Holes in the Tower of Babel The Tower of Babel story (Genesis 11:1–9) is among the most famous in the Bible. It might even be considered an iconic text—famous beyond its actual content; since the story was originally written it has come to mean much more than its actual words. Although many Westerners have a vague idea of what the story is about, or at least know the name "Babel," it is best to (re)read the text in full. Here it is in the New Revised Standard Version: 1Now the whole ear...

"To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd by opposing end them. To die, to sleep,No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to: ’tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish’d." — William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1 Godzilla has always been an allegory for post-war Japan, but the character’...
Homer as metaphorically blind Wavelength.ai says: There are literary readings and discussions on the question of whether Homer (the poet) was blind or if there is metaphorical significance to the legend of Homer himself. Some scholars believe that Homer and his blindness are legendary due to the lack of information about his life. You can find more information in the following sources: 1.

The veteran filmmaker Heinz Emigholz is probably best known for his one hundred architectural films without people or voices. In The Last City (2020), he returns to narrative filmmaking after twenty-five years. The result is an irreverent mix of the casual and perfectionist, the absurd and the confessional, a handmade, queer set of collisions. The film starts with an archaeologist and a weapons designer – who, in a prior life, knew each other as a filmmaker and a psychoanalyst – meeting at an...
Textiles and Words (stories) Using wavelength.aiMe: There are other linguistic connections between the two concepts of weaving and stories. For example, many of the phrases and words we use regarding storytelling make metaphorical reference to textiles and textile manufacturing. Here are a few examples, and I’d like you to come up with as many others as possible. My examples: 1. Weaving a tale 2. Spinning a yarn 3. Writing in an email thread 4. "That’s a whole different belt of cloth" 5. A ...
Penelope fem. proper name, name of the faithful wife in the "Odyssey," from Greek Pēnelopē, Pēnelopeia, which is perhaps related to pēne "thread on the bobbin," from pēnos "web," cognate with Latin pannus "cloth garment" (see pane (n.)). But Beekes suggests rather a connection with pēnelops "duck or wild goose with colored neck." Used in English as the type of the virtuous wife (1580) as it was in Latin.From etymonline.comrelatedly:pane (n.)mid-13c., "garment, cloak, mantle; a part of a ga...
Time Bandits (1981) | Avco Embassy Pictures> Theft as metaphor/metaphor as theftWho is the God of the white man of the midwestern United States? And once we know who God is, we have to ask: does he have anything worth nicking? Former American Terry Gilliam has directed 12½ feature films, all of them fantastical reflections of our society and its foibles. Gilliam is the most cynical fantasist in cinema, and his surreal, misty films often put our own bad behavior on display. Gilliam crafts a sh...
English teachers, myself included, like to correct people who conflate Dr. Frankenstein with his monster, but recently I’ve started to consider the possibility that the misnomer speaks to a fundamental equation of artists with monsters. Jenny Ofill introduced the term "art monster" in her novel Dept. of Speculation. Shortly after having her first child, the novel’s nameless narrator reflects on the path she might have taken, were it not for motherhood: My plan was to never get married. ...
A friend explains that the world is divided into paragraph and sentence writers. A paragraph writer is like a brick mason, working with consistent materials and focused on maintaining a clean line as a wall unfolds. Building a stone wall, a sentence writer in contrast begins with a pile of rocks—clots of material formed by processes beyond human measure. In This Wide Terraqueous World, Laird Hunt is a sentence writer in whose hand the sentences turn like prisms, reframing these essays’ collec...

Mukundan Unni Associates (2022): A discussion of Shakespeare adaptations isn’t exactly a "thing" right now, thanks to his oeuvre covering most (if not all) plot points and the fact that few films aren’t Shakespearean in some way. We have reached a point where a film’s (or any text’s) similitude to one of his plays falls flat. Now it is easy to overlook – for lack of a better word – the late British playwright’s (whose authorship is still contested by conspiracy theorists and obstinate Marlowe...
Share this Article D.J. Caruso’s latest film, "Shut In (2022)" is a survival thriller that stars Rainey Qualley, Jake Horowitz, and Vincent Gallo.

Now what she does here on, while being locked inside the room with her young kid...
Since his feature film debut Eraserhead was released in 1977, David Lynch has cemented himself as one of cinema’s most innovative minds. Master of the surreal, his movies often confuse viewers with their use of unconventional cinematic devices, such as nonlinearity and reversed dialogue. However, all of Lynch’s films have one primary concern – the destruction of the American Dream – and recognising this theme makes his work easier to detangle. Lynch’s distinctive visual aesthetic direc...
There are plenty of arguments about what Ted Kaczynski’s philosophy, put forth through a manifesto forcibly published in The Washington Post, is really saying. It’s been in vogue to reconsider some of his points as reasonable and in common with the disillusioned younger generations of America. Tony Stone’s movie Ted K doesn’t really dig into the ideas within Kaczynski’s manifesto as talking points but rather, simply recapitulates them out as voiceovers juxtaposed with various imagery that may...

Playing video games can be many things: entertaining, collaborative, emotional, or even a learning experience. Using video games for education is nothing new, but in recent years developers have seen how interactive media can help create an understanding of those around us. According to Professor Paul Fletcher at the University of Cambridge, "Video games can be powerful tools because they are absorbing and immersive. They require active participation, and they allow players to explore new and...
