Questions on Daydreaming Personal Anecdote

I examined the subject of daydreaming, its dissociative aspects as a consequence of the media that cause it and provided an example of a cousin who dissociates from real life while getting immersed in the fictional world of film or text for a while.

  1. Why do media have such a powerful impact on (especially young) people given the fact that we all consume movies, television series, and written fiction knowing that it is not real?
  1. Is it correct to assume that there are specific kinds of people who are susceptible to

daydreaming?

  1. If yes, why these particular people and what can be done to help them?
  2. Are there associations between daydreaming and our construction of reality as we go about day-to-day activities?
  1. Why is it that daydreaming is more common in some people than others?
  2. Is there a potentially permanent impact of daydreaming, especially a negative one, given the fact that it causes dissociative behavior among young people?
  1. What are some of the challenges that a person such as my cousin may face in trying to handle daydreaming?

 

  1. Is it possible for one to use the creative benefits of daydreaming consistently and sustainably with its dangers being so common and hard to deal with?
  1. Why is it that people do not seem to realize the impact of daydreaming on their behavior even after they “come back” to reality?
  1. Would be correct to argue that some forms of media are more powerful at leading to both daydreaming and its dissociative impact?
  1. If yes, what can be done to reduce the harmful impacts of these media?

Question: : Wilson’s postwar novel gives us the characters Tom and Betsy Rath. From the pages you read, how would you describe this pair? What do they value? What do you think they represent? Next, put them in dialogue with a work by or featuring Jackson Pollock from class. How could we discuss the Raths and Pollock in relation to one another? In other words, how do the Raths help us understand the radicality (or lack thereof) of Pollock?

The aim of these papers is to give you practice in situating works of art in their historical contexts and/or within the larger field of art history. What can the ambitions of an artist—as outlined in an artist statement— or the responses of critics—as articulated in a review—tell us about the priorities or values of a particular historical moment; and then how can we deploy that information in offering our own accounts of what is happening in a week of art? How can we assess the work of scholars who came before us and then position our thought in relation to theirs?
