Generally speaking, the word refers to the action research to seek.
In particular, the word can refer to the intellectual effort to achieve intellectual mastery of new techniques or concepts. Research areas are as numerous as the notions waited: peace, truth, profit, balance, and common interest ... At least, we must distinguish:
- Search for the laws (of the "world system")
- Search for truth
- Production of new knowledge
This part of the research paper is an analytical study of literature. It seems to me appropriate to have a better understanding of the structures and concepts to compose this section into two parts. The first one on the synthesis of literature and the other one on different concepts protruding during my research and to

During the establishment of my subject, I knew what I wanted to discuss what I wanted to touch in particular without knowing exactly how to approach the question or where I intended to get to the end. Talk with friends and colleagues from my former internships about it allowed me to ask to myself questions, deepen and dig what I had in mind to successfully emerge a clear idea of work to be done to this memory. After a long period of reflection, discussion and sharing with different people, the time to research has come. This is a task not easy to realize that searching for articles, books or publications on a specific topic. It was almost impossible to find literature on the whole subject that I have defined. …show more content…

In Alice Walker’s story “Everyday Use,” symbolism, allegory, and myth stand out when thinking about the characters, setting, and conflict in the story. The conflict is between the mother and her two daughters (Maggie and Dee). There is also the conflict between the family’s heritage (symbolized by the quilt, bench, and butter chum) and their different ways of life. Dee chose a new African name, moved to the city, and adopted a new way of life while Maggie and her mother have stay behind. The quilt (the most important symbol) represents the family’s heritage in that it is made of scraps of clothing worn by generations of family members. The quilt has been sewn by family hands and used on family beds. It has seen history and is history. Maggie and her mother see that that history is alive but Dee thinks it is as dead as her name. Dee does not see that name as part of her heritage. By analyzing these symbols, a number of possibilities for a theme can be seen. Walker could be suggesting that to understand the African-American heritage, readers have to include the present as well as the past. However, the theme could be that poverty and a lack of sophistication and education cannot be equated with ignorance. Lastly, she could be telling her readers that dignity or self-respect rise from and are virtually connected to one’s entire heritage- not just a selected part of it.

The discussion on the metadiscursivity of literature features it with interdiscursivity and intertextuality. The paper concludes far from analogizing the actual world, the virtual metadiscourse of literature runs parallel to the real world in an attempt to otherwise it.
The idea of what literatures function is in shaping society saw a huge change throughout the years, each one of these periods can easily be separated by what literature was used for in each specific era and the ideas that are represented in the literature of these years. The two periods I would like to analyze are romanticism and modernism, namely for the dramatic change in both the form and the use of literature, along with its value to society. Between the romantic and modernist era of literature, writing went from a complex expression of ideals and evocation of emotion to a much less explicit and much more of a social commentary meant to convey unique and new ideas and bring a much different form of realization to the reader.

Literature doesn 't reserved the right to be only written works, but spoken, shared, made-up and expressed in different forms such as live performance, music, TV shows, comic strips and others.

Observe the list of required literary works assigned to any current or past high school student, and chances are you will see an abundance of similar titles appear in each syllabi. These lists of works typically include the iconic literary masterpieces brought forth by Ray Bradbury, Harper Lee, and Shakespeare, among others. Many a time one is quick to lash the whip of criticism on to these pieces, regarding them as the typical, dreary literature that is deemed mandatory time and time again. Although these reads may seem mundane and utterly inapplicable to not only those required to read them, but contemporary society as a whole, it is vital that one breaks down this ever-hardening wall of criticisms in an effort to understand their place

Postmodernism attempts to call into question or challenge the notion of a single absolute unified master narrative without simply replacing it with another. It is a paradoxical, recursive, and problematic method of critique.
There are many contributing factors to the definition of literature, which complicates the act of naming meant to group concepts based on their similarities. Though there have been “various attempts to define literature” through the features that are contained within this artistic genre, there has been no
In the present academic world, the status quo of subjects typically taught in schools are changing rapidly. Curricula in many school systems appear to be outdated and need to be improved and modernized. Classic literary works, that are so well-known by educators and students, are now in the process of being removed. According to Lyndsey Layton, author of “Common Core State Standards in English spark war over words,” “The Common Core State Standards in English, which have been adopted in 46 states and the District, call for public schools to ramp up nonfiction so that by 12th grade students will be reading mostly “informational text” instead of fictional literature.” With standards such as Common Core, it is believed that by exempting non-fictional
