Have You Had a Happening Today?

In the 20th century, the surrealist movement served to express fantastical unconscious thoughts. In this blog, I want to proposition the idea that "happening" is not supposed to mean all things of random expression and that happening operates independently of time when explaining its specification. Dr. Redick is not explaining the term as an apparatus either for us to use to explain the momentary either. The happening can last as long as the happening lasts. So, Surrealism, id say is not a movement to compare to the situation the happening presents. Nor is it a means to educate someone on what the definition means, even though it is not unfounded to say happening can't occur in such a period or any time at all. The term happening is not limited to any frame of time or historical time period when explaining its meaning.

Happening (I would assume) has a stronger association with sensationalism.  Clearly, the happening requires mental articulation to be a serviceable accomplice too. In class, we took a human relationship as a point of view. Looking at a personal marriage (or any relationship) we learned what the happening can serve to do (know why we incline a person to another). Also, to understand what even comforts someone regarding all nouns. Surrealism could be a period when people utilized art to figure out what is comfortable, but the reason why I include surrealism in this post is for two reasons. The first reason is that the surrealist movement for historians acts as a point to reference in time. This point in time is unique to human emotions; emotions can be included in explaining the happening. The second reason is that things that unconsciously equal a happening could pose as a point of confusion in understanding. For I do not discern all things that happen unconsciously done by planning.  The sensation that can be described by the word happening has the opportunity to be an omnipresent situation. Daily we have the opportunity to share experiences with other people. Two weeks ago we covered information talking about individuality more keenly. Dr Redick affirmed the idea of autonomy. You are in your own position at all times and cannot share absolutely everything. When you are unconscious of this, it goes into a place of ignorance, which the happening does not seem to account for until after the happening itself. Ultimately leading me to say that his idea is not designed wholeheartedly to be associated with "a" time when explaining. 

I am open to being incorrect in this blog and even lead a bit confusion. In order to fully understand the "happening".  I have done little research on what other scholars have talked about concerning the idea of the happening. But I am looking forward to doing more reconnaissance. To deepen an understanding. But this blog represents my "learning" stance or my approach to learning the condition.  Next Blog might tap into this idea of what C.S Lewis considers to be material. As this to me was an idea of interest brought up in class in relation to Narnia.

McDermott The Social Ethic

  My final paper for my honors seminar was about how Americans form their moral compasses and one of the things I researched for it was called the “Social Ethic.” It describes the tendency to submit yourself, as an individual, to the whims of the group, such as religious organizations or political parties. I think that myth can be a tool of the social ethic – in this sense, reason can function as an organization or group. Reason relies on imagination (we perceive the senses through it), and while too much pure logic can be bad, so can too much imagination. For example, back when the pandemic hit there were a bunch of people who said that they were immune to covid because they didn’t have the right “waves” for it to transmit to them because their political party and the people within it told them so (a view relying almost entirely on imagination with very little science to back it up, if any at all). It was almost like mob mentality. We saw this happen in Big Fish . The son was affe...

Tyler van Opstal "Inklings Apart"

    In the 1968 Understanding Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings (alternatively titled The Tolkien Relation ) by William Ready, C.S. Lewis is mentioned more regularly than anyone but Tolkien himself. This itself is entirely rational, Lewis having been another member of the Inklings club to which Tolkien also belonged, but the treatment of Lewis by Ready is often strange or otherwise notable.     Lewis is first mentioned in Understanding Tolkien in the first chapter, after Ready discusses the Andrew Lang lecture by Tolkien that we read at the beginning of class to lay a framework for how myth and story can be understood. Ready takes umbrage with what he sees as an unfair treatment of Tolkien by scholars, blaming the fame of Lewis for coloring their opinions of him (Dr. Thompson states it is his recollection that Lewis was indeed more famous than Tolkien prior to the LotR movies). Ready complains that "Tolkien has been tarred by [Lewis'] brush" and that the resulting mi...

Tyler van Opstal "Here There Be Dragons"

     In Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet , when the protagonist has his revelation about the nature of Space and its true identity as the Heavens, he is realizing that the maps of the storytellers are more accurate than any map that science can produce. And if the storytellers can chart the stars better than the physicists, then perhaps the storytellers also charted the seas better than the satellites have.      Many older maps feature creatures and gods. Even when the explorers had discovered the world was a sphere and that there was not a giant cliff at the end of a flat world guarded by dragons, storytellers continued to etch their maps with "Here there be dragons." The winds remained portrayed by the four wind gods perched in the map corners, and the sketches of great serpents in the oceans were kept. The storytellers understood that it did not matter whether there were literal dragons and wyverns lurking in and above the ocean, the danger they represent...
