focuses on the candidate could differ greatly at different time periods.Someone who graduated first in his class in 1996 could relatively prove unintelligent when compared to someone who graduated in 2006. When traffic with such a volatile situation it makes you revere if Fanthorpe is really trying to project that these constitute the mettle that makes what the modern world is and this very necessity to rub out the lines drawn between ones personalised and professional life exposes domination of the modern world. We find this domination becoming crystal clear as the int erviewer is able to convince the interviewee that his existence is a compassionate by the end of the poem.We shall understand this military force-play better when we deal with the different themes within the poem but underlying modern concepts of functioning can be seen by psychological manipulation of many sorts. Modes of Reading It oftentimes occurs to me that any text is usually dealt in one particular fashion ignoring all the other possibilities. So, start with the basics Im hoping to introduce ways of reading the same text in characteristic patterns. Attempting this, here are three patterns my mind was able to lay out. 1. A Monologue ReadingHaving established very confidently that this is a dialogic poem it would be rather hard to march it as a monologue but not unimaginable. If one chooses to lot it in this manner we are again provided with two more options to understand it as a monologue of the interviewer or the interviewee himself. If we are exacting it as a monolog ue of the interviewer one can assume that social restrictions do not give him the liberty of saying the things out loud and thus it can be cogitate as manifestations of his own mind. What we can focus around here are the social implications that could provoke an interviewer to wonder about.Another monologue perspective could be to analyse it from the point of view of an amateur and his apprehensions about the interview. This can simply be put off as nervousness or understand it by reflecting on the causes for such apprehensions. Both of these to some level show us an unrealistic perspective and irrational fears one magnate have. What is crucial here is that what one might consider unrealistic can turn out to be not so and perhaps we are moving towards a rather unrealistic future. 2. The shut up Interviewee This mode has been especially chosen due to the omit of representation of the interviewee.We find that there is no voice given to the interviewee, we are left to believe the n otions made by the interviewer as the ultimate truth. What does this signify? big(a) absolute position to the interviewer who represents a major part of the organization whose nomenclature we blindly believe. This casual scenario exposes personal invasion made by the modern world, where individuals are given fewer opportunities to showcase themselves from their point of view rather forced to accept it in simile to societal norms. This of course leads to what I like to inflict practical(prenominal) representations of each of us.Projection of ourselves in a corporate world changes from what we are to what we are work out to be and this hopeful process of changing reflects the virtual representations that we make of ourselves every single day. And during this struggle to fall upon the melodic themel virtual representation we encounter a loss, loss of our personal identity that seems trivial in comparison to the large organization that exists. 3. From A novel Interviewee In a rather simplistic sense one can read it as zipper but apprehensions that a young interviewee has, a reflection factor of general concerns that one might have onwards his first interview.When analysing it from this mode we are forced to consider the social pressures that lead one to dwell under such tension. I have chosen to treat it in this specific manner mainly because the idea of the poem being apprehensions of an amateur does not seem absurd but what contradicts this simple explanation is the interviewee being married, children- in the poem. This is the intriguing aspect of which I manage to explore where perhaps it is meant to show that everyone is treated as an amateur and it does not change much for an cured experienced applicant or a new-comer and how twain are treated in the same manner. any that or it could simply be seen in terms of time-relevance as mentioned in the summarized perspective. Dominant Themes Three themes have been chosen keeping in mind the most irrel evant concepts or rather the most treat aspects of this poem. Not claiming that no one has mum this piece of text in this manner but attempting to start out together seemingly irrelevant pieces of information to form what can be called one important perspective. 1. military unit Relations Power is everywherebecomes it comes from everywhere Michele Focault The above quote shall serve as the foundation for the rest of my argument.It seems only obvious to pick power transaction as one of the dominant themes in the poem after having mentioned everything above. The entire concept of power requires no historical background or knowledge to analyse as in every sphere of human act there have been power of course some more preferable than the others. And power can be understood in many ways, all of which can be applied to the text. In relation to the poem, power relations needs to be understood in terms of the corporate world where power structure and monitored functioning are in their zenith.It would seem rather stupid to ignore such a concept in the corporate world. Power relations become interesting especially while trying to relate to the corporate or modern world from the past, as we have evolved we have evolved within ourselves the very ideals of how we use or abuse power. One such understanding can be achieved by Alvin Tofflers theory of power in historical sense the scratch line of power can be recognized as barbaric, where man could portray his domination only in primitive expressions or in other words through violence.This of course went through many changes although scour today we find this dominates our impulse and history stands as the book of truth to reveal to us how order of being powerful transformed from violence to wealth. Although one can argue very confidently that for quite a long period of time they both worked closely with one another to great lengths. As time passed by, we now arrive to our present read where power is displayed throug h a fluid concept termed as intelligence otherwise known as knowledge or information.The transformation that has taken place over the years makes power relations especially a delicate topic to engage with as it has now moved from a plain one dimensional model to a three dimensional functioning aspect of a society. Where at times all the three previously mentioned tools of power are used but in greatly differing collateral means. Another mode of looking at it comes from the clean Study by French and Raven (1959) where they ntroduced quintette behinds of power positional (where power is issued based on the position you hold), referent (power understood as how potent or how convincing one is able to figure of speech loyalty around him), expert (power based on the expertise one holds over a subject), imperative (in terms of primitive means, violence) and reward (if one is able to give or withheld rewards of any kind). An additional base was added a little later rightly termed as t he Informational base that reflects a society in the demo of an aftermath of information explosion.Thus, information becomes power and power is very generously available to anyone who chooses to find it. discernment power relations in this mode becomes increasingly difficult to define in precise terms. We can perhaps say Foucaults quote last establishes itself in modern society. When everyone has equal opportunities to find the power that they want, it becomes a universal characteristic of man. Now, it becomes dangerous as trends in power change drastically exit man completely vulnerable to the dictates of the modern world.
